"CELINE" 2010’s phoebe-era striped cotton poplin shirt

Since its founding, CELINE has established a mode with a refined silhouette centered on high-quality everyday wear, especially during Phoebe Philo's era, where it established an aesthetic that combines intelligence and practicality. We introduce a superb shirt that features a neat use of stripes.

This masterpiece, which carries a quiet sense of tension, becomes a standard point of reference in styling.

The estimated era is around 2013, as evidenced by the logo around the neck with an accented CÉLINE and PARIS written underneath, matching the earlier version before the logo change in later years. Additionally, the quality label's item number starting with 2C and the multi-language tags indicating Celine Japan's domestic agency add credibility to the production background of the early 2010s within Phoebe's era.

The fabric shows the fine texture typical of 100% cotton poplin, with good skin release and a clean, crisp feel, so it doesn't look sloppy when worn, and the neatness of the shirt naturally stands out. The Italian tailoring also contributes, with sewing lines that look tidy without overly asserting themselves, which is especially valuable in daily life.

The pattern is based on narrow stripes, which appear minimal from a distance but become more rhythmic as you get closer, combining the versatility of being extendable from plain to patterned and the expressive power to add depth to styling. Moreover, the front features a plain placket with small buttons, completing the look with the beauty of lines and surfaces rather than decoration, which is characteristic of Phoebe.

The collar is a moderately open regular collar, designed to easily balance whether you button it up or leave it open, making it versatile for formal styling like a tie-up or a more relaxed look by unbuttoning to let in air. Additionally, the stitching on the collar tips and stand supports the outline, so even when worn under a jacket, the face area doesn't become blurry, maintaining a sense of refinement.

The advantage of this shirt is that it doesn't just run the stripe straight but creates visual separation by switching the cuffs to horizontal use, which makes the gestures at the wrists look naturally tidy. Since the yoke on the back is also switched horizontally, it creates a quiet change in the back view, and despite being a simple piece, it is designed not to feel lacking.

The silhouette is not overly oversized, maintaining a neat balance between the shoulder line and body width while providing just the right amount of ease, so even when tucked in, it doesn't look tight, and when worn out, it doesn't look sloppy. The hem is treated with a gentle curve, making it easy to create movement when layered, and it allows you to build up the completeness in everyday styling.

The so-called Old Celine Phoebe era is widely supported as a time when practicality and mode were simultaneously achieved, and especially this type of classic shirt is a category where aesthetics are most straightforwardly expressed. Therefore, it can be used for a long time without relying on trends, and it is valued as an archive that enhances the accuracy of your outfits while fitting into your lifestyle.

This masterpiece is especially recommended for those seeking everyday wear that is minimal yet not sloppy, and for those who want to naturally wear an intellectual mood regardless of gender, making it easy to choose for those who want to assemble their outfits on the same axis from work to dining occasions.

Styling-wise, pairing it as an inner layer with tailored jackets or long coats enhances the beauty of the lines, and when combined with bottoms like slacks or long skirts that have a flowing feel, it can straightforwardly connect to the masculine elegance characteristic of Phoebe's era. Furthermore, even when layered with simple knits or vests, the rhythm of the pattern remains just right, making it an excellent piece that subtly increases the mode's density while suppressing claims.

Take this opportunity.
