‘Simplicity is the Keynote of’ — Coco Chanel Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.” Coco Chanel reportedly offered this to Harper’s Bazaar around 1923 to explain why her clothes worked: a doctrine of expensive simplicity, the luxury hidden in what she left out rather than piled on. Reaching plainness took more discipline than ornament ever did. The hardest thing to achieve, in dress or anything, is the confidence to stop.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
