What is Essentials kidswear?

Fear of God Essentials is the everyday line of the Los Angeles label Fear of God, known for soft, oversized basics in calm colours. The kids' range is a smaller version of exactly that. There is no separate children's design language with cartoon prints or bright primary colours. Instead, kids get the same boxy hoodie, the same relaxed shorts and the same Heather greys and Oatmeal tones as their parents. That is a big part of the appeal. Essentials kids pieces look grown up without being stiff, and they are comfortable enough for a full day of school, sports and playing outside.

Popular Essentials kids pieces

The kids' collection is compact, so new arrivals tend to go quickly. These are the pieces our customers choose most often:

• Essentials Light Heather Kids: a fleece set in soft light grey melange that goes with everything
• Essentials Heather Grey Kids: a set in classic grey, easy to combine and forgiving in daily wear
• Essentials Black White Kids: a black set with white branding for a sharp, sporty look
• Stretch Limo Summer Set Kids: a deep, almost black tee and shorts set
• Light Oatmeal Summer Set Kids and Dark Oatmeal Summer Set Kids: the famous beige tones in kids' sizes
• Iron 1977 Summer Set Kids: dark grey with the large 1977 print, just like the adult version

Matching outfits for parent and child

Because the kids' line uses the same colourways as the adult collection, it is easy to put together a matching look. A parent in the Light Oatmeal set and a child in the Light Oatmeal Summer Set Kids, or both in Iron 1977: it works for family photos, birthdays and holidays. You will find the adult versions of these colours in the Fear of God Essentials summer collection and the hoodies and full sets in the Fear of God Essentials winter collection.

Summer and winter for kids

For warm days, the kids' summer sets combine a thick T-shirt with matching shorts. The cotton jersey is heavy enough not to lose its shape after a few washes, and the shorts have an elastic waistband with drawcord, so kids can pull them on and off themselves. For colder days, the Heather and Black White sets offer the cosy fleece that Essentials is known for. Layer a hoodie over a tee in autumn, and add a warm jacket on top when winter starts.

Essentials kids sizing

Every Essentials kids product is a complete set, so you choose one size for top and bottom together. Kids' sizes are usually based on age or height. Always check the size information on the product page, because the exact range can differ per item. Some general advice that most parents find helpful:

• Pick the size that matches your child's current age or height for the intended relaxed Essentials fit
• Children grow fast, so many parents choose one size up to get more than one season out of a piece
• Because the cut is already wide, going up a size gives extra room without looking like a different garment
• The shorts and pants have an elastic waist with drawcord, so a slightly larger size can be tightened

Not sure? Send us your child's height and current size, or come to our store in Tilburg to try it on.

Durability and care

Kids are not careful with their clothes, and they don't need to be. The Essentials fleece and jersey are thick and hold up well to school, the playground and the football field. To keep the colours and logos looking good, wash inside out at 30 degrees with similar colours, skip the tumble dryer and let the pieces dry flat. Light colours like Light Oatmeal show stains sooner, so for daily school wear many parents pick a darker tone like Stretch Limo or Heather Grey.

Complete the look

An Essentials set looks best with a clean pair of sneakers. Grey and beige tones match perfectly with a kids' pair of New Balance 9060, while darker sets look sharp with white leather sneakers. For older kids who want to explore more labels, take a look at our hoodies and sweaters and T-shirts.
