These black Rick Owens cotton blend velvet knee-length shorts are the answer to the following question. What's black, ultra-comfortable and wants to sit at the waist? Featuring an elasticated waistband, draped front and asymmetric hemline, these knee-length shorts have been crafted in Italy from a black cotton-blend velvet fabric for the brand's AW 16 collection which was titled 'Mastodon' after the designer's concern about environmental change. We'll be wearing our Rick Owens shorts with turtle neck sweater and Balenciaga 'Apron' boots for a moody work look.
