Haute L’Amitie Crop Stripe Zip Shirt in Pale Blue

A blue striped shirt… but considerably less sensible.

The Haute L’Amitié Crop Stripe Zip Shirt in Pale Blue takes one of the hardest-working pieces in a wardrobe and gives it a very welcome shake-up. The fresh pale-blue stripe keeps things classic, while the cropped shape and zip detailing make it feel modern, cool and anything but corporate.

It’s exactly the sort of piece we love buying for BWD: familiar enough to be easy, different enough to make you want it.

Because nobody really needs another blue shirt. Unless it’s this one.

Why it made the cut

• The pale-blue stripe feels fresh, timeless and incredibly easy to style.
• The cropped proportion works brilliantly with high-waisted jeans and trousers.
• Zip detailing gives a classic shirt a much cooler, sportier edge.
• It makes everyday denim instantly feel more interesting.
• We only buy pieces we genuinely love and think our customers will too. This had us at blue stripe + crop + zip.

How we’d wear it…

With high-waisted wide-leg denim, loafers and a great belt for an easy everyday look, or with black tailored trousers and trainers for that smart-meets-sporty mix we love. We’d also wear it slightly unzipped over a white tank, sleeves pushed up and jewellery kept simple.

And please don’t make it too neat. It doesn’t want to be.

Care

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle if the care label permits. Close the zip before washing, reshape whilst damp and hang to dry naturally. Steam lightly if needed and always follow the care label instructions.

We love a classic. We just prefer it when someone’s messed with it a little.
