'I had to include a shirt in my edit because they work so many ways. From tucking
them into smart trousers for an office day, dialling down the glamour of a silky skirt
or wearing open as a shacket over swimwear, a shirt does it all. I recommend
choosing one that has a spliced patchwork detail that feels more considered than
a plainer style and which will elevate countless outfits' Alex Fullerton

Designed in sunny tones of pastel orange and yellow, the Lela Patchwork Shirt in Pastel Orange/Yellow Cotton by Saywood is a fun, throw-and-go piece. Made from soft clean cotton, the crispness of the fabric gives structure to its oversized, boxy silhouette, while dropped shoulders and mini side splits add ease. Rich details lift it from essential to statement: tonal topstitching, natural ivory corozo buttons, box pleat and contrast yoke at the back, curved hem, and patched pockets trimmed with a subtle herringbone patterned tape.
