Navy bamboo T-shirt for women
Navy is the dark colour for anyone who finds black a little harsh. It gives the same calm and the same freedom in styling, but with more warmth, and it has a hint of the French wardrobe about it: navy blue, denim and white trainers is a formula that never goes wrong. This version is knitted in bamboo viscose with organic cotton and comes in sizes S to XXL.
The softer dark
Against the face navy does something kinder than black, especially in daylight. It lifts instead of dragging down, and it works beautifully with both gold and silver, with denim in every wash and with the beige and sand coloured tones that fill most wardrobes. If you already have enough black T-shirts, navy is not a repeat but an extension: it opens combinations that black cannot.
The fabric
The T-shirt is made of 70 % bamboo viscose, 25 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose is the smooth, cool fibre that gives the fabric its soft drape and pulls moisture away from the skin, so the top feels fresh all day. The organic cotton gives body, so the fabric does not become thin, and the elastane holds the shape, even after many trips through the washing machine. The properties of the fibre are gathered under benefits of bamboo viscose.
From everyday to dinner
Navy with the smooth drape is one of the few T-shirts that can take on a dinner out without a change of clothes. With jeans it is relaxed, with dark trousers and jewellery it is ready for the evening, and under a beige trench coat it is a pure classic. It is the top you pack first when the suitcase has to cover everything.
Comfortable all year round
The fabric breathes and regulates in both directions: cool against the skin on warm days, without the cold feeling on fresh mornings. That is why the navy top is not a seasonal item but a fixed part of the rotation, on its own in summer and as a soft layer under knitwear and blazers the rest of the year.
Navy together with the other dark colours
A small wardrobe trick: navy and black may well be worn together when the fabrics are different enough, and the smooth bamboo top against a matt black fabric is exactly that kind of match. Navy also works as a bridge between the cool and the warm colours, it goes equally well with grey knitwear and with brown boots, and that makes it the dark top with the most combinations per hanger. That is why many end up with both the black one and the navy one and let the week alternate between them.
Washing
Wash the top inside out at 30 to 40 degrees with your dark clothes, avoid fabric softener, and let it air dry. That way the deep blue colour keeps its saturation, and the fabric its smooth surface. All the advice is set out under washing and care.
Size
The model comes in sizes S to XXL and has a regular fit. The elastane gives natural freedom of movement, so choose your usual size; between two sizes you choose the smaller one for a closer look and the larger one for a looser drape. If you are in doubt about anything else, the answers are found under frequently asked questions.
More sleeves, more colours
The short sleeved navy has long sleeved colleagues in the same quality for the cooler months, see long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt. The rest of the colour palette in short sleeves is found under T-shirts for women.
