Short Essentials
ESSENTIALS SHORTS: THE MUST-HAVE FOR THE SUNNY DAYS
Created by Jerry Lorenzo with his label Fear of God, the Essentials shorts carry the minimalist look of the Essentials Fear of God line over to the summer wardrobe. From the first rays of sun, they are the most sought-after shorts in streetwear — a basic that has become so iconic that every colourway sells out the moment it goes online. Simple, comfortable, recognisable among a thousand: everything that made the success of Jerry Lorenzo's brands is condensed into these shorts.
SWEAT SHORTS IN THICK COTTON
A direct heir of the Essentials joggers, the sweat shorts take up the same recipe: a dense, quality brushed cotton, an elasticated drawstring waist, a loose cut falling above the knee, and the “Essentials” logo in silicone on the thigh. The details make the difference — deep pockets, tonal drawstring, first-rate finishing — for an effect halfway between sports shorts and a designer piece, faithful to the original imagined in 2018. The comfort of joggers, in a summer version.
THE COLOURS OF THE ESSENTIALS SHORTS
The palette follows the original shades of the collection: Jet Black and the near-black Stretch Limo on the dark side, Light Heather grey, classic marl grey and off-white on the light side, without forgetting the Light and Dark Oatmeal shades, sand beige or Sycamore green. A few new-in editions go for blue or bolder tones — the Black, an absolute classic, remains the safe bet for a first pair. Enough to build a monochrome look or to play with contrasts, depending on the effect you are after — the Essentials shorts lend themselves to both.
WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE?
Like the rest of the range, the shorts run large: stay with your usual size for the loose look of the lookbooks, go down one size for a sharper drape. All the sizing information appears on each product page, along with live stock — a sold-out colourway may come back with the next collection, but the most sought-after ones rarely stay online for long before selling out.
HOW TO WEAR THE ESSENTIALS SHORTS?
At the bottom of a summer look, they team up with a tonal Essentials T-Shirt — the matching tee and shorts are the signature duo of the summer. On top, a simple oversized white tee or a light hoodie for cooler evenings does the job perfectly, and layering a tee with an Essentials hoodie even works in mid-season. On your feet, a pair of white sneakers or a New Balance is enough to finish the look.
IN A SUMMER FULL SET WITH THE MATCHING TEE
The insiders' tip: the Summer Full Set, that two-piece boxed set bringing together the shorts and their matching tee in the same colourway — theEssentials Set , summer version. A set often better value than buying separately, and a guarantee of the full original look intended by Jerry Lorenzo, with no second-guessing.
