The Fear Of God Essentials Picks We’re Adding To Our Wish List

Words by Emma Pradella

“What does essential mean today?” is a question that’s been swirling around long before the pandemic. But over the past couple of years, few brands have come up with an answer to rival Fear of God Essentials.

Since its inception as a spin-off of Mr Jerry Lorenzo’s critically acclaimed Fear of God brand, Essentials has consistently delivered indisputably cool, form-meets-function designs that have amassed a huge cult following and, inevitably, flown off our virtual shelves. But what makes them so in-demand? The plush materials, the relaxed fits, the muted shades or the minimal branding? Just see for yourself below – here are eight Fear of God Essentials picks available right now that the MR PORTER team is adding to our Wish Lists.

01.

The field jacket

Sweats aren’t the only things Mr Jerry Lorenzo does well – Fear of God Essentials’ smart-casual designs are just as good. Wide utility pockets nod to workwear, and details like the Velcro cuffs and the zip fastening add a practical touch.

02.

The neutral gilet

Understated in design and relatively branding-free (save for the subtle, rubberised logo at the back of the neck), Fear of God Essentials’ is the kind of gilet that works just as well over a hoodie as it does layered beneath a blazer. The storm flap gives it utilitarian appeal.

03.

The camo fleece

If you’re anything like us, you’ll appreciate a well-made fleece. Fear of God Essentials’ is cut in a relaxed profile and has a thick, plush handle that’s great for exploring outdoor trails and city streets.

04.

The easy hoodie

If you wish to pledge your allegiance to the brand, but want an alternative to the popular “ESSENTIALS” logo, then consider this hoodie – it’s printed with Lorenzo’s birth year instead.

05.

The hybrid sweatshirt

Sitting somewhere in-between a sweatshirt and a windbreaker, Fear of God Essentials’ zip-up is guarantee to work double time in your wardrobe. Leave it open over a plain tank top or style it out in lieu of a polo shirt.

06.

The staple polo

At MR PORTER, we’re firm believers that polo shirts are the core of any self respecting summer wardrobe. As such, we wouldn’t think twice about investing in Fear of God Essentials’ versatile beige style. The subtle branding and relaxed cut are sure to look the part at any barbecue or garden party you have coming up.

07.

The nylon sweatpants

Nylon sweats seem to be all the rage – don’t mind if we suggest this pair by Fear Of God Essentials. Aptly named Storm, they’re conveniently made from waterproof nylon that’ll have you ready for spells of unpredictable weather.

08.

The short shorts

How short is too short? You’ll be pleased to hear that this summer there are no rules on that front, at least according to Fear of God Essentials. Cut from Taslan nylon, these running-inspired shorts are just as comfortable for a morning workout as they are for whatever you have planned afterwards.
