The Los Angeles Apparel Shorts Collection is an expansive lineup of garment styles created by the brand with the summertime in mind, but also varying fashion preferences to work well for an array of needs. The line embraces a number of different cuts that includes sweat shorts crafted out of 14-ounce fleece in piece-dyed, garment-dyed and pigment-dyed options. The Pro Mesh Gym Shorts take a decidedly retro and professional approach with a generous fit inspired by the styles worn by athletes on the court.
The Los Angeles Apparel Shorts Collection also features a number of retro, Y2K era styles including the Heavy Dazzle Athletic Shorts, the Denim Baggy Long Shorts and the Baggy Denim Shorts. The various styles are priced starting at $36.
