From little leaps to big-kid sprints, our Girls, Boys & Baby Shorts are made for movement, mess, and magic. Think soft stretch, easy waistbands, and fun prints that turn getting dressed into a tiny victory dance. We keep things comfy so they can keep doing their thing—cartwheels, cuddle breaks, treasure hunts—and you get more time to cheer them on.
For girls who never sit still, our girls shorts are cute little biker shorts made from soft stretch cotton. They’re perfect for sport, gymnastics, running, and play—anywhere legs like to zoom. Designed with a snug fit that hugs without holding them back, a mid rise that sits at the true waistline for ultimate comfort, and a mid-thigh length for just-right coverage. The encased elastic runs the full width of the waistband, so it stays smooth and comfy all day. We’ve created a range of colors too, so matching a sports uniform is easy-peasy.
Meet the Hailey Bike Short for girls who live in motion. It’s perf for everything from Saturday sport to lounging and hangs with friends. The fabric is soft and stretchy, ready for big moves and bigger moods. Choose from a range of cute prints that spark instant smiles. Like our classic girls bike shorts, Hailey comes with a snug fit, a true mid-rise waist, a mid-thigh length, and an encased full-width elastic waistband that keeps things secure without any pinch. Stock up—these are the shorts they’ll reach for on repeat.
For boys, the Henry Slouch Short is the warm weather must-have. Made from soft knit fabric with a comfy elastic waist and functional drawcord, these shorts are easy on-and-off and ready for anything. The relaxed fit gives room to move, the mid-thigh length feels breezy, and the side pockets are perfect for pocket treasures—stones, shells, secret snacks. They stay comfy and you spend less time changing them; it’s a win-win for busy mornings and even busier playgrounds.
For babies, the Blake Short is a summer staple. It has a comfy, relaxed fit with room to wriggle and crawl, plus a short leg length to keep little knees free for exploring. The waistband is encased elastic the full way around, so changes are quick and gentle. Solid color options get a sweet label hem detail, and the mock tie makes it look dressed-up without any fiddly bits. Cute? Absolutely. Comfy? Always.
And for tiny movers who like a little snug, our baby bike shorts keep things streamlined for tummy time to first steps. They’re rib shorts with a slim, comfy fit, an elasticated waistband that’s kind to little bellies, and twin needle stitching for durability. Soft, secure, and perfect under tees or dresses—no bunching, no fuss, all comfort.
Styling girls bike shorts is all about play and practicality. For sport days, pick our girls shorts in a color that matches their team tee—mid-thigh length means cartwheel confidence, and the snug fit stays put through sprints and stretches. On chill days, the Hailey Bike Short shines with an oversized graphic tee and sneakers; add a hoodie when the breeze rolls in. For gymnastics or dance, that soft stretch cotton sits snug under a leotard, and the true mid-rise waistband stays comfy through twists, tumbles, and twirls. Want to turn the playground into a runway? Choose a Hailey print and let it lead the outfit—rainbows with a sunny tank, animal spots with a denim jacket, or stars with a sparkle tee. Easy, peasy, outfit breezy.
Boys Slouch Shorts make everyday dressing a two-step: pull on, play on. The relaxed fit pairs perfectly with a classic tee or tank for park days, and the functional drawcord means you can fine-tune the waist for growing bodies. Mid-thigh length keeps things cool while they climb and race, and side pockets are ready for all that kid stuff they swear is essential. For cooler afternoons, throw on a lightweight hoodie and trainers. Heading to the beach? Henry Slouch Shorts over swimmers, slides on feet, and pockets prepped for shells—that’s a day well played.
Baby Shorts are where cute meets clever. The Blake Short loves a simple bodysuit or soft tee, because quick changes are the name of the game. The encased elastic waistband is gentle for pram naps and tummy time alike, and the short leg length keeps little legs free to kick. Solid colors with that sweet label hem detail make any snap a keeper, while the mock tie gives you the look of a dressed-up short without tricky ties. For crawlers, pair with a breathable onesie and socks; for first steps, add soft shoes and a sunhat and you’re out the door faster than “Where are the wipes?”
Baby Bike Shorts are your under-everything hero. The slim fit slides neatly under dresses and tunics for crawl-friendly coverage, and the rib fabric moves with every wiggle. The elasticated waistband sits softly on round little tums, and twin needle stitching means they can roll, reach, and repeat without stretching out. Keep a spare pair in the nappy bag—they take up almost no space and turn any surprise spill into a quick change and a happy dance.
Choosing between snug and slouch is simple: think about the day ahead. For focused movement—sport, gymnastics, big-energy play—girls bike shorts bring that snug, stay-put feel with a mid-rise, true waistline that keeps them comfy. For laid-back days and all-day exploring, boys slouch shorts deliver easy comfort with room to move, mid-thigh length airflow, and pockets for their “very important” finds. For babies, go relaxed with Blake for breezy comfort or slim with baby bike shorts when you want that under-layer hug.
Whatever you pick, every style is designed to be easy on-and-off and gentle on skin, with elastic waistbands that won’t twist and fabrics that feel soft from the first wear. We create colors and prints that mix and match without thinking, so outfits come together in a snap and mornings feel a little less like a relay race. Your kid gets shorts that can keep up. You get peace of mind and more time for the magic in between.
Girls, Boys & Baby Shorts that play nicely, wash well, and make everyday moments feel like big adventures—that’s the Cotton On Kids promise. Now, who’s ready for the next round of hide-and-seek?
