Kids' shorts: girls and boys

What children's shorts can you find at Foot-Store?

The selection includes children's shorts for girls and boys in various materials and styles: lightweight mesh for sports, jersey for more casual use, or fleece for cooler days. You'll find both classic cuts and high-waisted shorts for girls, in sizes ranging from the youngest child to teenagers.

Some models feature a club or team's branding, while others are more understated for everyday wear. The common point across the selection: shorts designed for movement, at school, during sports, or on holiday.

Which brands of children's shorts are available?

Three brands make up the catalog: Nike, adidas, and Jordan.

• Nike offers several lines of children's shorts, from simple mesh models like the Essential Mesh to jersey or fleece cuts like the Club Jersey or Reimagine FT, as well as versions specifically for girls like the Futura Bike.
• adidas complements the range with boys' shorts in a classic sporty style, like the B 3S Sho, suitable for both everyday wear and training.
• Jordan provides children's shorts with a more streetwear style, like the Galaxy model, striking a balance between sport and lifestyle.

How to choose children's shorts according to their use?

The choice mainly depends on the intended use. For sports or football school, lightweight mesh shorts like the Nike Essential Mesh dry quickly and allow good freedom of movement. For more everyday use, a jersey or fleece cut offers more comfort and can be worn off the pitch as well.

For girls, high-waisted models provide different support compared to classic cuts and can easily be worn with leggings underneath depending on the season. Also consider checking the length: some children's shorts are cut shorter, while others come down further above the knee.

What other children's clothing can be paired with shorts?

Shorts easily combine with other pieces in the children's wardrobe, which you can find in the following pages:

• The polo shirts and t-shirts to pair with shorts for sunny days or after a sports session.
• The sweatshirts to cover up when temperatures drop without giving up on shorts.
• The jackets and coats to add as an outer layer over lighter outfits.
• The coats and puffer jackets for winter, when shorts give way to other bottoms.
• The tracksuit bottoms, an alternative to shorts for cooler days or more covering outfits.

All these pages are part of the Children category, which includes lifestyle clothing for younger ones.

When to keep an eye out for good deals on children's shorts?

Several sections of the website allow you to follow ongoing promotions on children's clothing, though none are guaranteed to a specific date. The Black Friday and the pages Black Friday lifestyle and Black Friday concentrate part of the end-of-year offers, followed by the holidays themselves, which are often good for buying children's clothing.

Next come the winter sales, found on the pages Sales lifestyle and Sales, then the French Days in spring. Outside of these periods, the page Clearance lifestyle and the page Deals lifestyle help to spot items nearing the end of their run. The pages New Arrivals lifestyle and Shipped in 24h are useful for keeping track of recent arrivals or finding a pair of shorts available quickly.

Frequently asked questions

How to know what size of shorts to get for a child?

Children's shorts sizes are generally chosen according to age and body type indicated on the product page, but cuts can vary slightly from brand to brand. If in doubt between two sizes, it's better to go for the larger size, especially for shorts that are meant to last for several seasons.

Can children's sports shorts be worn outside the pitch?

Yes, most mesh or jersey shorts in the selection are suitable for training as well as everyday use, at school or during leisure time. Only some very technical models are designed solely for sports practice.

What is the difference between girls' shorts and boys' shorts?

Boys' shorts usually feature classic straight cuts, while girls' shorts also include high-waisted models or more fitted cuts. The choice mainly depends on the desired comfort and intended use, rather than a strict rule.

Do children's shorts Nike, adidas and Jordan come with matching pieces?

Some shorts belong to broader lines that also include matching tops, like a t-shirt or sweatshirt from the same collection. It’s useful to check the product page to see if a complementary piece exists in the same range.

Does a children's fleece short keep as warm as tracksuit bottoms?

A fleece short offers more warmth than a mesh short but is still less covering than tracksuit bottoms, as it leaves the legs exposed below the knee. For chilly days, it’s often worn with leggings or a pair of long socks underneath.
