Plus Soft Tailored Shirt

A pleated bib front panel runs down the centre of the shirt, giving it a distinctly formal, tuxedo-inspired structure that sets it apart from a standard tailored shirt. Semi-sheer sleeves contrast with the more opaque body panels, creating a considered interplay of coverage and transparency without compromising the polished silhouette. Tailored fit through the body with a gently curved hem - it sits neatly when tucked and falls cleanly when left out, offering genuine versatility in how it's worn. Small jewel-toned buttons run the length of the placket, adding a refined finishing detail that reads as intentional rather than incidental. Long sleeves with buttoned cuffs give the shirt a composed, put-together quality that holds up from a morning meeting through to an evening occasion. The tailored cut keeps this shirt close to the body without restricting movement - it skims the waist and sits with quiet authority rather than demanding attention. That pleated bib is the defining feature: it borrows from formal menswear tradition and reframes it as something thoroughly contemporary for women. The semi-sheer sleeves lighten the overall look, preventing the shirt from reading as too severe. Worn as the model styles it here - tucked into wide-leg tailored trousers with kitten-heel mules - it forms an effortlessly coherent evening outfit. For the office, pair it with a sharp pencil skirt and court shoes. It also works well beneath a fitted blazer when the occasion calls for an extra layer of polish. A cocktail event, a work presentation, a smart dinner - this shirt carries the weight of any of them without needing much else around it. | Karen Millen Women's Plus size Soft Tailored Shirt in Black | Size: 20
