The Shirt Ocean Air is a loose, breathable shirt designed for travel days and warm-weather situations where you want to be dressed without being hot. The name describes what it's meant to feel like: something that moves with air and doesn't trap heat. The fabric is lightweight and the fit is relaxed — wide enough to wear comfortably in high temperatures, long enough to wear untucked over shorts or trousers.

The construction is the same across all the shirts in this series: 100% lightweight cotton, cut in a relaxed oversized fit that works untucked over shorts, trousers, or a swimsuit. The cotton breathes well in heat and doesn't stick to skin. The embroidery is placed on the front — it's specific enough to be a detail and restrained enough not to be a statement.

Fabric and fit

100% cotton, woven and lightweight. The fabric is breathable and gets softer with washing without losing its structure. The fit is intentionally relaxed — wider through the body than a fitted shirt, with a slightly longer hem. It works well worn open over a tank or buttoned fully. The collar is a standard shirt collar that sits flat without needing ironing.

Measurements

Recommended body measurements: XS: Bust 82–85 cm / S: Bust 85–89 cm / M: Bust 90–93 cm / L: Bust 94–97 cm.

Care

Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Hang or lay flat to dry — don't tumble dry, which can shrink cotton and affect the embroidery over time. Iron on medium heat if needed, avoiding the embroidered area or ironing it from the reverse. Hand washing extends its life, and the shirt dries quickly in warm weather after a sink wash.

Who it's for

This shirt is for women who want a versatile travel layer that earns its space in a bag. It works as a shirt on its own, open over a swimsuit, or as a layer over a tank top. It's a practical piece for coastal destinations, warm cities, or any trip where the temperature is consistently high and you're spending time outdoors. The breathable fabric makes a difference on long days — it doesn't feel heavy or stuffy the way synthetic fabrics can.

Styling

Open over a swimsuit at the beach or by the pool. Buttoned fully with wide-leg trousers for a day in town. Tied at the front hem over high-waisted shorts for more shape. With a crossbody bag and sandals for a long walking day in a warm city.
