Collaratte ivory cotton puff sleeves blouse

Origin: Made in Japan

Materials

• Fabric: Crafted from high-quality cotton poplin, providing a crisp, breathable texture that maintains its structured shape throughout the day.

• Color: A soft, versatile ivory that pairs effortlessly with both neutral and bold palettes.

Details

• Neckline: Features a versatile self-tie collar that can be worn in a loose knot for a modern look or tied into a traditional bow for a more formal feel.

• Puff Sleeves: The short puff sleeves are designed with subtle volume and finished with elasticized cuffs for a secure, tapered fit.

• Bodice Construction: Includes a horizontal yoke detail across the chest, adding subtle architectural interest to the clean silhouette.

• Closure: A hidden front button placket maintains the streamlined appearance of the garment.

• The Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors to preserve the depth of the cotton’s hue.

• The Dry: Air dry by laying flat on a drying rack. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can clump the internal padding and cause the cotton shell to shrink.

• The Maintenance: Use a garment steamer to refresh the fabric and smooth out any surface wrinkles. Avoid direct ironing to ensure the padded quilting maintains its intended loft.

This vest is designed for effortless, high-contrast layering. For a sophisticated utilitarian look, layer it over the Embroidered Pure Linen Mid-Length Shirt in Optic White. The rugged, padded texture of the vest provides a perfect masculine-inspired counterpoint to the delicate tonal embroidery of the shirt.

To ground the voluminous profile, pair the ensemble with the Contour-Stitched Striped Cotton Tapered Pants. The vertical pinstripes and ergonomic seam-work of the pants balance the horizontal quilting of the vest, creating a cohesive and dynamic silhouette. Finish the look with a pair of clean leather sneakers or the Ribbon Oil-Waxed Lambskin Square-Toe Loafers for a  more polished, urban finish.
