Breeze Shorts for KIDS & TEENS
Shop sales are in British Pounds CURRENCY CONVERSION
NEW!
Party, park, picnic or playdate, the Breeze Shorts (for kids and teens) are a perfect addition to their busy days. Featuring an elasticated waistband making them easy to slip on and off, handy side pockets for storing their secret stash of treats and a convenient back pocket because extra pockets mean extra places to hide extra things.
Team their Breeze Shorts with a Strip Tee or a Kite Fold Tee and trainers to keep things cool. But when the sun goes in, just pop on a Hug Hoodie because we all know kids’ legs don’t feel cold [disbelief flushed face emoji].
Also comes in ADULT SIZES because twinning is winning and really rather cute.
Fabric recommendations
Breeze Shorts look great in both woven and knit fabrics, just bear in mind fabrics that are too thick will be bulky at the gathered waist.
Consider…
Woven: Linen, cotton, cotton blends, flannel, chambray, double gauze, seersucker.
Knit: French Terry, sweatshirting, terry towelling, ponte, jersey.
