Most of a wardrobe is repetition: the same shapes, the same tones. The Avenues in light blue is a good repeat — linen, simple, and easy to replace.
Care
Air it between wears and it needs washing far less often. Spot-clean marks with a damp cloth before they set.
Fabric
Nothing about the cloth is technical or coated. It is linen, finished plainly, and it will look better after a dozen washes than on day one.
How to wear it
With a navy knit and leather shoes it reads smart; with a sweatshirt and canvas trainers it reads weekend. Both are correct.
Fit
The fit is clean rather than tight: space to move, enough shape to look deliberate. The waistband sits where it should and does not ride up.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
Not exciting, not trying to be. Useful is the better compliment anyway.
