A plain black cotton short is one of the most consistently useful bottoms in a child's warm-weather wardrobe — the piece that works over the widest range of tops, occasions, and activity levels without requiring any styling thought. These unisex kids' cotton shorts from Childsplay are made from 100% cotton in Turkey: a natural-fibre construction that breathes well in warm weather, feels soft against bare legs, and avoids the synthetic-fabric warmth and static that polyester sports shorts can generate during extended wear. The plain, unembellished black design gives them the maximum outfit compatibility in the range — they work under any top and in any setting where shorts are appropriate.

Tagged as nonseasonal, these shorts are designed to work across spring, summer, and the warmer periods of the school year rather than as a purely summer-holiday piece. Sized from 1–2 years through to 11–12 years for boys and girls. Available alongside Navy, Grey, and Pink in the complete Childsplay cotton shorts collection.
