Also, give the second grader’s parents a break. It’s probably an old pair of shorts she’s grown out of.

What about the mesh top?

The athletic shorts for girls now are shorter than I’d like - especially for my skinny, not tall, but long legged, daughter. But they aren’t all so short that I’m forcing her to wear the really longer basketball ones - just keeping an eye out for the ones with enough of an inseam and an adjustable waist

Yes, this is the thing I'm having to watch. Check the inseam of shorts and it's possible to find longer ones but some of them are insanely short!

Mine likes athletic wear so I get a lot of hers from the men’s section now. She is in a size S in men’s.

What 10 year old is in adult sizes?

I have 10-year-old twin girls and even the XL Lilly Pulitzer girls' dresses are too short for them now so they've moved to women's dresses in XS. They also wear Lululemon, which to my knowledge doesn't have kids' sizes at all (although their sizing is so crazy small that it's not hard to find clothes that fit girls). There are some other items they have in women's XS due to length, whether shorts/pants or tops.

Aren't the shorts below her knees? My 13 yr old boy wears mens small. Some of you need to include height and weight in these posts because my 10 yr old is small, 53 inches and 65 lbs.

My just turned 10 twin girls are almost 5' tall and weigh 85 and 90 pounds. So yeah, they're wearing adult sizes in some things.

I think clothing manufacturers moved to making girls' shorts shorter because it forces you to buy shorts more often. A shorter inseam means they look scandalous faster, so you'll buy them every year. Meanwhile, boys can wear board shorts that come past their knees for several years before they look "too short."

I mean they can ostensibly say "oh that's how girls like them these days" but they are the ones making the clothes -- if girls want super short shorts they can wait to cut off their jeans like the rest of us did. I just want some shorts that won't look like underwear after a few months and might actually offer a smidge more sun protection than a bathing suit at camp so my kid doesn't have to lather herself in sunscreen all day (which she won't, she'll just wind up with burned thighs).

The world isn't a conspiracy theory. Manufacturers make what sells because stock that doesn't sell costs them money.

Haven’t had this issue at all. My daughter is 11 and wears basketball shorts and tops from target or bigger T shirts with her school logo. I just bought some longer jean shorts from Target, too.

I have the opposite problem. DD is almost 10 and is thr height of a 7 year old. Everything clothes wise is very young-looking-- with athleisure being the exception
