A closer look at the Avenues in light blue

A short does not need to be complicated to be useful. The Avenues proves it — cotton, light blue, and a cut that stays out of the way.

Fabric

The fabric is cotton with a slight texture. Under daylight it reads light blue; indoors it goes a shade deeper, which is typical of good dyeing.

Fit

The cut is regular. Room through the thigh, a straight fall, relaxed without looking oversized. Between sizes, take the smaller one.

How to wear it

Pair it simply. A knit polo and suede shoes is enough. Avoid a second pattern — the Avenues looks best when everything else is calm.

Care

Wash with similar tones for the first few cycles. cotton can release a little dye; after that it settles.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Simple, well made, easy to live with. That is the whole argument.
