SHIRTS

Women's shirts

Shirts such as Royal, Marissa and Kendall can become the starting point for different Dahlia Bianca outfits. Tuck a shirt into trousers to define the waist or leave it loose for a more relaxed outline.

Collar and cuff details influence the overall look. Consider a printed shirt alongside a simple skirt or pair of trousers, and consult the product page for fabric composition and fit before choosing.

Collars, cuffs and shirt length

A shirt's collar frames the face and its cuffs define the end of the sleeve. Small differences can therefore change even a simple design. Leaving a longer shirt untucked gives the top more presence; tucking the front draws attention to the waist. If you plan to wear it under a jacket, consider not only the size but also how the two layers will sit around the arms and shoulders.

From printed shirts to city outfits

Pairing a printed shirt with solid-colour trousers gives the pattern space. Explore denim trousers for a relaxed day or the office edit when dressing for work. The same shirt becomes a layer when left open and the main top when buttoned. If you would like a different neckline or shoulder shape, browse the blouse collection alongside the shirts.

How do you choose a shirt size?

Check shoulder placement, chest measurements and sleeve length together. On a buttoned design, whether the front closes without pulling is a useful part of assessing the fit. Wanting a looser look does not always mean going up a size; the shirt's intended cut matters. Garment measurements and information about stretch help you relate the photographed silhouette to your own proportions.

Shirt combinations for weekends and holidays

A shirt left loose over shorts creates a more relaxed line than the same design tucked into trousers. Compare shorts with the shirt's length when planning a holiday outfit. If you like rolled sleeves, look at the cuff and sleeve construction. Pairing a printed shirt with a simple bottom helps create several looks from fewer pieces. A different bag or pair of shoes can shift the emphasis of the same combination.

Print, fabric and the character of a shirt

Pattern scale reads differently around a collar, pocket or button line. Look at those details in the images to assess the print as a whole. The fabric surface may have a quieter or more light-reflecting appearance; consider it beside the texture of the bottom piece. Shine does not define formality, just as a print does not restrict a shirt to casual use. Cut and the way the garment is combined shape the overall impression.
