Description
These Sistine Chapel athletic shorts give Renaissance painting a change of scene. Warm-toned figures fill both legs against a blue ground, with the movement of the artwork carried across a loose, easy silhouette. Quirk pairs the densely detailed print with a simple drawstring waist and practical side pockets.

Wearing your Sistine Chapel athletic shorts
A white cotton tee lets the blue and warm colors stand out; a loose button-down gives the shorts a more dressed feel. The fabric dries quickly, but these are unlined shorts, so choose a separate swim layer if you plan to wear them in water. Pale areas can become sheer when wet.
Print placement can vary at the seams. Follow the care label on your finished pair. Explore more shorts from Quirk for other cuts and prints.
