Cotton Poplin Tie Neck Trim Detail Collared Shirt

The standout detail is the self-fabric neck tie that drapes from beneath the collar - it can be left to fall loose down the front or knotted for a more structured look, giving the shirt two distinct personalities in one. A cotton-rich blend with lyocell and linen woven in - breathable against the skin and soft enough to wear through a full working day without stiffening or creasing heavily. Slim fit through the body with a curved hem that sits neatly at the hip, neither too cropped nor too long to tuck cleanly into tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. The pointed collar is structured enough to sit flat under a blazer, making the tie detail just as wearable under outerwear as it is on its own. Long sleeves with buttoned cuffs keep the silhouette sharp - the fit through the arm is close without restricting movement. The cotton blend holds its shape through a long day in the office - there's a crispness to it that reads polished, without the rigidity of a purely cotton shirt. The tie neck is the piece's defining feature: worn loose, it softens an otherwise tailored silhouette; tied into a bow, it adds a deliberate, considered note to boardroom dressing. Tucked into wide-leg tailored trousers - as the model wears it here - the curved hem stays put and the slim cut through the waist remains defined. For client meetings or more formal office settings, pair with a sharp blazer in a complementary tone and let the collar and tie detail show above the lapel. Come the evening, the shirt transitions easily: swap the tailored trousers for a sleek midi skirt and the shirt reads entirely differently. A considered addition to a Karen Millen wardrobe that works across the full spectrum of corporate and smart-casual occasions. | Karen Millen Women's Cotton Poplin Tie Neck Trim Detail Collared Shirt in Ivory | Size: 10
