Dark grey short-sleeved bamboo t-shirt

Dark grey bamboo T-shirt for women

Dark grey is the colour for you who find black a touch too hard but light grey too light. It stays in the dark end of the wardrobe, where it does the same job as black, only with a softer edge, and it is one of the most overlooked basic colours there is. This version is knitted in bamboo viscose with organic cotton and comes in sizes S to XXL.

Almost black, but friendlier

Against the face dark grey makes a visible difference: where black can bring out shadows, the dark grey settles more calmly against the skin. It works with everything black works with, jeans, black trousers, skirts and blazers, but the whole look becomes less full of contrast and more relaxed. For the all dark look, dark grey with black trousers is the softer version of black on black.

The fabric

The T-shirt is made of 70 % bamboo viscose, 25 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose gives the smooth, heavy drape and the cool feeling against the skin, and the fibre draws moisture away, so it evaporates instead of sitting in the fabric. The cotton gives body, the elastane holds the shape wash after wash.

Fresh for longer

Dry fabric is fresh fabric: when the moisture evaporates instead of staying put, bacteria get poor conditions, and the top stays free of odour longer than a comparable one in pure cotton. It can often be worn an extra day between washes, and every wash saved is good news for both the colour and the fabric. The connection is explained under is bamboo antibacterial.

From office to sofa

Dark grey is one of the few colours that can take a whole day without a change of clothes. Under a blazer in the morning it is discreet and professional, on its own with jeans in the afternoon it is relaxed, and with soft trousers in the evening it is comfortable without looking like nightwear. The smooth fabric does not crease noticeably along the way, so the top looks just as tidy at eight in the evening as at eight in the morning, and that is the kind of everyday quality that decides which tops actually get worn.

The practical dark one

Dark grey is one of the most forgiving colours in everyday life. It shows neither lint like black nor marks like light grey, it can be washed with both dark and medium light laundry, and it does not look faded, even after many washes. This is the top that simply works, week after week, with no upkeep required. More washing advice is under washing and care.

Size

The model comes in sizes S to XXL with a regular fit. Choose your usual size; the elastane gives freedom of movement without tightness, and one size up gives a looser drape over the hips.

Questions and the rest of the grey shades

If you have questions about fit or delivery, the answers are under frequently asked questions. The dark grey has a light grey sister if you want both ends of the grey scale, and if the sleeves need to be long for winter, the same quality is under long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt.
