How to choose your women's shirt
The shirt, also called a blouse in its feminine form, accompanies a silhouette as much as it reveals a personality. Weave, cut and patterns all contribute to its look and its style, and allow it to be adapted to everyday life as well as to dressier occasions.
Every weave has its own character. Poplin, the emblematic fabric of the women's white shirt, in pure white or in other shades, appeals through its smooth feel and its impeccable hold, ideal for an elegant silhouette at the office or on important occasions. Denim, perfect for a women's casual shirt, offers more texture, more comfort and a more relaxed spirit. When the fine weather arrives, the women's linen shirt brings freshness and lightness.
The choice of cut depends above all on the look you are after. The Albane models naturally underline the silhouette. The oversized shirt plays with volumes in a modern way for a more contemporary silhouette.
A plain shirt crosses the seasons with elegance and pairs easily with the whole wardrobe. Stripes bring rhythm to the silhouette while remaining timeless, whereas checks or patterns assert the personality of an outfit more strongly. The essential thing is to choose a shirt in which you feel naturally at ease.
Which women's shirt for which occasion
The shirt has this quality of adapting to every wish, every outfit and every style. More than a question of occasion, it is often a question of look. Depending on the fabric, the cut or the way it is worn, it reveals a different silhouette while keeping the same elegance.
The shirt naturally brings style to a professional silhouette. Worn with tailored trousers or a skirt, it asserts an understated elegance and a controlled femininity without ever looking too formal.
The shirt also likes to break free from the codes of fashion. Worn in an oversized cut, open over a t-shirt or a top, paired with jeans, it draws its inspiration from the masculine wardrobe to compose a look that is at once modern, on-trend and relaxed.
In summer, our linen models are also available in feminine versions, a new addition offering the same freshness and the same natural elegance throughout the season.
How to wear a women's shirt
A true wardrobe staple, the shirt offers a thousand ways of being worn. It is often a detail that changes the look and the style: a rolled-up sleeve, a slightly open collar or a more or less structured silhouette. The essential thing is to find the balance that suits you.
Tucked into high-waisted trousers, the shirt naturally underlines the silhouette and brings a timeless elegance. A simple way to structure an outfit while showcasing the cut and the length.
Worn open over a plain t-shirt or a top, the shirt takes on a more relaxed look. A combination inspired by the masculine wardrobe that adds depth to the silhouette and easily accompanies more informal days.
The collar and cuffs peeking out from a fine sweater or a knit bring a touch of character while playing with layering. An elegant way to extend the pleasure of wearing a shirt when temperatures drop.
Paired with raw or lighter jeans depending on the season, the shirt composes a naturally balanced silhouette.
