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

  • Height

    Have your child stand in front of the fridge.Mark the top of the head with a magnet. Measure a straight line from floor to magnet.

  • 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.

  • Hip

    Have your child stand like a tall tree with feet together. Measure a level line around the fullest part of the hips & seat.

  • Inseam

    Take a pair of pants that fit your child well. Measure along the seam from crotch to leg opening.

    We love the sizing, but I didn't love the length so much. I wish this came in different lengths since my son isn't quite as tall...yet, and these look crazy baggy on him.

    These quick-dry school uniform shorts are my go-to for every school day! They are incredibly durable, standing up to daily wear and tear throughout the entire school year. The adjustable waist is a fantastic feature, ensuring a perfect fit as my child grows. Highly recommend for any parent looking for reliable school shorts!

    Becca - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    These are not the same shorts as previous years. They’re incredibly long, even on my tall child. This new material is no longer wrinkle-free, which is what I had loved about them. They get deep set wrinkles that are difficult to even iron out.

    CMS - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Same as other reviews - have bought these shorts every school year for 5 years and now they are a solid 5 inches longer than they should be (or ever have been). I cannot fathom paying more than this for shorts, which is why I kept them and had my mom hem them, but still, come one Target, go back to the old layout. This one is so goofy on my son, in an already goofy time of his life. Help us out, Target. Sincerely, Moms everyhere

    And do not waste your time buying these. This was my third year purchasing but like all other reviews say, my son looked like a clown in these. They looked like gaucho pants on him. Now I have to scramble to get them all hemmed or purchase elsewhere. Hard no Target.

    Atchaleigh - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Just like other reviews state, these shorts are WAY too long this year. They are hitting my kids below their knees! We’ve bought the quick dry shorts for YEARS in toddler and boys sizes. We live in south Florida and my kids ride their bikes to school. These shorts are more comfortable for them than the regular uniform shorts. No clue what Target was thinking this year making the inseam so much longer. I’m debating hemming them to an appropriate “in style” length, or just ordering somewhere else.

    Great fabric but they changed the cut of these and they fit huge! Way longer and wider than previous cut. I buy these every year and they changed the style - they didn’t fit this baggy before. Bummer.

    Dowehaveto - 5 months ago
    Loved them last year. They were my son’s favorites. This year, however, they have long tube legs. You can kind of see what I’m talking about on the model in the pic. It looks much worse on an average sized child, and it’s REALLY goofy looking when walking, and lastly it’s hot with all that fabric bunching up in the crotch. Hoping I can find something shorter because the approved uniform shorts at School Time are just as terrible. The thighs are like tubes. Not quite as long but really skinny, much thicker fabric and very uncomfortable. : /
