Assured Top -Terracotta Dusk

Pattern worn plainly, with nothing to prove.

The Assured Top is a sleeveless cotton shirt built on a single idea: let the cloth do the talking. Narrow vertical bands of diamonds, chevrons and fine dotted lines run the length of the body, and just above the hem they give way to a wider border band, a change of rhythm that reads as deliberate rather than decorative.

Terracotta Dusk is a warm brick-rust threaded through with indigo and cream, a combination that holds its depth in daylight and softens as the day goes.

It is cut sleeveless and close to the body without gripping it, with a small stand collar that opens into a soft notch and a front placket of pale tonal buttons running to the hem. The hem itself is curved, hip length, and sits well whether you tuck it or leave it out.

• Breathable cotton in an all-over woven geometric stripe
• Terracotta rust, indigo and cream worked through the weave
• Sleeveless, with a small stand collar that opens into a soft notch
• Full-length front placket with pale tonal buttons
• A wider geometric border band running across the garment above the hem
• Curved shirt-tail hem, hip length and easy over trousers

• Wear it out over ivory wide-leg trousers and let the border band sit at the hip.
• Tuck it into high-waisted denims and push the shoulders back for an easy line.
• Layer it under a plain ivory jacket when you want the pattern to peek rather than speak.

Assurance is quiet: it simply wears well.
