Amour Vert Review Liv Relaxed V-neck Tee

Back in 2016, I purchased 3 items from Amour Vert to review and for one reason or another I never got around to reviewing them (and to be honest I think it's mostly because I never really wore the two tees and one cotton motorcycle jacket that I purchased). But as shorts and shirt season comes around I think Amour Vert might be a good option for those who like their tees to be on the stretchy and drapey side.

I would definitely classify Amour Vert tees as nice, dressy tees (ie shirts for special occasions).  And that's probably why I don't wear them as much as I do my Grana tees, since my daily tees get dirty (I'm a messy eater and I work in a garage and sometimes get grease stains).  But Amour Vert tees are the kind of tees you wear to a movie night or maybe a casual girls lunch.  They remind me a lot of the brand Splendid (with a price point to match).

I once had a theory v-neck tee in a maroon color but once I got more than one hole in it, I knew it was time for it to go.  So I purchased this Liv relaxed v-neck to replace it (it's no longer available in the maroon color but there's a lot of different colors it comes in now).  I'm wearing a size small, and I would say the sizing on their tees is a bit oversized.  The material is a super soft and stretchy modal/spandex blend (with the modal coming from beech tree fibers).  I think this particular material works really well for the swingy style of the Liv tee.  I did notice that this tee does wrinkle pretty easily so it probably best to hang or fold it after washing (also only wash in cold water and hang dry).  So you can see it's a bit more high maintenance than a regular ole' cotton tee, but at the same time it's a bit more stylish than a regular ole' cotton tee.
