An elevated take on a sartorial staple, Mela Purdie’s Short Sleeve Pocket Shirt is rendered in a bright pink ‘Phlox’ colourway.
It’s crafted in Australia from Mela’s lightweight Maché technical fabrication that gives a breathable feel and a softly structured drape, then is framed by angled short cap sleeves.
A Nehru collar falls into a concealed full-front button-down placket. A statement front chest patch pocket is a nod to utilitarian design tropes seen throughout the label’s seasonal offerings.
Team it with white linen shorts for a playful daytime look.
