"Dries Van Noten" Longline windowpane check band collar shirt

Rooted in Antwerp's sensibility, Dries Van Noten has incorporated color, pattern, and tailoring intelligence into everyday wear, and here we introduce a beautifully patterned piece.

The fine check pattern, combined with lines running like window frames, quietly adds depth, and this piece balances intricate detail up close with a neat appearance from afar.

The collar features a clean band collar that stands up neatly, giving a refined outline without unnecessary decoration around the neck, suitable for wearing inside a jacket or on its own, maintaining an elegant sense of tension.

The front employs a minimalistic design that emphasizes vertical lines, so despite the checkered pattern, it doesn't create a scattered impression, and the natural downward flow of the gaze results in a well-balanced, elongated overall appearance.

Additionally, the slightly longer length is characteristic, offering versatility beyond just a shirt, allowing it to be worn like a light outerwear, making it a reliable choice for layered outfits during seasonal transitions.

The sleeve features a carefully tapered cuff design that converges towards the wrist, ensuring a good fit when buttoned, and even when rolling up the sleeves for a relaxed look, the fabric's shape remains stable, making it a pleasure to look polished even in everyday movements.

Furthermore, the soft drape from the shoulders to the body maintains a relaxed silhouette that doesn't overly emphasize the body's lines, and while maintaining an easy-to-incorporate mood regardless of gender, it quietly leaves only the dignity of the pattern.

Although it appears to be a subtle pattern, the meticulous design of the color scheme and pitch enhances the overall quality just by layering it with a simple outfit, making it especially recommended for those who want to avoid patterns that are too assertive but still want some presence.

Styling-wise, by layering a neat pair of slacks with a long coat to align the vertical lines, you can naturally achieve Dries' signature intellectual mood, and by layering over a minimal knit to highlight the shirt's length, the depth of the pattern stands out as the main feature.

Definitely take this opportunity.
