Denim Tears The Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts 'Black'
The Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts are part of the Denim Tears Cotton Wreath series, the defining line of the brand since founder Tremaine Emory launched Denim Tears in 2019. The Black colourway dropped as part of the FW23 collection in September 2023 with a $175 retail price and quickly became one of the most sought-after Cotton Wreath shorts, sitting alongside the Cotton Wreath Hoodie and Sweatpants as cornerstone pieces of the line.
The Black colourway pairs a deep black loop terry cotton fleece body with the signature Cotton Wreath graphic applied in bright white puff print across the front and back of both thighs. The high-contrast black and white palette keeps the wreath print sharp, graphic, and unmistakable, with the tonal black elastic waistband and black round drawstrings keeping the silhouette clean.
100% cotton loop terry fleece knit construction with a premium soft hand feel. Signature Cotton Wreath graphic applied in hand-finished white puff print across the front and back of both thighs, with each panel individually printed and hand-assembled. Tonal black elastic waistband with black round drawstrings for an adjustable fit. Upper-side slit pockets. Raw edge hem finish, signature to Denim Tears sweatshorts. Regular straight leg fit at knee length.
Fit: Fits true to size with a regular straight leg cut and knee length. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or size up for a looser, more relaxed fit, in line with Denim Tears' official sizing guidance.

The Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts in Black are for anyone looking for a statement streetwear short with genuine cultural weight behind the graphic. They suit fans of Denim Tears, Tremaine Emory's wider creative work, and anyone wanting to complete a Cotton Wreath tracksuit set in the brand's most recognisable colourway. The loop terry cotton fleece build also makes them a proper year-round option, not just a summer piece.
The Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts in Black are designed to match back to the Cotton Wreath Hoodie and Sweatpants in Black for a full tracksuit look, or to wear as a statement piece on their own. Pair with a plain white or black tee, a Denim Tears Cotton Wreath tee, or a Supreme Box Logo, and finish with white Air Force 1s, black Sambas, or a clean low-top silhouette.
The Denim Tears Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts sit alongside pieces like Supreme box logo sweatshorts, Essentials by Fear of God shorts, and Corteiz Alcatraz shorts as premium graphic streetwear sweatshorts. Compared to those, the Cotton Wreath offers more conceptual depth through its reference to Black American history, a loop terry cotton fleece build, and the hand-applied panel-by-panel puff print finish that sets it apart from standard screen printed graphic shorts. The Black colourway in particular is the boldest and most recognisable version of the signature motif.
Yes, the Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts fit true to size with a regular straight leg cut, in line with Denim Tears' official sizing guidance. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or size up for a looser, more relaxed fit.
The Cotton Wreath is the signature motif of Denim Tears, designed by founder Tremaine Emory to reference the history of cotton in America and the Black diaspora. It has appeared across the brand since its launch in 2019 and has become one of the most recognised graphics in contemporary streetwear.
The wreaths are applied using a hand-finished puff print technique, giving each wreath a raised, tactile finish rather than a flat printed surface. Each panel is individually puff printed and hand-assembled, which is one of the defining construction details of the Cotton Wreath line.
Yes, the Cotton Wreath Sweatshorts in Black are designed to match back to the Cotton Wreath Hoodie in Black as a full tracksuit look. You can also pair them with the Cotton Wreath Hoodie in Grey for a contrast fit, or wear them on their own with a plain or graphic tee.
