What does “oversized” mean for Essentials?
At Fear of God Essentials, oversized doesn't simply mean an item is larger. The fit is deliberately designed with:
-
wider shoulders
-
a roomier chest
-
a boxy silhouette
This ensures the clothing is comfortable while maintaining a modern, luxurious look. For summer sets, this fit is slightly breezier due to the use of lighter materials, but the cut remains recognizable.

How do Essentials summer sets fit compared to normal?
Compared to regular T-shirts and shorts, Essentials summer sets fit:
-
roomier
-
wider
-
shorter in length for the T-shirt (boxy fit)
The shorts fit relaxed on the thigh and are not tight or sporty. This makes the set look like streetwear and not sportswear.
Difference between T-shirt and shorts in the summer set
Within an Essentials summer set, the fit of both items is coordinated:
-
The T-shirt has a boxy fit with dropped shoulders
-
The shorts fit loose and comfortable, often just above or at the knee
Together, they form a cohesive whole, ensuring the outfit remains balanced—even with an oversized look.
Which size should you choose for an Essentials summer set?
For most people, the same size advice applies as for other Essentials items:
➡️ take one size smaller than normal.
This maintains:
-
the oversized look
-
a neat fit
-
sufficient freedom of movement

Is the oversized fit suitable for everyone?
Yes, but the look varies by body type. People who are slimmer often experience the fit as a bit roomier. Broadly built people get a relaxed, but not too loose look. Taking one size smaller maintains the balance.
