Phéno mode: we’re adopting the perfect shirt

What if the shirt finally left the office wardrobe to reclaim its place in the city girl’s closet? Long associated with classic silhouettes, sometimes a little too prim, it returns this season in much more fashion-forward versions. Cropped, oversized, embroidered, striped or finished with little details that change everything, it structures the silhouette without trying too hard. Our selection of easy-to-wear shirts that are never boring.

 

The one with character

Impossible to talk about shirts without mentioning Ami. This season, the brand signs a cropped and oversized model in beige cotton oxford, with a button-down collar and mother-of-pearl buttons. The extra detail? The embossed heart on the pocket, which instantly gives character to this piece, worn with white trousers and a pair of loafers.

 

The one we’ll never want to take off

At Aymone, the shirt becomes delicate. In cotton voile, with hand-embroidered armholes and panels, it reveals an almost artisanal feel that we obviously love. Its oversized cut and length give it an easy-to-wear look, without ever feeling too loose. The kind of piece you put on once and never really take off.

 

The one that plays up femininity

Balzac Paris has a knack for making romantic pieces easy to wear. The proof is this shirt with a high Victorian collarand gathered shoulders, which ticks every box of the feminine piece without doing too much. Its fluid tunic-style cutbrings just the right amount of movement. A soft, well-designed shirt that instantly adds a more fashionable touch.

 

The one that gives a stunning allure

At Bourrienne, the shirt never plays the basic card. This Boudoir model, in blue striped seersucker, focuses on a mandarin collar and cuffs enhanced with ruffles. Everything rests on this classic style, but never too wise, perfect for those who love character pieces that get noticed at first glance.

 

The goes-with-everything one

We always appreciate the art of a good basic at Comptoir des Cotonniers. This oversized cotton shirt with navy stripes goes straight to the point with its loose cut, low armholes and fluid drape. No unnecessary detail, just a reliable piece that truly simplifies everyday dressing!

 

The one that embraces contrasts

The chic of a shirt sometimes lies in the details — and Figaret masters this perfectly. Here, the oversized oxford model looks classic at first glance, before revealing its contrasting white collar and cuffs, ecru piping and asymmetric tunic hem. The green crest embroidery adds the extra little twist to this sober piece, which is far from ordinary.

 

The one that proves price isn’t everything

A surprise from H&M with this shirt that has all the makings of a little gem. In a linen and viscose blend, it plays the romantic card with its pleated collar with ruffled edges, tie details and balloon sleeves. Its rounded hem, longer at the back, gives it a very polished allure that is rare at this price. We approve!

 

The one that catches the eye

At Louise Misha, the striped shirt takes on a more coquette look. Cotton poplin, oversized cut, puff sleeves and appliqué embroidery: everything plays on the balance between volume and detail. An easy piece, but strong enough to steal the spotlight!

 

The one that dares everything

Hard to miss this Maje shirt. With blue and white checks, rhinestones and a removable tie, it fully embraces its statementside: the loose, boxy cut calms things down a little, while the mother-of-pearl buttons bring a chic finish. A shirt that clearly isn’t trying to be discreet — and that’s exactly why we love it.

 

The one we’re adopting for summer

The little gem signed Sézane is this Éloïse shirt, which we can already imagine wearing all summer long. Embroidered, cropped, ecru, with its inset ruffled collar and lace bands on the front, it ticks every box of the warm-weather shirt, with that soft and easy side we particularly love from the brand. A light, well-designed piece that is likely to end up in every suitcase.
