PAULA RYAN Ashford Top - Double Stripe Microjersey

For days when you want the finish of a collared shirt with room to move, the Ashford is a welcome find. Blue double stripes on white give it a fresh summer feel, while an open neckline and dropped shoulders soften the shape. Full sleeves gather into narrow cuffs, adding volume and wrist-length coverage.

Italian Microjersey feels smooth against the skin, with stretch that moves with you. The fabric resists creasing and pilling, retains its shape through repeated washing, and needs no ironing. Particularly useful when you’re packing a favourite shirt for a holiday.

Tuck into white wide leg trousers and add a tan belt for lunch out, as pictured. Wear loose over slim navy pants with flat sandals for everyday, or pair with jeans and white sneakers for the weekend. The collar and softly gathered sleeves bring enough detail to make simple combinations feel considered.

Fit: Relaxed through the body, with dropped shoulders and full sleeves gathered at the wrist. Can be worn tucked in or loose.

Fabric: Italian Microjersey.
