The Frida Shirt is a simple wardrobe staple that really comes into its own in the warmer months. The cut is slightly fitted on the shoulders and more boxy on the torso, with sleeves that finish just above the wrist bone. It’s a classic, useful garment that works in a huge range of textures and colours.
Construction features French seams, a gathered detail on the back, binding finishing around the neck, a simple patch pocket, and deep hems. These details combine to give the overall garment a considered, high-quality feel.
