The styles of the button-on shorts differed substantially depending on the age of the child. This also fluctuated chronolgically. Shorts for very young boys, for example, might have elasticized romper styling. Most button-on shorts, however, has normal leg openings. Some button-on shorts looked rather like normal shorts with realtibely small buttons sometijmes in the same color as the shorts. Sometimes there was even a self-belt that hid the buttons. Other button-on shorts for younger boys came with large white buttons, often quite large giving a more juvenile look.
