What to know about Fear of God
Fear of God is an American label founded in Los Angeles in 2013 by Jerry Lorenzo, who started it with roughly $14,000 after working in artist and athlete management. It sits between streetwear and luxury: oversized hoodies and sweatshirts, long-line tees, relaxed tailoring, leather outerwear and drawstring trousers in muted neutrals, often in heavy Italian-milled fabrics. Collections are released as numbered chapters rather than seasonally. The lower-priced Essentials diffusion line drives volume, and the brand has extended into sportswear through work with adidas.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | runs large | very oversized, cocooning, heavy drop shoulder | Size down one and consider two if you dislike an exaggerated silhouette. |
| Jackets | runs large | oversized shells and bombers with heavy drop shoulders | Size down one; the cut already leaves room for layering. |
| Jeans & denim | slightly large | relaxed straight to loose vintage-inspired cut | Order your true waist and size down only if you prefer a cleaner, less slouchy leg. |
| Shirts & overshirts | runs large | relaxed camp-collar and overshirt cuts with wide armholes | Take one size down unless you plan to layer underneath. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | runs large | boxy with wide, dropped shoulders | Size down one for a normal fit; stay true to size only if you want the full boxy drape. |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | relaxed through the seat and thigh, often with elastic or drawcord waist | Stick close to your waist size but expect a roomy leg and plan on hemming. |
