Essentiel Antwerp Kute Fabric Mix Shirt in Green

Shirt? Knit? Vest? Essentiel appears to have decided we shouldn’t have to choose.

The Essentiel Antwerp Kute Fabric Mix Shirt in Green is an oversized women’s mixed-fabric shirt combining classic shirting with a built-in knitted layer. The Kute is designed with long sleeves, a traditional shirt collar, button-through front and tie detailing at the neckline, all finished with Essentiel Antwerp’s characteristically playful approach to colour and proportion. The style is confirmed as an intentionally oversized fit.

This is exactly why we buy Essentiel. You could wear a shirt with a knitted vest over it and spend ten minutes getting everything to sit properly. Or you could let them do the whole thing for you.

We like clothes that cooperate.

Why it made the cut

• The built-in knitted layer gives you the look of clever layering without actually having to do any.
• It’s deliberately oversized, giving it that relaxed, slightly exaggerated Essentiel silhouette.
• The mixed fabrics and contrasting textures make it interesting from every angle.
• Decorative buttons and tie detailing stop it feeling remotely like an ordinary shirt.
• Green brings colour into the wardrobe but still works brilliantly with denim, black, grey and cream.
• Put it on with a very simple bottom half and your outfit is essentially done.

How to wear the Kute Fabric Mix Shirt

We’d start with relaxed blue denim and loafers or trainers. The Kute already has plenty going on, so there’s absolutely no need to start auditioning additional statement pieces.

For something sharper, try it with black wide-leg trousers and a great black bag. Or wear it with grey tailored trousers and trainers—the slightly smarter bottom half against the playful layered shirt feels very BWD.

What do you wear with a green oversized shirt? Denim is the easiest answer, while black and charcoal make the green feel more sophisticated. Cream softens it, and chocolate brown gives you a brilliant tonal autumn combination.

Essentially: complicated top, uncomplicated bottom.

Nobody needs every item in an outfit fighting for attention.

Fit & sizing

The Kute is specifically designed with an oversized fit and long sleeves.

Essentiel Antwerp UK size conversion

A BWD note on Essentiel sizing: Essentiel Antwerp is known for its oversized silhouettes, and the Kute is deliberately oversized. Don’t get too hung up on the number on the label—in Essentiel’s roomier styles, a nominal UK 4 can often work beautifully on someone who would normally wear a UK 8. If you want less volume, we’d consider sizing down.
