Nothing compares to an oversized menswear-inspired shirt when it comes to iconic wardrobe staples, and the Jenna button-up shirt ticks all the boxes. Perfectly proportioned and loaded with polished and classic shirting details, Jenna features a loose fit, drop shoulder, deep back yoke, chest pocket, traditional shirt collar and collar stand, and a long sleeve with a classic tower placket and cuff.
View A is the perfect everyday button-up shirt, ending below the seat with a deeply curved hem.
View B is a cropped button-up shirt with a straight hem.
View C is a shirtdress with a gathered skirt panel.
