    DETAILS

    The oversized shirt you'll keep reaching for.

    The Mella Shirt in Black Pinstripe by Marle brings classic shirting into a relaxed, oversized silhouette. Crafted from 100% cotton, Mella features a timeless pinstripe finish with thoughtful details that give this everyday essential plenty of character.

    The classic shirt collar and dropped shoulders create a relaxed shape, while the elongated curved hem falls longer at the back for added coverage and movement. Delicate shell buttons run through the front placket and continue onto the cuffs, adding a beautiful natural detail against the black pinstripe.

    At the back, a yoke with an inverted pleat creates extra volume and movement, giving Mella its easy, relaxed shape. Wear it buttoned with tailored trousers, leave it open over a simple tank, or style it with denim for an effortless weekend look.
