Christmas shorts – are they even a thing, we hear you ask? Oh yes – you’ll probably be as surprised as we were by the possibilities. There are kids’, women’s and men’s Christmas shorts in all colours and styles – from Christmas boxer shorts worn beneath clothing to the Christmas PJ shorts that make cosy, comfortable nightwear. You can even buy red Christmas shorts as men’s underwear in a Santa style design, complete with sequinned pouch and a strategically placed white pom pom. Not one to show off to the kids or their grandparents, perhaps. Christmas PJ shorts in women’s sizes aren’t of course the only kind available. There are of course long and short Christmas PJs for all the family. But why not shine the spotlight on mum for a while?

To make sure you’re completely covered for beachwear, we’ve also included a section on Christmas bathers. Yep, a Christmas swimsuit is also a thing!

Our search for men’s Christmas PJ shorts turned up so few options that we had to get a bit more creative when it comes to men’s short Christmas PJs. We love to solve a problem, though, so our suggestion is to search for men’s Christmas pyjama shorts in red. If you want shorts to wear outdoors during summer, a simple search for red shorts reveals so mnay options! The best ways to find more choices is to look for red men’s board shorts or red shorts for women. Another option is to go for Santa Cruz branded shorts – a subtle yet clever twist on the festive theme.

Where better to start than with what you put on first? Men’s Christmas boxer shorts are a great way to bring the festive spirit into his life – even if he tends to be a bit ‘bah humbug’ about the whole thing. Red women’s shorts can also be worn as Christmas themed shorts, and come in all shapes, styles and sizes. There are cycling shorts, tight shorts, loose shorts, long shorts and tiny shorts. You could also opt for football style shorts or an athletic stretch skirt.

To be honest he might even like to wear them overnight as well, ready to hit the waves first thing in the morning. Assuming they’re dry by the time he retires to bed, that is. Green, for instance, would also do as Christmas pajama shorts in men’s styles and sizes. The big bonus being that can also wear these all year round instead of just during December. From men’s and women’s Christmas boxer shorts or christmas Disney shorts for kids to Christmas beachwear for everyone, there are plenty of options to brighten up those summer days even more. The best thing about festive clothing is that you can treat yourself to some, or buy it as Christmas gifts for other people. Given that it’s suitable throughout December right until the twelfth night on 5th January, you get a good 36 days’ wear per year out of it too. If its worn unseen beneath clothing or as nightwear, there’s no reason why you couldn’t wear it during any season.
