Essentials 1977 Shorts Sand Beige

Sand beige is muted enough to read as considered rather than casual, which is the whole Essentials approach. 1977 is Jerry Lorenzo's birth year, and putting it across the chest turned a personal detail into the line's signature graphic. It is the piece most people picture when they search for Essentials. Heavyweight fleece cut short rather than lightweight training shorts, so they hang properly instead of riding up. Stitching runs clean throughout and the fabric holds its shape rather than going limp after a season.

Fit. Relaxed through the thigh with an elasticated drawcord waist, finishing around the knee. More forgiving than the tops, since the drawcord absorbs a fair range within each size.

Styling. Pair with a tee from the same range, either matched or one shade apart.

Care. Cold wash inside out at 30 degrees, gentle cycle, no softener. Air dry. Heat shrinks fleece through the leg and lifts the logo at the edges.
