FLORENCE & MAY · WARDROBE NOTES

When short sleeves feel too short, try the tee that covers a little more.

Calvera brings together longer half sleeves, soft, breathable fabric and a relaxed fit — for the days you want upper arm coverage without a long-sleeved top.

Calvera in Gray: a simple round neck, longer half sleeves and an easy, relaxed shape.

It is a warm morning. Your jeans are ready. You reach for a T-shirt, put it on, and notice where the sleeves finish. A little higher than you would like.

You could change into long sleeves. You could put a cardigan over the top. But you were only trying to get dressed for coffee, a few errands, perhaps lunch with a friend.

If you prefer to cover the tops of your arms, a traditional short sleeve may leave you wanting more. A long sleeve gives you coverage, but can feel like more fabric than you want on a warm day.

Calvera takes a straightforward approach: longer half sleeves that cover the upper arms, with the ease of an everyday T-shirt.

You would like a simple tee with a little more sleeve.

Here is how those sleeve choices can feel when you are getting dressed.

The choice between short sleeves and long sleeves misses something.

The right sleeve is a personal preference. Calvera gives you an option between a short sleeve that stops too soon and a long sleeve that feels like too much.

THE SLEEVE DILEMMA

Short sleeves can finish higher than you prefer.

Long sleeves can feel like more fabric than you want.

A cardigan gives coverage, but adds another layer.

THE CALVERA APPROACH

Longer half sleeves cover the upper arms.

Soft, lightweight, breathable fabric.

A relaxed everyday tee you can wear on its own.

Longer half sleeves that cover the upper arms.

The sleeve length is the detail to notice first. Calvera covers the tops of your arms, so you can wear the tee on its own with the coverage already there.

Its fabric is soft, light and breathable. You get a little more sleeve in a simple everyday top.

A closer look at the half sleeve and its easy shape through the upper arm.

The sleeve length is only the beginning.

A longer sleeve would not mean much if the rest of the T-shirt felt tight. Calvera has a relaxed shape that skims over the bust and waist, with room through the arms.

It sits gently rather than pulling close. The classic round neck keeps the look simple, with room for your favourite necklace if you like.

The relaxed fit sits gently over the body, with an easy everyday feel.

Wear it with the clothes already in your wardrobe.

For morning errands, pair it with jeans and your usual flats. For a relaxed afternoon, try shorts and sandals. Add a light cardigan when you want another layer as the day cools.

The tee itself already covers your upper arms. The cardigan becomes something you choose for the weather.

Calvera comes in seven colours: Gray, White, Blue, Pink, Royal Blue, Yellow Green and Black. Choose the one that goes with the trousers you wear most, or bring a little colour into your everyday rotation.
