Rick Owens DRKSHDW Taupe Temple Berlin Drawstring Sweatpants

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Rick Owens DRKSHDW Taupe Temple Berlin Drawstring Sweatpants carry that underground energy Rick does best—subversive, sculptural, and lived-in from the first wear. Made from heavyweight, organic cotton jersey, they feel both substantial and soft, garment-dyed in a washed taupe (“Flesh”) shade that grounds the look with DRKSHDW’s signature gritty neutrality. Raw-cut, vented cuffs graze the ankles with undone edge, while the dropped inseam channels a grunge-informed silhouette that reads nonchalant, not sloppy.

These sweatpants have ease built into every line: a drawstring waistband adapts to however you want them to rest on your hips, and the roomy, low-slung fit drapes without swallowing. The four roomy pockets—two at front, two at back—invite everything from keys to a phone, no bag necessary. Button fly detail delivers a utilitarian note, amping up the workwear undertones. They merge seamlessly into off-duty, lounge, or layered streetwear mixes—try them under an oversized jacket or shrugged-on zip hoodie for that intentional Rick layering effect, or let the vented ankles highlight a statement boot.

Rick Owens’ DRKSHDW line has always been a mainstay for fashion’s anti-conformists, and these sweatpants underscore why. Think of them as a through-line between Berlin club nights, after-hours hangs, and everyday iconoclasm—effortless, unconcerned with convention, and always pushing the silhouette forward.
