Stripe Balloon Sleeve Button Up Shirt in Royal Blue

A striped button up is about as safe as a shirt gets, so the balloon sleeve is what saves this one from being ordinary. The volume gathers through the arm and pulls in again, which turns a plain workwear shape into something with a bit of drama in it. The stripe runs across a royal blue ground, bright enough that the shirt reads as a decision rather than a default.

The fit is genuinely loose, and the measurements confirm it: the bust starts at 40.2 inches in a small and opens to 48 inches in an XL, which is a lot of room through the body. Top length runs 26.8 to 29.1 inches across the range and the sleeve sits between 16.5 and 17.7 inches, so it falls somewhere around the elbow rather than the wrist. The fabric is 100% polyester with no stretch, which is what lets the balloon sleeve hold its shape instead of collapsing.

Because it is cut so loose it wants a narrow bottom half to balance against. Slim jeans, a fitted trouser or a pencil skirt all work, and a front tuck at the waist gives it a shape without losing the volume in the sleeve. Left open over a tank it becomes a light layer for a cool evening or an over shirt at the beach. Keep the jewelry away from the wrists so nothing fights the sleeve, and let the blue do the rest.
