Navy is the most hardworking colour in a boy's wardrobe, and these 100% cotton gabardine shorts from Childsplay make the most of it. The tightly woven fabric gives a structured, smart finish without any stiffness — perfect for active children who still need to look put-together. Whether you're heading to a summer lunch, a day out, or just want a reliable go-to for the school holidays, these boys' designer shorts deliver consistently.

The clean, pocket-detail silhouette sits between casual and smart-casual, which means they'll work with almost anything already in your child's wardrobe. Navy also makes sibling coordination effortless — or pair with the Green or Beige colourways in this same cut for a versatile seasonal rotation. Made in Turkey from pure cotton, these are a practical, wash-and-wear choice built to last through regular use.
