Knitted polos and t-shirts for men
This page gathers the two pieces you wear closest to the skin in summer: the Avenue T, our crew neck t-shirt in cotton with a little elastane, and our knitted polos with short sleeves in cotton and long sleeves in cashmere. The Avenue T comes in white, navy, light grey melange and black. Together they cover everything from a hot day in the city to a dinner where a t-shirt would be too little. All of it is designed in Stockholm and made to be worn with the knitwear, pants and shorts on the rest of the site.
Polo or t-shirt?
Choose the t-shirt when it goes under something else: an overshirt, a cardigan, a hoodie or a blazer. A plain crew neck disappears under a layer and lets the knitwear do the talking. Choose the polo when it is the only thing you wear on top. The collar frames the face, and the buttons give you a way to dress it up or down. At a relaxed office, a knitted polo with knitted cotton pants passes where a t-shirt does not. On holiday, the t-shirt wins for the beach and the polo for the evening. If you are buying one of each, take the Avenue T in white and the polo in a darker colour, so you have a light and a dark option for the same pair of pants.
Fit and care
Both are cut with a regular fit and are true to size, so choose the size you usually wear. Cotton t-shirts and cotton polos are washed at 30 degrees with similar colours. Hang the t-shirt to dry and lay the polo flat, so the collar keeps its shape. Cashmere polos are washed on a wool programme or by hand and dried flat. None of them should go in the tumble dryer, which is what shortens a cotton t-shirt and stretches a knitted collar.
