She's a toddler let her enjoy her clothes, and her play and not feel shame for her body.

NP here. This has nothing to do with female empowerment, crazy lady.



A) Long shorts make it possible to slide down a slide when it is too hot on her bare butt/legs.
B) when she flips over on the monkey bars, she wants the freedom to NOT have the other kids to laugh at her when they see her underwear.
c) My kid's church preschools required shorts under dresses, so they are required as part of the dress code. No shame involved.

I live in Florida and buy 4 every summer for the past three years. They do not shrink or wear out like the ones from target / gap / etc and they are now making it through a second round with kid #2!

Buy boy shorts

Bike not nike

I just used boy shorts for my 3 yo daughter. She wears Nike shorts under dresses.

primary or landsend

Sorry didn't see you didn't want jeans, but there are tons of non-jean options listed too

The short ones are ubiquitous but really it's not hard to find bermuda shorts:

Buy boy shorts?

I've been posting in those threads too. Kohl's, Cat and Jack at Target, boy's shorts, Primary (if you have a thinner kid), and second hand. Seriously, this trend must have started recently because I've had really great luck at consignment shops.

I hate, hate the short, tight, super elastic stuff for girls. She doesn't need to look like a mini-teenager, she needs to be able to move and run like a normal toddler!

ugh this is frustrating.

All the bubble shorts are short. We just wear leggings a size smaller. Seems to fit the butt and looks like capris lengthwise
Oshkosh and Gymboree had some nice seersucker type capris I got for dd this season.

Hanna Andersson bike shorts. We wear them under dresses too. They're almost one length. Or capris, if that's what you're looking for. Often on sale.
