What occasions is this shirt suitable for?

How do I style the dramatic sleeves?

The dramatic sleeves can be styled by pushing them up slightly, or by pairing the shirt with items that balance the volume, such as slim-fit trousers or a well-defined waist with a belt.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears too voluminous

Cinch the waist with a belt to create definition and balance the silhouette. Consider tucking the front into trousers or a skirt.

Studs feel uncomfortable

Ensure the shirt is buttoned correctly. If the studs are on the inside collar or cuffs, ensure they are lying flat against the fabric.

Fabric loses its sheen

Ensure the garment is washed and ironed according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying.
