DESCRIPTION
The knit shirt is a true classic and an integral part of 1950s menswear. It's considered an icon of casual and preppy style and is essentially a hybrid of a shirt and a sweater. These knit shirts reflect the spirit of that era: they are comfortable, well-groomed, and masculine without appearing formal. Celebrities like Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra, and James Dean made the knit shirt a symbol of modern masculinity. This image is revisited and continued by the TOM RIPLEY label.
The striking striped jacquard on the front is inspired by authentic models from the 1950s. The vertical pattern visually lengthens the torso and brings the charm of bygone decades into modern life. The Cuban collar, full-button front, and elastic waistband are solid-colored, creating an elegant silhouette. Combined with the simple black sleeves and the equally solid-colored back, this creates the iconic look of bygone decades. A modernized fit ensures contemporary comfort.
This knit shirt can be casually paired with chinos or pleated trousers, true to the 1950s style. For a relaxed look, it's also perfect with jeans. Wear a T-shirt underneath and style the shirt open like an overshirt. If you wear it closed, you don't necessarily need anything underneath, as the soft fabric and high-quality workmanship ensure it sits comfortably next to your skin.
Back to the future of style with reinterpreted vintage vibes.
