Slate Blue Silk Chiffon Poppy Print Dress Shirt

1970s · 1960s · British

A fitted men's dress shirt constructed from lightweight silk chiffon featuring a bold repeating poppy motif. The large-scale floral pattern shows stylized poppies in deep burgundy and black against a slate blue ground. The shirt follows traditional tailoring with a pointed collar, button-front closure, and fitted sleeves with barrel cuffs. The translucent quality of the chiffon creates depth in the pattern while maintaining the structured silhouette typical of late 1960s menswear. This piece exemplifies the period's embrace of bold prints and luxurious fabrics in men's fashion, reflecting the era's rejection of conservative dress codes and adoption of more expressive, artistic clothing choices.
