For women

1. A zip-up jacket
Perfect for the plane and chilly evenings, the 100% cotton VEXTOWN has a cropped waist and elasticated cuffs. With its ink stripes, it matches any outfit — even when it’s tied around the waist.

2. A denim dress
Easy to slip on, the PAYBOU is a great choice for the city or the beach. Its round neckline sits perfectly over a short-sleeve tee worn underneath or a long-sleeve button-up shirt pulled on top. Did someone say “holiday outfit”?

3. White trousers
If there’s one time of the year when you can wear as much white as you want, it’s summer. At AMV, choose UMULY in 100% cotton with its carrot cut and high elasticated waist. Maximum comfort guaranteed.


For men

1. A denim shirt
There are so many reasons to take a PAYBOU shirt on your holidays. Here are just a few: it’s comfy, it’s perfect for travelling, it can be dressed up or down, it can be tied around your waist during the day … Need we say more?

2. Gingham shorts
Dare to wear the mini VIGY version. With its artichoke or sugared almond gingham print, it looks great with an AMV essential: a short-sleeve white T-shirt. For a perfectly matching outfit, don’t forget to take the oversized shirt that goes with it.

3. A baseball cap
Heading to the sun? We’ve got you covered. With its aqua stripes, the American Vintage ZATYBAY cap is what you need to stay protected from UV rays. But don’t forget your sunblock.

For kids

1. A cotton button-up shirt
With vertical and horizontal apple stripes and an XXL “American Vintage” logo on the breast pocket, the VEXTOWN shirt screams “holidays”. Wondering if there are matching shorts? The answer is yes.

2. Tailored trousers
Who said that only adults could be elegant? No one at AMV. Say hi to the LANOW trousers, designed in smooth and lightweight twill — for a matt and luminous finish.

3. A large-print tee
Holidays are a great time to express yourself. To do so, nothing could be better than an oversized, comfy long-sleeve tee with XXL prints. The FITZVALLEY in 100% cotton is sure to delight “tomato lovers” the world over …
