Sofie D’Hoore Blain Cotton Popover Shirt in Optical White
Blain Cotton Popover Shirt in Optical White
The Blain reworks the classic shirt as a popover with a formal edge. A curved bib panel sits across the chest, borrowed from evening shirting, and a short buttoned placket runs through it to finish in a neat pointed tab. Around it, the shirt is relaxed: dropped shoulders, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, and high side slits that let the longer back fall freely. Cut in crisp, bright white cotton poplin, it is the sharpest white shirt in the wardrobe. Made in Portugal. Available online with shipping throughout Australia and internationally, and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
Wear it loose over straight-leg jeans or wide trousers, where the longer back and side slits fall neatly, or with a midi skirt for lunch. For the office, layer the Minos Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater in Midnight over the top so only the white collar and cuffs show, a classic combination that always looks polished.

What is a bib shirt?
A bib shirt has a separate panel across the chest, a detail taken from formal evening shirts. On the Blain, the curved bib frames a short button placket, so the shirt pulls on over the head.
How does the Sofie D’Hoore Blain Shirt fit?
The Blain has a relaxed, oversized fit with dropped shoulders, and the brand recommends sizing down if you prefer a neater shape.
Should the Blain be tucked in?
It is designed to be worn loose. The high side slits and longer back hem fall neatly over wide trousers or a full skirt.
Can I machine wash the Blain Shirt?
Yes. It is 100% cotton poplin, and Sofie D’Hoore recommends a gentle wash at 30°C with similar colours.
Does the Blain come in another colour?
Yes. Riada also carries the Blain Cotton Popover Shirt in Powder.
