    DETAILS

    The oversized shirt you'll want to throw on with everything.

    The Mella Shirt in Mist Stripe by Marle brings a fresh, relaxed feel to classic shirting. Crafted from 100% cotton, this oversized style is designed with generous proportions and thoughtful detailing that make it just as easy to wear casually as it is dressed up.

    The classic shirt collar and dropped shoulders create the 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, bringing a natural finishing detail to the soft Mist Stripe colourway.

    At the back, a yoke with an inverted pleat adds volume and movement through the body, giving Mella its signature relaxed shape. Wear it buttoned with tailored trousers, leave it open over a simple tank, or pair with your favourite denim for an easy everyday look.

    Fresh stripes, beautiful details and that oversized shape you'll keep coming back to.
