Denim Tears Shorts Sky Blue

The Denim Tears Shorts Sky Blue are the palest colourway in the shorts range and the most seasonal. Soft washed blue with the wreath motif sitting clearly on top.

A summer pair, honestly

These are not a year-round short. Sky blue works from May to September and looks out of place either side of it. That is not a criticism, it is just worth knowing before you buy, because the black and grey pairs will get worn twice as often.

What the pale ground does to the motif

Contrast is high, so the wreath is the first thing anyone sees. On a colour this light the design cannot hide, which suits a motif Tremaine Emory intended to be looked at rather than glanced past.

Fit and sizing

• Relaxed through the thigh, finishing above the knee
• Drawcord elasticated waist
• True to size, so take your usual
• Available in S, M, L and XL

What to wear on top

White and cream work. Black works if you want hard contrast. Grey does not, because the two soft tones sit too close and the outfit loses definition. Avoid another pale blue anywhere.

Keeping a pale pair clean

• Cold wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with light colours only
• Never in a load with dark denim, as indigo transfers onto pale fabric
• Treat marks quickly rather than leaving them to set
• Hang dry out of direct sunlight, and skip the fabric softener
