The Cosmics is a straightforward idea: a stretch chino short in dark blue. 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.
Fabric
Look closely and the weave is even. stretch chino of this quality keeps its shape after repeated washing, which is where most shorts fail.
Fit
The shape is familiar and that is deliberate. It reads as a short you have owned for years, not one bought last week.
Care
Thirty degrees, mild detergent, no fabric softener. The latter coats the fibres and dulls dark blue 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 stretch chino without the price of a designer label, and a cut that will not look dated in two years.
