Cavalier Shirtmakers 1970s Cobalt Blue Orange Button Long Sleeve Shirt

A cobalt blue that shifts toward indigo depending on the light, the easy care blend fabric has a fine slubbed texture running through it, giving the surface a subtle visual movement. Then there are those buttons: bold, glossy orange resin against all that blue, with red topstitching running the length of the front placket and tracing the collar points and cuffs.

The shirt cuts a fitted, elongated line through the body, falling to the hip that works tucked into a high-waisted skirt or left loose over slim trousers. The pointed collar frames the face and neck without overwhelming a narrower shoulder line, and those long sleeves with their neat buttoned cuffs keep the look svelte. Tuck the front only, leave the back out, and you've got one of the most effortless silhouettes in the wardrobe.
