Until what age would you put your son on shorts?
I know different schools have different rules. Was wondering what your thoughts are.

in school, they can't wear them once they're in first grade. at camp, my boys wear shorts until they're 10 or so.

My son who is 8.5 now announced himself, I think 2 summers ago, that he was too old for shorts, and wouldn't wear them since.

At our school it's allowed for the boys through 2nd grade. For summer outside of school I still allow my 9 year old to wear them. He's very immature (in fact he's dev delayed, but I'll probably allow his brother to wear them at this age too), and I don't have any problem with his wearing them. In fact, I got a lot of new shorts at The Children's Place on great sale that are very long but neat looking, not shlumpy or messy or anything. They're quite nice.

My boys even wear shorts (nice ones) with white short sleeve shirts and sandals for Shabbos. Neighbors tell us it's the "South African look." What's funny is that as babies my boys are dressed super fancy for Shabbos--smocked bubbles, hand embroidered outfits, knickers with long socks, the works (well, depending on what I've managed to make or find). But as elem. age boys I go for comfort--I'd rather that they are willing to put on what I have designated as "Shabbos wear" than to have a big argument at this age.
