Spring has officially started, but for some parts of the world, warmer weather is only just beginning to set in. As the temperatures get warmer and vitamin D becomes more accessible, a glimmer is returning to our eyes. Summer is coming, and though it’s still officially more than two months away, it’s never too early to start building your warm weather wardrobe. A great pair of shorts are likely one of, if not the, most important pieces of the summer wardrobe, and this time of year they can also be utilized for the highly regarded shorts and hoodie ensemble. Last year, Eric Emanuel’s EE Basic Short exploded on StockX, quickly becoming the most popular shorts silhouette in our catalog, and ahead of this summer season, the brand has released their bottoms in three different camo colorways.

The EE Basic Short is unquestionably Eric Emanuel’s most iconic apparel piece. The brand, named after its founder, manufactures all of their shorts in their home city of New York using materials sourced from the United States. Eric Emanuel’s EE Basic Short is well described by its name. While most colorways are far from minimalistic, the design of the shorts is relatively simple, delivering an often colorful, single-layer polyester-mesh basketball short with pockets. Each pair features the brand’s signature EE logo printed on the left leg, often in colors that contrast with the color of the shorts. 

Eric Emanuel’s most recent pair of EE Basic Shorts were released in three different colorways of a camo that closely resembles a Realtree pattern. For the most part, the camo patterns on all three colors are nearly identical and it’s the different neon colored EE logos that separate them. Whether worn with a sense of irony or not, camo patterns like the ones used for these shorts have grown in popularity over the last few seasons. Now, with warm weather on the horizon, the camo bandwagon has never been easier to get onto. At a retail price of $108, all three camo colorways are well-worth the cost as they’ll likely find themselves a staple in your upcoming late-spring shorts and hoodie outfits, as well as your summer wardrobe.

The incredible popularity of the Eric Emanuel EE Basic Short has not come without good reason. Over the last few years, the brand has released their namesake shorts in nearly every colorway and pattern imaginable. While the brand’s solid colorways are often best-selling, patterns like the EE Monogram print, Snakeskin, and Rug find themselves in high demand as well. Last year, the best selling patterned pair of Eric Emanuel EE Basic Shorts was the EE Monogram Print, which features a luxurious looking print similar to that of a Gucci Monogram. 

For those looking to spice up their summer uniform, the Eric Emanuel EE Basic Short catalog on StockX has a lot to offer. Whether you’re looking for a new go-to short in a color you don’t often see, or you want all eyes on you as you step out in your , there’s something for everyone. Considering the popularity of the shorts last year, you can expect to see them everywhere this year, so make sure you’re not the last person to grab a pair.
