Helas Classic Denim Shorts

Boasting a throwback vibe that pays homage to nostalgic ‘80s and ‘90s skate styling, these clear blue Classic Denim Shorts from Hélas arrive as a welcomed addition to the brand’s latest seasonal release. Made from 100% cotton and with a regular fitting in mind, these above-the-knee street shorts are styled with a semi-elasticated waistband, a secure button fastening above a solid YKK zipper and with reinforced double-track stitching across high-stress areas for added longevity and maximized durability. Two curve-open pockets can be found either side of the waistband, whilst a smaller well-concealed stash pocket offers ample space to keep loose items tucked away securely when not in use. The reverse features a single button-down welt-style pocket branded with a sleek woven tab, whilst playful ‘Hélas’ embroidered white-stitch scripture above the left-cuff helps to sign these old-school inspired shorts off with their own eclectic energy.

Addressing SS20 with a nod towards skate’s old-school heritage, highly-energised Hélas are a brand dedicated to reviving all-things skate and street-led. Inspired by abstract art, subcultural nostalgia and by skate’s colourful past, the Paris-based crew once again pump a relentless energy into the change in seasons with fresh new colourways, bold block-tone prints and a number of reworked, umbrella-branded staples.
