A letter from Sylvie & June

A note from us, on the top that sits right between a T-shirt and a blouse.

Not a T-shirt, not a fussy blouse. The polo is the top we'd put in your hands first this spring.

Why one easy top, with a collar, a print and a cotton and linen weave, is what we'd reach for on the warm, in-between days of an Australian spring.

A collar, a print and a relaxed fit: the top we reach for first this spring.

Dear friend,

We started Sylvie & June with one simple belief: every woman should feel attractive, self-assured and completely at ease in what she wears. Not just one of them. All three, on an ordinary Tuesday.

So we gave ourselves one rule, and we still choose every piece by it:

It has to feel as good as it looks. If it doesn't, it doesn't come in.

Perhaps you know the morning dilemma. A T-shirt feels too casual for lunch with friends. A blouse feels like too much for an ordinary day, needs an iron before you can leave the house, and is too warm by eleven. So you end up in the T-shirt, and feel underdressed the moment you sit down.

And then there's an Australian spring. Fresh in the morning, properly warm by lunch, and humid enough by mid-afternoon that anything synthetic starts to stick.

That's why, of everything in our End of Season Sale, the polo shirt is the top we'd put in your hands first. It has a collar, so it looks like you made an effort. It's cotton and linen, so it stays cool. And it sits right in between: smarter than a T-shirt, easier than a blouse.

Here is why, in six small reasons.

See the polo shirts →

01

It breathes.

The fabric is a cotton and linen blend, light and soft against your skin. Air moves through it, so there's no clammy, synthetic feeling by lunchtime, even when the afternoon turns warmer and stickier than the forecast promised.

"Wore mine out for lunch on a really warm day and was surprised how cool it felt. Usually by the afternoon I'm getting hot and uncomfortable in my tops but not with this one. The fabric feels lovely against my skin too. Very happy with it!"

— Susan, 64, Brisbane

02

Smarter than a T-shirt.

A proper collar and a button front do something a T-shirt never will: they make you look put together without trying. Wear it to a family lunch, to an appointment or out with friends, and you won't feel underdressed for a moment.

Up close: a soft cotton and linen weave, a proper collar and a button front.

"I normally just wear plain tshirts but wanted something a little nicer for going out. Wore this to lunch with my daughter and felt really well dressed without making any effort. The collar makes such a difference. Already had a few compliments too!"

— Helen, 61, Perth

03

Easier than a blouse.

It's cut relaxed, so it skims rather than clings and moves with you when you reach, bend or sit through a long lunch. No tucking in, no fiddling with it all day. You put it on and forget about it.

"Finally a top that doesnt cling around my tummy! It's nice and loose without looking too big. I can bend down, sit comfortably and get on with my day without constantly pulling at it. Wish I'd found these sooner."

— Barbara, 67, Adelaide

04

Straight into the washing machine.

No dry cleaning, no hand washing. If it needs it, a quick iron on low heat is all it takes, and a cotton and linen shirt is meant to look a little relaxed anyway.

"I've washed mine a few times now and it comes out lovely. Just pop it in the machine with my other clothes and hang it up to dry. I gave it a quick iron once but honestly it looks fine without. Cant be bothered with fussy clothes these days haha."

— Lorraine, 63, Geelong

05

Trousers or a skirt, day into evening.

White trousers for the shops, a skirt for lunch out, your good jeans for dinner with the family. It goes from morning to evening without a change, and the print does the dressing up.

"Had mine on with white pants for shopping in the morning then changed into a skirt for dinner with friends. Didn't even need to change my top. The pattern is so pretty and makes a simple outfit look a bit special. Really pleased with this purchase."

— Carol, 59, Gold Coast

06

16 prints, S to 5XL, one price.

Abstract dots and lines, embroidered florals, patchwork, bold stripes, colour blocks and even a dog print. Every shirt is $69.95 in our End of Season Sale, whatever your size from S to 5XL. So you choose the one that makes you smile, not the one that fits the budget.

"Couldn't decide which pattern to get so ended up ordering two haha. Got the floral one and the blue stripes. I'm a size 3XL and it's so nice having the same lovely choices as everyone else. The price was good too. Might have to get another one!"

— Wendy, 66, Bendigo

Why the polo shirts are $69.95 right now

Before the new collection arrives, we're making room with our End of Season Sale. That includes the whole polo shirt collection: every print, every size, $69.95 instead of $214.95.

2 shirts · extra 15% off

Thousands of women now have a piece of Sylvie & June in their wardrobe. Nothing makes us happier than hearing that something we chose became a favourite, the thing you reach for without thinking.

We'd much rather these shirts went out to lunch, on holiday and to the grandkids' than stayed folded in a drawer for 'good'.

So here is our suggestion. Have a look through the prints, pick the one that makes you smile and try it on at home. If it isn't everything we've said, you have 30 days to send it back for your money.

Just don't leave it too long. The warm days are coming, and the sizes are going.

With love,

Sylvie & June
