Linen New York Shirt

The Jen Kahn Linen New York Shirt combines the structure of classic shirting with the ease and movement of pure linen. Designed with a gently shaped bust that opens into a generous flare through the body, it creates an elegant silhouette without feeling restrictive.

The shirt's distinctive shape is defined by its considered proportions. A straight front hem contrasts with a softly rounded back that falls 8 cm longer at the centre. A 19 cm centre-back slit introduces additional movement, allowing the linen to fall naturally and enhancing the shirt's flowing, A-line silhouette.

A classic pointed collar and six-button front, including the collar fastening, lend a tailored finish. The long sleeves feature a distinctive 11 cm double-layered sleeve end, replacing the traditional cuff. A 9 cm slit at the back of each sleeve end allows the fabric to open gently, adding ease of movement and a subtle design detail.

The generous width through the hem provides a comfortable, airy fit around the waist and hips, while the natural linen weave gives the shirt its characteristic texture and understated appeal.

Wear it buttoned for a more defined silhouette or open over a simple top for relaxed layering. Pair with Jen Kahn linen trousers for an elegant, coordinated look, finished with a pure linen scarf or statement jewellery.
