Trend watch: cool and classy embroidered shirts


Elevate your holiday wardrobe with an embroidered shirt. It’s something you can wear for ever – and is far more elegant than a lairy tropical print

Look for artisan labels like slow-fashion brand Kardo (see picture, above), which uses traditional techniques, including Shibori and Chikankari embroidery and collaborates with handloom-weaving communities throughout India. B Corp certified label Farm Rio’s all-over embroidered beauty (5, below) from its unisex edit is a real talking point and also comes in matching trousers. And Steven Stokey Daley offers a selection of one-of-a-kind upcycled tablecloth shirts in his Orange Label collection via his website ( ssdaley.com, from £375).
