Amicci Shorts: Warm Weather Without The Compromise

Shorts are usually where a collection gets lazy, cut thin and printed loud because they only get worn for six weeks a year. The Amicci range takes the opposite approach and uses the same heavier jersey as the tracksuit bottoms, so the shorts hold their shape, hang properly and do not turn transparent in bright sun.

The cut sits at a normal length, just above the knee, which is the length that works on most builds and does not date the way an extreme short or a long one does. Drawcords and pockets are finished the same way as the rest of the range, and branding stays small enough that a pair goes with any plain T-shirt.

How To Wear Them

Because the fabric matches the tracksuit range, a pair of shorts and a matching top reads as a summer co-ord rather than two separate items thrown together. That is the easiest way to wear them. Otherwise keep it plain: a white or black tee, a clean trainer, and let the fit do the work.

Take your usual size. The waistband has enough give that between-size buyers can go smaller without regretting it. Wash cold, skip the dryer, and wash them with the matching top so the two pieces fade at the same rate and stay looking like a set. Selected shorts carry 30% off and UK delivery is free.

Colours stay in the same black, grey and navy as the rest of the collection, so a pair works with what you already own rather than needing an outfit built around it. If you want the matching top it sits in the tracksuit range, and buying both together means the two pieces are an exact match rather than a close one.
