RUBY Lilac Gingham Relaxed Button-Up Shirt, Size 8

Purchase Protection & Refund Policy

A beautifully easy RUBY shirt in a soft lilac-and-white gingham, with the kind of relaxed, quietly polished shape that works across seasons. Cut in a loose short-sleeve silhouette, the shirt has a classic pointed collar, full button front and a single chest pocket, but the proportions keep it from feeling formal or corporate. The sleeves are finished with wide turned cuffs, which gives the piece a slightly more styled, considered finish, while the back has a central inverted pleat that adds ease through the body and creates a soft drape. The gingham is especially pretty here. Instead of a traditional black, navy or red check, RUBY has used a gentle lilac-purple against white, giving the shirt a fresher and more feminine feel while still retaining the graphic simplicity of classic gingham. It is the kind of color that works beautifully with washed denim, cream, chocolate brown, navy and soft grey. The fabric is lightweight and breathable with a lightly textured woven finish. There is no composition label, but it has the crisp yet soft hand expected from a lightweight summer shirting fabric. Styling-wise, this is very versatile. Wear it buttoned with high-waisted blue jeans or tailored cream trousers for a clean everyday look, or leave it open over a white tank with relaxed denim shorts for a more casual summer outfit. The lilac gingham gives enough interest that very little else is needed. The relaxed shape also makes it easy to wear slightly oversized on a smaller frame. On the tagged size 8 it should read as an easy, comfortable fit rather than a fitted shirt.
