Girl's Cotton Cartwheel Shorts | Youth Size 4 to 16

Frequently Asked Questions

What styles of girls shorts do you offer?  
We offer two main lengths: classic biker shorts that hit mid-thigh and longer cartwheel shorts that provide extra coverage. Both fall under the category of girls biker shorts and are designed for comfort, modesty, and movement—making them ideal for everything from school to sports.

Are these considered girls athletic shorts?  
Yes, especially for low- to moderate-impact activities. While they’re not made with technical moisture-wicking fabric like competitive running gear, their soft cotton blend and stretchy fit make them excellent for gym class, dance, playground time, or casual workouts. Many parents choose them as girls gym shorts or girls workout shorts because they’re breathable and non-restrictive.

Can my daughter wear these as volleyball shorts for girls?  
They can work for recreational or practice settings where uniforms aren’t strictly enforced. However, official volleyball shorts are typically made from performance polyester blends with built-in liners. Our cotton biker shorts offer more coverage and a modest silhouette, which some families prefer for school-based or beginner-level play—but for competitive teams, regulation gear may be required.

Are these suitable as girls uniform shorts?  
Many schools with flexible dress codes accept these as girls uniform shorts, especially in solid, neutral colors like black. The high-waisted design and knee-grazing length meet modesty standards at numerous institutions. Always check your school’s specific guidelines, but these shorts are a popular choice for daily wear where comfort and coverage are priorities.

Do you carry kids girls shorts black?  
Yes! Black is one of our best-selling colors. Our kids girls shorts black option is versatile, hides everyday wear, and pairs easily with any top—making it a staple for school, travel, or active days.

What’s the difference between biker shorts and cartwheel shorts?  
Biker shorts typically end mid-thigh and are ideal for layering or warmer weather. Cartwheel shorts are slightly longer—often hitting just above the knee—and provide extra coverage for gymnastics, cartwheels, or active play where modesty matters. Both styles feature the same soft cotton-spandex blend and high-waisted fit.

Are these shorts see-through or sheer?  
No. The 95% cotton / 5% spandex fabric is densely knit and fully opaque, even in lighter colors. You can feel confident your child can run, jump, or stretch without transparency issues.

How do these hold up to frequent washing?  
Extremely well. Thanks to reinforced lock stitching and quality fabric, they retain their shape, color, and softness wash after wash. We recommend machine washing cold with like colors and tumble drying on low—or laying flat to dry for maximum longevity.

Why do parents prefer these over synthetic girls running shorts?  
Because cotton is gentle on sensitive skin and less likely to cause irritation or overheating. While performance shorts excel in sweat management, many families prioritize natural comfort for everyday wear—and that’s exactly what our girls shorts deliver.

Can these be worn alone or only as layering pieces?  
Both! The clean design and substantial fabric make them suitable to wear on their own for playdates, errands, or sports. At the same time, their high-waisted fit and smooth silhouette make them ideal as layering shorts under dresses or skirts—offering modesty without bulk.

In short, whether you’re shopping for girl shorts for school, girls bike shorts for sports, or comfortable everyday wear, our cotton biker and cartwheel styles combine practicality, quality, and comfort in a way that keeps customers coming back season after season.
