Baby boys' shorts: cool and easy to put on
tuc tuc baby boys' shorts are made of knit or woven fabric with an elasticated waist, many with a drawstring, ideal for warm weather. There are styles printed with palm trees, stripes or letters and others in lightweight denim. Sizes start at 6 months. Pair them with baby boys' T-shirts or take a look at baby boys' outfits.
Knit or woven fabric for a baby
- Knit: soft and stretchy, the best option for crawling and naps.
- Woven fabric or lightweight denim: smarter, for walks and eating out.
Sizing with a nappy
A baby measuring 75–83 cm wears size 12-18 months; from 83 to 92 cm, size 18-24 months or 2 years. Shorts should be roomy over the nappy and the elasticated waist shouldn't dig into the tummy. If in doubt, the larger size.
Practical details
Look for an elasticated waist without buttons for nappy changes. Knit shorts with turned-up or bound hems don't fray and stand up well to frequent washing.
For care, wash inside out and cold, without tumble drying, and rinse in fresh water if they've been to the beach or pool. Always follow the care label. If your baby is over 92 cm, move up to size 3 years, which is for 93–98 cm.
How many pairs of shorts for summer?
For a baby, four or five pairs of shorts cover the week between washes. Mix two plain or striped knit pairs with a printed one and a lightweight denim pair for going out.
