Denim Textured Jacquard Shirt

A jacquard-woven denim fabric gives this shirt its distinctive raised, textural surface - the pattern isn't printed but built into the cloth itself, catching the light differently as it moves. Seamed waist shaping draws the shirt in at the midriff, creating a defined silhouette that sits closer to the body than a standard overshirt without restricting movement. Twin chest pockets with buttoned flaps add a utilitarian structure that grounds the more decorative surface of the fabric. Gold-tone button fastenings run the full length of the front placket and secure each chest pocket, lending a refined finish to the workwear-inspired cut. Cut to approximately 70cm in length with a slim fit through the body - long enough to wear tucked or loose over tailored trousers, sitting just below the hip. The jacquard weave has a satisfying weight to it - not stiff, but with enough body to hold its shape through the shoulders and sleeves. It skims rather than clings, and the seamed waist means it flatters without needing to be belted. The collar sits neatly flat, making it straightforward to wear fully buttoned for a more composed look or open over a simple top when the occasion calls for something less formal. The model wears it as a co-ord with matching wide-leg trousers - a strong way to wear it when you want the texture of the fabric to do the work. Equally, pair it with straight-cut tailored trousers and pointed-toe heels for a daytime work look that reads considered rather than casual. For a weekend edit, layer it over a fine-knit roll-neck with slim dark jeans. It sits naturally in the space between a shirt and a jacket, making it a reliable piece for gallery openings, client lunches, or any occasion where a blazer feels too formal but a basic top isn't quite enough. | Karen Millen Women's Denim Textured Jacquard Shirt | Size: 10
