As they say at Closet Core, “Nothing compares to an oversized menswear-inspired shirt when it comes to iconic wardrobe staples”, I agree!The Jenna Button-up shirtis beautifully proportionedwith lots ofclassic shirt details, Jenna features a loose fit, drop shoulder, deep back yoke, chest pocket, traditional shirt collar and collar stand, and a long sleeve with a classic tower placket and cuff. It will pair with everything.

View A is the perfect everyday button-up shirt, ending below the seat with a deeply curved hem. View B is a cropped button-up shirt with a straight hem. View C is a shirtdress with a gathered skirt panel.
