This half shirt combines traditional textile artistry with a casual, easy-to-wear silhouette.
Design Details:
Pattern Style: The shirt showcases a vertical striped ikat pattern. Ikat is a dyeing technique where yarns are resist-dyed before weaving, giving the fabric its signature blurred or feathered edges in the patterns.
Stripe Layout: The stripes alternate between solid mustard yellow and reddish-orange bands. Within the reddish-orange bands, faint white motifs appear, which are characteristic of the ikat weave’s uneven yet artistic texture.
Collar & Neckline: It has a short, pointed collar with a slight “V” at the neckline before the buttons begin, creating a relaxed yet neat appearance.
Buttons: The front closure features small, round black buttons that contrast sharply against the warm tones of the fabric, adding a defined visual break.
Sleeves: The sleeves are short and end just above the elbow, emphasizing its casual summer-wear appeal.
Pocket: A single chest pocket is integrated into the design, blending into the pattern but adding functionality.
Fit & Cut: The shirt appears to have a slightly loose fit, enhancing comfort and airflow, especially in warm weather.
Colour Palette & Mood:
The mustard yellow base gives it a bright, cheerful, and earthy tone.
The reddish-orange stripes add warmth and depth, creating a balanced yet vibrant contrast.
The subtle white motifs within the stripes provide a handcrafted, traditional touch, preventing the design from appearing too flat.
This makes the shirt ideal for casual outings, summer wear, or as a stylish nod to ethnic textile traditions while still looking modern and approachable.
