The Fear of God Essentials line has been an indispensable part of the streetwear scene for years. While the basics remain the same—oversized fits, calm colors, subtle branding—each season brings new drops that suddenly become wildly popular. In this blog, you’ll discover which Essentials items are currently the hottest, which colors are most worn, and how to smartly tap into the most popular fits of the moment.
Essentials T-Shirts are truly a must-have right now
Simple, oversized, and clean: the Essentials T-shirts remain year after year the most worn piece from the collection. Especially colors like Wheat, Dark Oatmeal, and the new Sycamore are extremely popular in 2025. These shades perfectly match the earth-tone trend that is everywhere from sneakers to jackets.
What makes these T-shirts so beloved? The combination of a boxy fit, thick cotton quality, and the minimalist logo creates a look that is both stylish and relaxed. Wear it loose with shorts or layer it under an open hoodie for that effortless vibe.

Essentials Shorts in earth tones are comfortable and stylish
With summer approaching, the demand for Essentials shorts in colors like Desert Taupe, Dark Oatmeal, and Light Oatmeal is skyrocketing. The fit is relaxed, the finish is clean, and thanks to the elastic waistband, they are comfortable without compromising on appearance.
Especially the combination of a tonal set—such as a Wheat tee with Wheat shorts—is currently hugely popular on socials. These matching fits are easy to style, comfortable, and look like you know what you’re doing.

The Sycamore colorway is striking but unique
Where black and gray were previously the standard, 2025 is slowly shifting towards rich green tones. The Sycamore colorway—a deep dark green shade—is now the favorite among fans of clean fits with character. Both the Sycamore T-shirt, shorts, and hoodie are bestsellers and often sold out.
What makes it strong? It’s neutral enough to go with everything but distinctive enough not to be boring. Especially combined with beige or off-white, it immediately gives your outfit more depth.

Hoodies remain relevant, especially tonal and cropped
Although Essentials hoodies have always been loved, this season you especially see a lot of demand for tonal color schemes: hoodies in exactly the same shade as the shorts or T-shirts they are paired with. Additionally, the cropped fit is on the rise. A slightly shorter body combined with oversized sleeves creates a modern silhouette that works well in layers.
Essentials hoodies in colors like Light Oatmeal and Dark Taupe perform extremely well in both looks and comfort.

Wheat, Sycamore, Desert Taupe, Light Oatmeal, and Dark Oatmeal. Choose your items consciously, and you’ll enjoy them for years.
