Inside the Coconuts: off white, piqué and a quiet cut

Coconuts · The Piqués

Nov 3, 2026·

The Coconuts is a straightforward idea: a piqué short in off white. No logo, no unnecessary seams, nothing that dates quickly.

How to wear it

Wear it with a white tee and sneakers for the weekend, or a shirt and knit for something more considered.

Fit

The shape is familiar and that is deliberate. It reads as a short you have owned for years, not one bought last week.

Fabric

Look closely and the weave is even. piqué of this quality keeps its shape after repeated washing, which is where most shorts fail.

Care

Thirty degrees, mild detergent, no fabric softener. The latter coats the fibres and dulls off white over time.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Consider it if you want piqué without the price of a designer label, and a cut that will not look dated in two years.
