Description

Featuring a relaxed, flattering silhouette and several interchangeable options, the Kalle Shirt & Shirtdress offers effortless and sophisticated dressing.

View A showcases a cropped hem with a wide-faced finish, while View B takes inspiration from classic men's oxfords and offers a tunic length shirt. For a stylish shirtdress, choose View C which has a high-low hem. All versions boast a subtly curved yoke, short dolman sleeves with arm cuffs, and a beautifully shaped hemline.

Make the Kalle Shirt & Shirtdress your own by selecting a standard or band collar, an optional breast pocket, an inverted or box pleat, and a button, popover or hidden placket.

Fabric Suggestions

For a fluid and drapey look use soft fabrics such as tencel, linen, viscose challis and silk crepe de chine. For a more structured silhouette use sturdy fabrics like poplin, chambray, voile, flannel/winceyette and traditional shirtings.
