Rick Owens Waxed Cargobela Shorts Black

These are the Rick Owens DRKSHDW Waxed Cargobela Shorts in black, a knee-length cargo short with the label's signature low crotch, wide leg and exposed center zipper. Buy them if you want Rick Owens' dark, utilitarian look in a summer piece that still feels heavy and substantial.

They're made from 13oz mediumweight cotton denim that's been overdyed and given a wax finish, so the surface has a subtle sheen and builds its own patina the more you wear it. The waist is elasticated with a long drawstring, and the Bela exposed zip runs down the front with snap details at the bottom. Pockets are everywhere: two slanted front pockets, two side cargo pockets with snap flaps, and two snap-close back pockets.

They're for Rick Owens fans and anyone who likes darker, avant-garde streetwear. Pair them with a long tee or tank and Ramones or Geobaskets for the classic DRKSHDW silhouette, or keep it simple with an all-black outfit and chunky sneakers.

What sets the Cargobela apart from an ordinary cargo short is the shape: the dropped crotch and wide leg give it a draped, sculptural fall, and the waxed denim keeps that shape crisp instead of letting it go soft. Available in Small and Large.
