Okay, so I finally got these belted chino shorts for my little dude, and wow—they’re even cuter in person!

The pastel blue is *chef’s kiss*—so soft and perfect for pairing with his tiny button-downs. The cotton twill fabric? Lightweight but sturdy, and after three washes (because, kids), zero fading or pilling.

Major win: the adjustable waist tabs! My kid’s a string bean, but these fit snug with the inner tabs. The removable striped belt is adorable (though he insists it’s a 'pirate sash').

Cons? The sizing runs big—we sized down. Also, the welt pockets are shallow; his 'treasures' (rocks, mostly) keep falling out. Still, 10/10 for style and durability. TCP never misses!
