Fear of God Essentials is Jerry Lorenzo's accessible diffusion line, launched to bring the main Fear of God aesthetic to a broader audience at a more attainable price point. The Essentials Shorts have become one of the line's most consistent silhouettes since the brand's relaunch in 2018, serving as a foundational basic in the modern luxury streetwear wardrobe. The SS22 release continued the brand's commitment to elevated essentials with refined tonal branding and improved fabric quality.

The Black colourway is a clean, all-tonal execution featuring a black cotton jersey body with a matching black elasticised waistband and black drawstrings. The Essentials logo is printed tonally in black on the left leg, with a black rubberised logo patch at the rear waistband, keeping the design subtle and uniform throughout.

Premium 100% cotton jersey construction for soft, breathable everyday wear. High-rise cut with elasticised waistband and drawstring closure for an adjustable, comfortable fit. Tonal Essentials logo printed on the left leg and rubberised logo patch at the rear waistband. Side seam pockets and a single back pocket for practical storage. Relaxed mid-length cut sitting at the knee, true to the Essentials aesthetic.

FitEssentials clothing fits oversized and is unisex. For a standard fit, we recommend sizing down one from your usual size.

The Fear of God Essentials Shorts Black are ideal for anyone building a versatile streetwear wardrobe around tonal, minimalist pieces. They suit both men and women who appreciate the relaxed Essentials silhouette and want a year-round short that layers under hoodies or pairs with tees. The oversized fit and premium cotton handfeel make them as comfortable for lounging as they are for everyday outfits.

Pair these black Essentials Shorts with an oversized Essentials hoodie or tee for a head-to-toe FOG look, or dress them down with a vintage tee and chunky runners like the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14. The tonal black palette works year-round and layers easily under longer outerwear for transitional weather.

The Essentials Shorts sit alongside the Nike Tech Fleece Short, Stüssy Nylon Short, and Represent 247 Short in the elevated streetwear shorts category. Compared to Nike Tech Fleece, the Essentials Shorts offer a softer cotton jersey handfeel and a more relaxed, fashion-forward cut. Against pieces like Stüssy or Carhartt WIP, the Essentials Shorts lean cleaner and more minimalist, with tonal branding rather than bold graphics.

FAQ

Essentials clothing fits oversized and is unisex by design. For a standard, true-to-size fit we recommend sizing down one from your usual size. If you prefer the intended relaxed, oversized look, order your normal size.

The Fear of God Essentials Shorts are constructed from 100% cotton jersey, giving them a soft, breathable handfeel with a slight weight to the fabric. The premium cotton construction holds its shape well while remaining comfortable for everyday wear.

Yes, the Essentials Shorts are designed as a unisex piece. The relaxed, oversized cut works across genders, with sizing running from XS to XL to accommodate a wide range of fits.

Machine wash cold inside out with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang to dry to preserve the fabric and prevent the tonal logo from cracking. Avoid bleach and do not iron directly over the logo print.
