The Fear of God Essentials SS23 Sweatshort Plum brings laid-back luxury into daily dressing. Inspired by Jerry Lorenzo’s Southern-California ease, the short balances elevated fabric with democratic styling. Its dusty plum tone nods to sun-faded athletic gear, making every pair feel lived-in from day one.
Fear of God Essentials SS23 Sweatshort Plum Fit & Fabric
Cut from dense 365-gram loop-back cotton, the short drapes with weight yet feels breathable. Brushed loops absorb moisture while resisting cling. The relaxed thigh and seven-inch inseam echo vintage practice trunks, but a subtle taper refines silhouette. An encased elastic waistband partners with the thick round draw-cord for reliable security. High-count stitching at pocket edges prevents blow-outs, even after seasons of wear and wash.
Comfort-First Engineering
Essentials engineers comfort at the fiber level. Air-spun yarn delivers softness without synthetic fluff. Flat-lock seams remove interior ridges that can chafe during long commutes or workouts. Raw edges inside each leg opening reduce bulk, letting air circulate on humid days. Every component is garment-dyed post-construction, locking color while allowing unique pigment highs and lows that amplify depth.
Performance in Motion
A cotton gusset extends through the crotch, supporting full lateral movement during lunges or skate pushes. The weighty knit resists wind flutter, so fabric never clings awkwardly. Strategic paneling distributes stress evenly, shedding tension points that can rip lesser shorts. Whether jumping curbs or stretching on studio mats, wearers enjoy unimpaired mobility.
Details That Matter
An understated rubberized “ESSENTIALS” logo sits left thigh, tonal and lightly reflective. Bar-tacks reinforce side-entry pockets sized to cradle larger phones. The right back patch pocket secures a cardholder. Double-needle hems stay flat after countless laundries. Reinforced gusseting adds stride room for pick-up hoops or a sprint to the subway.
Versatile Styling Ideas
Pair the short with the matching plum hoodie for monochrome confidence. Contrast with an ivory waffle-knit tank to highlight the muted violet base. Slide on minimalist leather trainers for gallery visits, or nylon slides for poolside lounging. Add chunky silver jewelry to shift the mood from sport to street. The neutral plum hue integrates easily with beige, olive or charcoal.
Care and Longevity
Machine-wash cold with similar tones. Invert to preserve flocked branding. Line-dry or tumble low to avoid shrinkage. The colorfast reactive dye resists fading yet will gradually soften, enhancing vintage character. Avoid bleach or optical brighteners, which strip natural oils from the cotton. With considerate care, the cloth grows more supple each season, rewarding regular rotation.
