ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shorts

Shorts are a type of clothing that people wear when it’s hot outside, usually in the summer. They’re like pants but they only go down to your knees or higher and they give you more room to move your legs.

Think of shorts as a mini version of pants that is made for warmer weather. They can be made out of different materials, like cotton or denim, and come in many different colors and styles. Some shorts have pockets so you can carry your toys or candy with you, while others don’t.

People wear shorts when they’re playing outside, going to the beach or park, or just when they’re running errands and want to be comfortable. It’s important to wear sunscreen when you wear shorts because your legs and knees will be exposed to the sun.

Overall, shorts are a fun and casual way to stay comfy and cool during the summer.
