Rick Owens Denim Shorts

Rick Owens Denim Shorts

Regular denim shorts, dark indigo, button fly and belt loops like a normal pair of jeans just cut short. Contrast stitching runs in a lighter thread along the seams and pockets, pretty standard denim construction, nothing unusual about how it’s put together.

Loose through the leg, sits at a normal above-the-knee length, no exaggerated drop or drape like a lot of the other shorts styles.

Denim Details

Stitching’s the thing to notice here, light thread against dark indigo, traces the pockets and inseams the way regular jeans do. Wash looks raw, deep and even, not much fading or distressing, still fairly stiff based on how the fabric’s holding in the photo.

Fit

Classic shorts shape, belt loops at the waist, pockets angled at the hip. No ballooning or drop-crotch going on, this one’s closer to a normal pair of denim shorts than anything experimental.

Fabric

Raw denim, heavier weight, holds its shape at the waistband without sagging. True indigo tone, not washed out or faded looking.

Wearing Them

A tucked-in Rick Owens Shirt works well with the belt loops and button fly, keeps it looking a bit more put-together. Rick Owens Doc Martens match the classic denim feel better than sneakers would here.

Care

• Wash cold, inside out, first wash alone since raw denim can bleed
• No bleach
• Hang dry to keep the raw finish intact
• Low iron if needed
• Don’t over-wash, raw denim holds up better with less
