Buy shorts at Mentastore

Ready to buy shorts for the warmer days? At Mentastore you will find streetwear shorts from Fear of God Essentials and Don't Waste Culture, in our store in Tilburg and online. Most Essentials shorts come in a Summer Set: a T-shirt and shorts in the same colour, sold together as one product, so one purchase gives you a complete outfit. Every pair is new, unworn and checked by our own team before it ships.

Streetwear shorts for summer and beyond

Shorts used to be the item you threw on for the beach. In streetwear they have become a deliberate part of an outfit. Sweat shorts in heavy fleece or jersey, with an elastic waistband and a length that ends around the knee, look relaxed but still put together. They work on a hot city day, on holiday, after the gym and at a festival, and on cooler summer evenings you simply add a hoodie on top.

Length is what changes the look most. Shorts that end just above the knee give a clean, classic shape. Longer shorts that fall around or just below the knee create the relaxed silhouette that fits oversized tees and chunky sneakers. Most shorts in this collection sit in that second group.

Fear of God Essentials Summer Sets

The Essentials shorts follow the same idea as the rest of the brand: soft, heavy fabric, an elastic waist with drawcord, side pockets and a small logo. At Mentastore they come in a Summer Set with the matching Essentials tee: both pieces in the same colour, sold as one product in one size. That is why the sets are so popular. You choose a colour and a size, and your summer outfit is done.

Don't Waste Culture shorts

Want a bit more colour? Don't Waste Culture shorts, such as the Jerr in Pink and Navy Blue, bring a fresh tone to a summer outfit. They pair well with a plain white or black T-shirt and give you an alternative to the neutral Essentials colours.

How do the shorts fit? Size advice

Streetwear shorts are usually cut relaxed, with room in the leg and an elastic waistband, which makes sizing easier than with jeans or chinos. Most people take their usual clothing size. Keep in mind that a larger size also makes shorts longer.

A Summer Set comes in one size for both pieces. The Essentials tee is oversized, while the shorts fit closer to a regular size, and the set is designed to look right in your usual size. That is what most people take. Want a less oversized look overall? Go one size down for the whole set. Compare with a pair of shorts you already own: measure the waist flat, the inseam and the width of the leg opening, then check the size chart on the product page. Most shorts here are unisex, so women often take one size smaller than their usual women's size. You can also try them on in our store in Tilburg.

How to style shorts with sneakers

Shorts put your sneakers and socks on full display, so the combination matters. A tonal Summer Set with white crew socks and a clean low sneaker is the easiest win. Chunky runners balance the volume of longer shorts, while slim terrace shoes look good with shorts that end above the knee. On the hottest days, slides are the natural partner: see our Yeezy Slide collection. When the evening gets cooler, throw a hoodie over your tee, and once summer is over, the same colours carry on in our pants.

Care tips for shorts

Wash shorts inside out at 30 degrees with similar colours to keep logos and colours sharp. Wash a Summer Set together so both pieces fade at the same pace. Skip the tumble dryer, as heat can shrink cotton and weaken the elastic. Dry flat or on a rack and always follow the care label.
