Quick answer
Choose nu01 sweatshorts for a classic heather grey look with a cinched waistband and extra pocket space; choose washed sweatshorts for a softer olive french terry feel and a relaxed, beachy style. Both are gender-neutral french terry with raw edges, so the real decision comes down to fabric feel and pocket layout.
Fabric feel and color: heather grey vs washed olive
Both shorts are made from french terry, but the nu01 comes in heather grey while the washed pair comes in olive with a washed finish that looks like it has been rinsed in the waves. The washed treatment gives the olive pair a softer, more broken-in appearance from the start, while the heather grey nu01 has a cleaner, more uniform look. If your child prefers a smooth, classic short, nu01 is the safer pick; if they like a laid-back, slightly faded style, the washed pair wins.
Pocket layout: side and back vs slanted only
The nu01 sweatshorts have side pockets plus a small back pocket, which gives kids a place for small treasures or a tissue. The washed sweatshorts have slanted pockets but no back pocket listed. If your child often carries small items or likes having a back pocket, nu01 is more practical. If they prefer a streamlined short with easy-access slanted pockets, the washed pair is sufficient.
Waistband and adjustability
Both shorts feature an elastic waistband with a drawstring, so you can fine-tune the fit as needed. The nu01 description specifically mentions a cinched waistband that keeps the shorts ready for play, while the washed pair has the same elastic-and-drawstring combo. Neither short lists a full size chart in the supplied facts, so use the available size options and the drawstring to adjust.
Key trade-offs
- Fabric feel: nu01 is heather grey french terry with a clean, uniform look; washed is olive french terry with a softer, broken-in appearance from the wash. If your child is sensitive to texture, the washed pair may feel more comfortable immediately.
- Pocket space: nu01 has side pockets plus a back pocket; washed has slanted pockets only. Choose nu01 if your child likes to carry small items; choose washed for a simpler short.
- Style versatility: Heather grey is neutral and easy to match; washed olive has a distinct beachy vibe. Pick nu01 for everyday outfits; pick washed for a more relaxed, summery look.
