Essentials Hoodies – The Backbone of Modern Streetwear

Background:

Essentials is the diffusion line of Fear of God, a high-end streetwear brand founded by Jerry Lorenzo in 2013. While Fear of God is known for its luxury design and high price point, Lorenzo launched Essentials in 2018 as a more accessible line that still carries the same design DNA — neutral tones, boxy silhouettes, and elevated basics — but at a more affordable price point.

Design & Features:

Essentials hoodies are cut in a relaxed, oversized fit with dropped shoulders and minimal branding. Most come in earth tones (black, grey, taupe, cream), and feature subtle detailing like:

• High-quality heavyweight fleece
• Rib-knit cuffs and hem
• Kangaroo pouch pockets
• A double-layered hood with no drawstrings
• Rubberized “Essentials” logo on the front or back
• Some versions include a reflective logo or 3M print

Cultural Relevance:

Essentials hoodies have become a staple in hip-hop, sports, and fashion scenes. Worn by artists like Kendrick Lamar, athletes, influencers, and even the everyday fashion-forward kid, Essentials has found that sweet spot: high-end streetwear with daily wearability.

What really makes it pop is its minimalist aesthetic that makes a bold statement without needing to shout. Whether you’re dressing it up with designer sneakers or throwing it on with slides, the versatility and comfort make it a wardrobe must-have.

Why It Matters:

Essentials filled a gap in the market: people wanted that Fear of God silhouette and vibe, but didn’t want to pay $800 for a hoodie. With price points around $80–$120, Essentials delivers premium feel without the luxury tax.
