Plaidowa koszula-jacket z guzikami i kieszeniami piersiowymi w neutralnych tonach | Blue / S 100101022027966

A wardrobe staple that behaves like a light jacket and looks like a classic overshirt — perfect for layering through transitional seasons. The plaid weave offers visual interest while the construction keeps lines clean and wearable with jeans, chinos, skirts or over a dress. Below you’ll find practical fabric facts, measuring and fit guidance, styling ideas and care instructions so you can buy with confidence and keep the piece looking fresh.

Fabric & material — what to know

The shell is a synthetic woven surface engineered to be durable and colorfast. Polyester — the fibre most commonly used for this type of outer-layer — is made from polymer chains (often polyethylene terephthalate, PET). It’s frequently used for printed plaids because dyes sit well on the fibre and patterns keep their saturation after repeated laundering.

How polyester behaves in everyday wear

• Lightweight and quick-drying compared with many natural fibers.
• Resists wrinkles and keeps a neat silhouette straight out of the wash or after a short steam.
• Maintains color vibrancy over time — plaids stay crisp and bright.
• Not naturally breathable like cotton or linen; best for cool-to-mild temperatures or layered looks.
• Tends to hold static and can pill over long-term friction areas; this is manageable with correct care.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Durability: resists abrasion and keeps its shape; good for everyday layering pieces.
• Low maintenance: wrinkle-resistant and quick to dry, reducing ironing time.
• Colorfast: printed plaids retain saturation and pattern definition.
• Lightweight warmth: offers a structured layer without heavy bulk, ideal for transition seasons.
• Affordable: synthetic fabrics typically offer similar looks to natural fabrics at a lower price point.

Cons

• Less breathability than natural fibers — can feel warm in high humidity or during high activity.
• Heat sensitivity: avoid high-temperature drying or ironing; excess heat can deform the fabric.
• Environmental considerations: conventional polyester is petroleum-derived and not biodegradable; recycled options reduce impact but still shed microfibers when washed.
• Static and pilling potential over time — especially in high-friction zones like underarms and hems.

How to measure — product and body

Accurate measuring avoids surprises. Use a soft tape, measure over light clothing (or underwear) and have a second mirror or a friend help if possible.

Measuring your body

• Bust/Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
• Shoulder width: measure across the back from one shoulder bone to the other at the widest point.
• Sleeve length: measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder to the wrist (this is a common reference for long sleeves).
• Torso length: measure from the base of the neck (where the shoulder seam would sit) down to where you want the hem to fall.
• Arm circumference: measure around the fullest part of your upper arm if you plan to wear bulky layers underneath.

Measuring a garment (flat)

• Lay the garment flat on a smooth surface and smooth out wrinkles without stretching.
• Chest/Bust: measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other — double that number to get full circumference.
• Shoulder: measure from seam-to-seam across the back where the shoulder seams meet the sleeve.
• Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff (or from center back neck to cuff, if that’s how the brand lists it).
• Length: measure from the back of the collar base (highest shoulder point) down to the hem.

How to choose size — matching body to garment

• Convert flat garment measurements to circumference by doubling the flat chest measurement.
• Decide how you plan to wear it: for a close fit, allow about 0–1 inch (2–3 cm) of extra ease in the chest; for layering over a tee or thin knit allow 2–4 inches (5–10 cm); for bulky sweaters allow 4–6 inches (10–15 cm).
• When in doubt, size for the bust/chest measurement rather than the shoulders — drop-shoulder designs are meant to look relaxed, so shoulder seam placement is less critical.

Fit notes & model information

The piece has a relaxed silhouette created to layer cleanly over tees and lightweight knits. If you prefer a more tailored look, choose the smaller between two sizes; if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, opt for the larger. Photographs usually show a relaxed fit — use the product’s size chart and the measuring guidance above to choose your best match.

Color information & how to combine

Plaid patterns read as a mix of the dominant and accent tones. Neutral plaids (navy, black, beige, gray) are the most versatile; warmer plaids (rust, burgundy, caramel) add autumnal depth.

Pairing suggestions

• Casual weekend: tee or henley, straight or slim jeans, and leather sneakers or lace-up boots.
• Smart-casual: lightweight turtleneck, tailored chinos and ankle boots for a polished but relaxed look.
• Layered warmth: wear a thin insulating layer (fleece or merino) under the shirt-jacket, finish with a weatherproof shell if needed.
• Skirts & dresses: unbutton and wear as a topper over a midi dress; knot at the waist for a cropped silhouette.
• Accessories: beanies, scarves and leather belts ground the look; choose accessory tones that echo one of the plaid’s secondary colors.

Season suitability

Ideal for spring and autumn as a mid-layer or light outer layer. In milder winters it can serve as a top insulating layer when combined with thermal tops and a heavier coat. On cool summer evenings it functions as a breathable cover-up.

Care tips & quick maintenance

• Wash gently in cold water to preserve dye and reduce static.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid chlorine bleach.
• Air-dry flat or hang to dry; avoid high-heat tumbling to preserve shape and prevent heat damage.
• Remove pills with a fabric shaver or gently with a pumice-style de-pilling tool.
• To reduce static, use a dryer sheet on low heat briefly or a spray-on anti-static solution; humidifying the room also helps.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Spot-treat spills immediately: blot—don’t rub—using cold water and a drop of mild detergent.
2. When laundering, turn the garment inside out to protect the plaid face and trims; wash with like colors.
3. If machine washing is unavoidable, select a gentle or delicate cycle and use a mesh laundry bag to reduce abrasion.
4. Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang on a supportive hanger to dry. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.
5. Refresh wrinkles with a garment steamer on the lowest safe setting rather than a hot iron; if ironing is needed, use a pressing cloth and low heat.
6. Store folded or on a broad-shouldered hanger to avoid shoulder bumps; for long-term storage, keep in a breathable bag or cotton sheet to reduce moisture build-up.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is the fabric warm enough for winter?

It’s designed as a light-to-medium layering piece. For cold winter conditions, use it under a heavier insulated coat or over thermal layers.

Can I machine wash it?

Gentle, cold machine washes are possible if you follow precautions (inside out, mesh bag, gentle cycle). Hand washing and air drying extends fabric life and preserves the plaid colors.

Will the pattern line up across sizes?

Plaid placement can vary by size and cut — small differences in pattern alignment are normal and part of cut-and-sew production for patterned pieces.

Does it stretch?

Synthetic woven fabrics typically have little natural stretch. If you want extra mobility, consider sizing up for added ease or wear it over thinner layers.

How do I remove static or cling?

Use a dryer sheet briefly on low heat, a spray anti-static product, or wear a natural fiber layer beneath to reduce cling. Increasing ambient humidity helps too.

Will it pill?

Pilling depends on abrasion and how often it’s worn/washed. Use a fabric shaver or brush gently to remove pills; laundering inside out reduces friction and slows pilling.

Style tips — quick outfits to try

• Off-duty cool: layer over a white tee, cuff the sleeves, pair with high-rise jeans and white sneakers.
• Office-appropriate: button up over a thin knit, tuck into tailored trousers and add loafers.
• Weekend explorer: layer over a hoodie, wear with slim cargo pants and waterproof boots for an outdoorsy look.
• Effortless evening: throw over a slip dress and add ankle boots for contrast between soft and structured fabrics.
