🩳 Boys' Southpole Belted Ripstop Basic Shorts: Stylish Comfort for Everyday Wear Review

My son usually needs slim sizes and when we don't have them we rely on elastic waist adjusters. They didn't have those shorts, so we're hoping to get by with a belt until he grows more into them. In general, the style, material and quality are good, so we don't plan to return them. Hopefully they'll be fine in a few months when school starts.

I was looking for some cargo shorts that aren't boring (read: blue, black, beige or camo) for my 7 year old who wears a size 10 Husky. He needed something that could be adjusted at the waist and wouldn't cost a fortune either. They seemed just right - and they suited the boy! He can also wear them without a belt (although he often pulls them up). I have 4 colors (red, orange, yellow and white). Very happy.

These shorts were stained with blue ink and tons of loose threads all over the shorts. I bought them for a photoshoot and when they arrived they had small bruises and dozens of lost threads! I used hairspray to lighten blemishes and spent an evening trimming strands while watching TV! They are also very thin, you can wear white underwear and still see the lines. If you're buying for one-time use, they'll fit, but don't buy shorts from your child's wardrobe.
