PAULA RYAN High Collar Boyfriend Shirt - Microjersey Black

Crafted from Paula Ryan's Italian Microjersey, this shirt combines technical fabric performance with everyday versatility. Renowned for its 360-degree stretch, breathability, shape retention, and no-iron performance, Microjersey is designed to maintain its appearance through repeated wear and washing. Lightweight, travel-ready, and offering maximum resistance to pilling, it is the fabric many women rely on when consistency matters most.

• Relaxed oversized silhouette with an easy boyfriend fit
• High collar stud for a clean, polished finish
• Button-through with false front for versatile styling
• Extended length designed to wear loose, layered, or partially tucked
• Fluid drape that moves comfortably with the body
• Ideal for travel, work, and everyday dressing
  

The beauty of this piece lies in its reliability. The oversized silhouette creates an effortless sense of ease, while the technical performance of Microjersey ensures it retains its shape and structure over time. It is the kind of shirt that earns its place in your wardrobe, not because it demands attention, but because it consistently delivers.

Style it with leggings, narrow-leg trousers, or the Paula Ryan Ankle Pleat Basque Pant for a balanced silhouette. In Black, it offers a versatile, polished foundation that works effortlessly across casual and professional settings. Also available in White, Shadow Blue, and Cocoa Plum. Designed and made in New Zealand, it is a considered investment that will continue to perform season after season.
