KAREN MILLENFaux Leather Cutwork Shirt

- An all-over cutwork pattern punched through faux leather - the interlocking floral motifs create a sculptural, almost three-dimensional surface that catches light as the shirt moves. - Boxy cut sits away from the body and falls just at the hip, giving the shirt a structured, jacket-like presence rather than draping like a conventional top. - Short sleeves finish with a scalloped cutwork hem, carrying the decorative detail through to the cuff rather than treating it as an afterthought. - A slim fabric tie at the collar adds a refined, elongating vertical line down the front placket - worn loose, it shifts the feel from polished to quietly editorial. - Classic point collar grounds the piece in shirt-dressing tradition, anchoring all the surface drama with a familiar, wearable shape. This shirt earns its place as the centrepiece of an outfit rather than a supporting layer. The model wears it with a matching cutwork skirt to make a considered co-ord - a strong choice for a gallery opening, a smart lunch, or any occasion that calls for something more considered than a standard tailored look. Away from the co-ord, the boxy silhouette tucks neatly over wide-leg tailored trousers or sits well over a sleek midi skirt in a tonal shade. The faux leather surface means it holds its shape through a long day without creasing, making it as practical as it is striking. Keep accessories minimal - the cutwork does the work, so fine jewellery and a structured bag are all it needs. A slim heel or pointed flat keeps the proportions sharp without competing with the shirt's inherent structure.
