Kids’ measuring guide

Use the tips & visuals in this guide to make taking your child's body measurements easy-peasy.

Dont have a fabric tape measure? Use a shoelace or pant leg to measure. Then, lay it flat & use a ruler or tape measure to get a numerical measurement.

How to measure

  • Chest

    Have your child make airplane arms. Wrap tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping it level & snug.

  • Waist

    With your child bending to one side, measure the point where the waist flexes naturally. Keep the tape level & comfortably loose.

    I cannot believe how bad the quality has gotten. I've ordered these shorts in the past and my son really likes them. However, these are so thin, as soon as I touched them I put them in a bag to return. Not worth the $6 I paid for them. So disappointed.

    Great lightweight athletic shorts with pockets and a drawstring at the waist. Many colors and sizes to choose from and relatively cheap. The shorts run small though and size XL now fits more like a L. Definitely size up for this one or they’ll be too short.

    I purchased the Small and Medium for my 8 yr old son who is on the skinnier side. I'm sticking with the Medium since the length works for him. The waist is a little wide but the interior drawstring fixes that. The price point is perfect! I love all the color options and will be back for more this summer!

    My boy struggles with certain clothing fitting too loose, or too tight. These shorts were the right fit, price, and style. We had to get these in a hurry because he didn't want to wear the soccer uniform shorts. These were a great copy of those shorts.

    These shorts are incredibly thin and see through. Good for “breathability” in the heat, but underwear needs to be very dark or can be seen through the shorts (we got the black shorts).
