Fit for purpose

Good material, but they leave a little color on the tshirt. My son wore these to school and his white polo was blue where the tshirt tucked into the shorts. It came off in the wash though.

Comfy, soft, pull up shorts

Yes, I recommend this

These are lovely shorts, well made, excellent value, lovely colour and soft jersey material .However, I was really looking for a much thinner material for this very hot weather and they are readily available for girls but much more difficult to find for boys. Perhaps next summer M&S might sell some?

Too big

Very nice shorts but sadly came up too big, I can't be bothered sending them back so they won't be used this summer. Better too big than too small I can use them next year.

Massive sizing.

My little boy is very tall for his age and I usually size up. M&S seems to have changed children’s sizing because everything fits like sacks these days. It transpires we have to go up to 2 sizes down in bottoms, with additional purchases which is decidedly suboptimal. T-shirts are super wide, therefore unusable. Please go back to the normal sizing M&S.

Comfortable boys summer shorts

Yes, I recommend this

Bought for my 7 year old grandson who is growing apace. Bought a bigger size to accommodate his rapid height growth. The shorts are soft cotton fabric and are not abrasive on his skin. They have a drawstring so the waist can be adjusted and come in a variety of colours so can be mixed and matched with a wide selection of tee-shirts. They have washed and tumble dried well with little/no shrinkage, so think they will a durable and very useful addition to his summer wardrobe.
