ARMEDANGELS TIM VELVET RED: the polo that is smarter than a sweater, but more relaxed than a shirt
There are those garments that sit exactly between smart and casual. And that is often ideal. The ARMEDANGELS TIM VELVET RED is a thin-knit long-sleeved polo, made from 100% organic cotton. Not a stiff shirt, not an ordinary sweater, but a great middle ground for days when you want to look well-groomed without it having to be all so official.
The VELVET RED color is deep, warm, and chic. A beautiful burgundy hue that immediately looks a bit richer than a standard basic. With jeans, this polo feels nice and casual. With chinos or smart trousers, it immediately looks a bit more dressed up. Exactly the kind of item you don't have to think too much about in the morning.
Why you want this polo
The TIM is made of 100% organic cotton and therefore feels pleasant on the skin. The fabric is thin-knit, making it look just a bit more refined than an ordinary cotton long-sleeve. The collar and buttons give it that classic polo look, but the long sleeves and knitted material make it feel more like a light sweater.
What I love about items like this is that they immediately solve a clothing problem. Too smart for a T-shirt? Don't feel like wearing a shirt? A sweater too sporty? Then this is your answer. The TIM is neat, but not overdressed. Classic, but not boring.
The subtle logo embroidery on the chest and the fine knit structure make it nicely understated. No busy print, no big logo, just a good polo with a luxurious look.
Fit & styling
The ARMEDANGELS TIM has a slim fit. It therefore falls a bit closer to the body than an ordinary straight sweater. If you like a fitted, groomed look, you can usually choose your normal size. If you prefer your sweaters a bit looser or if you are between two sizes, a size larger may be more comfortable.
Wear it with dark jeans for a calm, modern look. Or combine it with chinos when you want to be just a bit more dressed up. This polo also works well under a jacket, precisely because it doesn't form a thick, messy layer.
The velvet red color combines beautifully with dark blue, black, gray, denim, sand, brown, and ecru. With a white T-shirt underneath, it gets a fresh, casual layered look. Without an extra layer, it looks nice, clean, and dressed.
Material & wash instructions
This polo is made of 100% organic cotton and is GOTS and Fairtrade certified. Organic cotton is breathable, strong, and kind to the skin. Because the TIM is thin-knit, it is better to treat it a bit more carefully than an ordinary sweater.
Wash the polo inside out at a low temperature and do not use too much detergent. Do not overfill the washing machine so that the garment can rinse properly and streaks or wear are less likely to occur.
Take it out of the machine immediately after washing, gently pull it into shape, and let it air dry. Preferably do not tumble dry, as organic cotton usually doesn't benefit from that and the fit can change more quickly.
Extra tips can also be found in our washing guide, which you will receive with your purchase.
Sustainable & fair
ARMEDANGELS works with more sustainable materials and certifications such as GOTS and Fairtrade. For this TIM, that means: organic cotton, attention to production, and a garment made to be worn often.
And that is exactly what we at Natur-el think is the intention. Not buying something because it seems nice once, but because you reach for it in your closet time and again. For work, weekend, dinner, birthday, or just an ordinary Tuesday when you still want to look a bit good.
Do not buy if...
Are you looking for a thick, warm winter sweater or a loose, oversized polo? Then the TIM VELVET RED is probably not your match. This is, in fact, a thin-knit, slimmer-fitting sweater with a well-groomed appearance.
But if you are looking for a fine knitted polo made of organic cotton that can be both casual and dressed? Then this is a very good one.
