5 Best Uniform Shorts and Pants for Active Boys
Uniforms are suppose to make our lives as mother's easier, however the Land's End shorts and pants that most US schools have on their uniform list are not doing our boys any good. Not only is the fit awful, the color fades and they come home a wrinkled mess. I have made it my mission to find the best uniform short and pant alternatives for your active boys.
All of my uniform alternatives below are made for active boys so they can easily go from the classroom to the playground in comfort. They have stretch and are made from breathable performance fabrics at multiple price points.
