Essentials Black Sweat Short

Black is the most searched Essentials colour by a distance. It holds the rubberised logo at the sharpest contrast and goes with everything. Heavyweight fleece cut short rather than lightweight training shorts, so they hang properly instead of riding up. The palette is the point: Essentials stays within a narrow band of muted tones, which is why pieces layer with each other so easily.

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.
