Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area and the upper part of the upper legs or more, sometimes extending as far as mid-calf, but not covering the entire length of the leg. They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers (as they are called in British English) or pants (in American English) which cover the entire leg. Baby shorts allow the baby to stay cool and look cute on them. Babies don`t want to be stuck in long pants all year round, either,so baby shorts are a  very good option.Shorts may be either be long shots or in the form of quarter pants or above the knee types.
