TPCSH2 // BOX PLEAT SHIRT
THE SHIRT RANGE:
The shirt range explores a wardrobe staple, traditional shirts with a twist. Many designers regularly feature a shirt within their seasonal collections combining traditional elements with the themes within the main collection, giving the customer a designer edge to their work to weekend wardrobe.
SHIRT 2 BOX PLEAT SHIRT
This shirt has a straight silhouette. Box pleats across the front panels are simplistically tacked closed over the bust to the waist giving a slight flare at the hem as the pleats open. The traditional elements are a concealed placket in the front, a set in shirt style sleeve, with a delicate bound cuff placket and narrow fitted cuff detail. The collar is a stand only for a clean minimal look.
