A refined yet relaxed long-sleeve shirt from TAKEO KIKUCHI, featuring a refreshing blue color, a cotton-linen blend fabric, and a distinctive wide-spread collar.
One of the most attractive features is the collar. Unlike a conventional regular collar, the collar points spread naturally outward, creating a clean and open neckline. It looks particularly good worn without a tie, with the top button undone for an effortless and relaxed appearance.
The fabric is made from 60% cotton and 40% linen, combining the easy-to-wear character of cotton with the natural texture and breathable feel associated with linen. The subtly textured surface gives the shirt much more depth than an ordinary plain blue shirt.
The refreshing blue shade is highly versatile and works beautifully with white, black, navy, charcoal, beige, olive and denim.
Another major advantage is the generous size 4. Rather than wearing it strictly as a fitted dress shirt, the roomy proportions make it ideal for contemporary relaxed styling. It can be worn buttoned up as a clean casual shirt or left open over a T-shirt like a lightweight spring or summer jacket.
A simple chest pocket, understated buttons and a center box pleat at the back complete the design without unnecessary decoration. The result is a shirt that relies on its fabric, collar shape and silhouette for its appeal.
For an easy modern outfit, wear it open over a plain white T-shirt with black or charcoal wide-leg trousers and finish with white sneakers or leather sandals. Beige chinos create a softer seasonal look, while dark indigo denim offers a classic and timeless combination.
With its relaxed size 4 silhouette, breathable cotton-linen fabric and charming wide collar, this TAKEO KIKUCHI shirt is an excellent choice for effortless spring and summer styling.
