DESCRIPTION
The knit shirt is a true classic and a staple of 1950s menswear. Considered an icon of the casual and preppy style, it is essentially a hybrid of a shirt and a sweater. These knit shirts reflect the spirit of that era: they are comfortable, polished, and masculine without looking formal. Personalities like Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra, or James Dean made the knit shirt a symbol of modern masculinity. This image is revisited and continued by the brand TOM RIPLEY.
The geometric honeycomb jacquard on the front is inspired by authentic models from the fifties and brings the charm of past decades back into everyday modern life. The Cuban collar, the full-button front, and the elasticated hem are kept in a solid color, creating an elegant line. Combined with the simple black sleeves and the solid-colored back, it creates the iconic look of past decades. A modernized fit ensures contemporary comfort.
True to 50s style, this knit shirt can be combined casually with chinos or pleated trousers. For a relaxed look, it also pairs perfectly with jeans. If you wear a T-shirt underneath, you can style the shirt open like an overshirt. When worn closed, you do not necessarily need anything underneath, as the soft quality and high-quality workmanship make it comfortable to wear directly against the skin.
Back to the future of style with reinterpreted vintage vibes.
