PAULA RYAN High Collar Boyfriend Shirt - Microjersey Cocoa Plum

Our most popular style of 2026! We have sold out in most sizes and colours. We have a recut in make arriving mid-June. Register your interest here to be alerted first.

Made from Italian Microjersey, this shirt is defined by fabric performance - 4-way stretch, breathability, and shape retention that holds through repeated wear. The fabric resists pilling, requires no ironing, and dries quickly, making it a practical choice for travel and everyday use where consistency matters.

The silhouette is relaxed and oversized, with a longer boyfriend fit that falls cleanly through the body. A high collar and button-through flat front maintain a structured appearance, while the extended length allows it to be worn loose or layered. The overall line is uncomplicated, designed to sit comfortably without losing form.

Over time, this is a piece that continues to deliver. Microjersey maintains its integrity through frequent washing and wear, making it a dependable option within a working wardrobe. It is particularly suited to travel, where performance, ease, and reliability become essential.

Styled with slim silhouettes such as leggings or narrow pants, or balanced with tailored options like the Paula Ryan Ankle Pleat Basque Pant, it offers flexibility without compromise. The white version brings clarity to the wardrobe - clean, precise, and designed to hold its appearance with the right care.

Sizing Notes: This style is a very oversized fit. If you prefer a tailored silhouette fit, we suggest choosing a size down from your usual size.
E.g. If you are normally a size 14, choose the size M. For this style, we suggest: XS=10, S=12, M=14, L=16, XL=18, 2XL=20, 3X=22.
