Women's Natural Tailored Tie Neck Shirt

The self-tie neck detail sits like a built-in necktie - structured enough to hold its shape, soft enough to be loosened or retied for a different effect entirely. Tailored fit through the body with raglan-style shoulder seaming that keeps the silhouette clean and uninterrupted across the chest. A single chest pocket with a refined piped edge adds a suiting-inspired detail that lifts this beyond a standard shirt. Long sleeves finish with buttoned cuffs - the kind of considered detail that reads well whether the sleeves are worn down or turned back. The viscose blend brings a soft drape and cool handfeel that skims the body without clinging - it moves with you rather than against you. The tie neck is the whole story here. It draws directly from menswear tailoring but lands differently on this shirt - worn loose, it gives the front a relaxed, undone quality; cinched into a neat knot, it shifts the entire register towards boardroom-sharp. The fabric skims rather than clings, so the tailored cut reads as precise without feeling restrictive. The model wears it tucked into a matching pleated midi skirt with a slim belt at the waist, which is the most polished route - a tonal, head-to-toe approach that lets the tie neck do the talking. It works just as well with wide-leg tailored trousers and a pointed-toe heel for a client lunch or an evening event that calls for something considered rather than overtly dressed up. This is a shirt that rewards the woman who knows exactly what she wants her wardrobe to say. | Karen Millen Tailored Tie Neck Shirt in Cream | Size 16 Colour: natural
