1017 ALYX 9SM Cotton-blend shorts

1017 ALYX 9SM's utilitarian approach to luxury is captured in these shorts. The design reinterprets a classic silhouette with an industrial edge, defined by the brand's signature rollercoaster buckle. This piece provides a strong foundation for a variety of modern, urbane ensembles.

The art of the detail

Presented in a versatile black hue, these shorts are tailored with a defined, structured shape. The design features a thoughtful construction with clean lines and a front closure that ensures a smooth profile. Crafted from a cotton-based fabric, the material offers both durability and comfort for day-long wear. The silhouette is cinched with a detachable belt, distinguished by the iconic, industrial-inspired metal buckle that has become a hallmark of the brand’s design philosophy, adding a note of contemporary hardware to the otherwise minimal piece.

How to wear

Style these shorts with a crisp poplin shirt and leather loafers for appointments in the city. The structured silhouette also pairs well with a fine-gauge knit and minimalist sneakers, creating a polished yet relaxed look suitable for gallery visits or weekend brunch. For an evening occasion, combine them with a fluid silk top and heeled sandals. An understated clutch will complete an ensemble that is both modern and refined, perfect for dinner reservations or attending a contemporary art opening.
