Typically, we have to do a bit of digging before we stumble across a trending item in its early stages of fame, especially when it’s a specific design from a specific brand. However, over the last few weeks, we haven’t had to look very hard to notice that a certain short-sleeved shirt from Matteau is seriously hitting the big time. It has a loose fit, off-white colourway and subtle botanical print, and so many of the chicest individuals on our Instagram feeds have worn this simple summer staple. And, of course, now it’s all we can think about.
Unfortunately, the shirt keeps selling out the moment it is restocked, but we simply had to highlight this dreamy piece, as it is fast becoming the cult buy of 2021. All we can say is thank goodness for stock alerts. All the key platforms (i.e., Browns, Net-a-Porter and Matches) that stock the style have the option of getting an email notification when your size drops. Needless to say, we have alerts on all of the above sites, but we also have intel that more stock will be coming. In the meantime, we’ve rounded up a few similar styles that will sate your short-sleeved-shirt appetite. Scroll down to see our edit and also take a look at how Instagram’s finest are styling their shirts.
We love the loose fit of Lucy Williams’s cargo trousers with the Matteau shirt.
Bring a smarter twist with high-waisted flares à la Claire Wakeman.
Clearly, black trousers are the look to note. This time, Emma Rose Thatcher opts for a pair of classic skinnies and black boots.
