White & Blue Fading Stripes Shirt

White and blue cotton with a stripe that fades rather than holding a hard edge — a "disappearing stripe" effect that reads as more considered than a standard even stripe. Small polka dot fabric inserts sit at the collar, front and cuffs, adding a second, subtler pattern layered underneath the first. Hexagonal AG buttons finish the shirt in the usual way. It's a piece that plays with two patterns at once without either one overwhelming the other, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The kind of shirt that works equally well tucked into tailored trousers for the office or left open over shorts for the weekend. Handcrafted in Italy. Available at 8–10 Hans Road, Knightsbridge, or shop online at angelogalasso.com. The fading stripe effect is subtle enough in person that it often reads simply as texture rather than an obvious printed pattern. Subtle enough to wear often, detailed enough to notice.
