Ease Shirt - Desert Mosaic

Tiled, angular, sun-bleached.

The Ease Shirt in Desert Mosaic carries an all-over patchwork print: triangles, diamonds, zigzags and small tiled squares butted against one another like floor work seen from above. The ground is a sand-stone neutral, worked over in ochre and charcoal-olive with occasional flashes of coral-red that keep the whole thing from settling.

Cut in Flax Cotton, it has a small stand collar that opens into a shallow V and a front placket of small tonal buttons that all but disappear into the print.

The sleeves are three-quarter and widen very slightly towards a plain, open cuff. The body falls relaxed to a curved shirt-tail hem, with a short side slit that lets it sit easily over trousers.

• Flax Cotton with a dry, breathable hand
• All-over geometric patchwork print in sand, ochre, charcoal-olive and coral-red
• Stand collar opening into a shallow V
• Front placket with small tonal buttons set into the print
• Three-quarter sleeves widening slightly to a plain open cuff
• Curved shirt-tail hem with a short side slit

• Keep the rest neutral: oatmeal or ivory wide-leg trousers let the print hold the frame.
• Wear it with plain white denims and flat sandals for daytime.
• Skip patterned jewellery here; a single fine chain is enough.

A pattern that rewards a second look, and asks for very little else.
