Trapstar Chenille Decoded Short Set Grey

The Trapstar Chenille Decoded Short Set Grey is the most expensive-feeling set on this page, because the lettering is embroidered rather than printed. Grey marl top and matching shorts.

Chenille is why this one costs more

Chenille is raised, fluffy embroidery. Run a hand across the lettering and it has genuine depth to it. Every printed set in this collection sits flat on the fabric. This one does not, and that single difference is what separates the pieces Trapstar invests in from the ones it produces at volume.

Grey shows the texture best

On black, raised embroidery disappears into the colour and you lose the effect you paid for. Grey marl catches light across the pile, so the chenille reads as texture from a distance rather than just as lettering. If the embroidery is the reason you are buying, buy it in grey.

Fit and sizing

• Two-piece, top and shorts together
• True to size, so take your usual
• Shorts above the knee on a drawcord waist
• Boxy top
• Available in S, M, L and XL

Wearing it

Grey marl takes any trainer. Keep the rest plain so the texture is the thing people notice, because a competing graphic wastes the money you spent on the embroidery.

Care, and chenille is unforgiving

• Cold wash at 30 degrees, inside out, every single time
• Never tumble dry, because heat flattens the chenille pile permanently and it does not recover
• Hang dry and let the pile lift back on its own
• No fabric softener, which mats raised lettering
• Keep it away from towels, as grey marl attracts lint
