Fear of God Essentials Shorts Light Grey

The Fear of God Essentials Shorts Light Grey are the pair that looks least like loungewear, because light grey reads as sportswear rather than as something you slept in. Brushed fleece, above the knee, drawcord waist.

Light grey is the harder colour to wear well

Being straight with you: light grey fleece shows sweat and it shows marks. It also looks better than black in daylight and photographs far better. If these are for holiday and weekends rather than for a warm commute, the trade is worth it.

What it pairs with that black does not

Black shorts anchor an outfit. Light grey lifts it. Against a black tee the contrast does the work with no third colour needed, and against cream it reads tonal and considered. It is the more interesting of the two greys in the range.

Fit and sizing

• Relaxed through the thigh, finishing above the knee
• Elasticated drawcord waist
• Same brushed fleece weight as the joggers
• True to size in the waist, so take your usual
• Available in S, M, L and XL

Care, which matters more on this colour

• Cold wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with light colours only
• Never with dark denim, because indigo transfers onto pale fleece
• Keep them out of loads with towels, as light grey attracts lint
• Hang dry out of direct sun, no tumble drying
