Carlo Bassetti pop-over cotton shirt

A casual shirt and technical

The pop-over shirt in white cotton redefines the codes of contemporary men's fashion. Straddling the line between sporty polo and formal shirt, it embodies that casual elegance: the famous Italian sprezzatura.

Made from fabric by the prestigious Italian fashion house Carlo Bassetti, it offers exceptional freedom of movement. With a weight of 115 g/m² and a touch of elastane, it combines the lightness of a summer shirt with the structure of a suit. It brings a texture and modernity that classic poplin can't offer.

In a nutshell,

The pop-over shirt in stretch cotton is a staple of casual chic. Its Italian fabric (97% cotton, 3% elastane) guarantees unsurpassed thermal comfort and flexibility. With its partial three-button placket and impeccable Italian collar, it offers a slim silhouette and effortless refinement from morning to night.

The whole shirt

Pop-over style

The pop-over cut is characterized by a buttoned throat that stops in the middle of the bust. Historically popularized by Riviera style icons, this cut forces you to wear it over the head. This stylistic choice adds a casual touch and creates a sleeker, sportier look.

Composition: Maison Carlo Bassetti

We selected a 115 g/m² fabric composed of 97% cotton and 3% elastane. Unlike a rigid fabric, this noble blend offers a mechanical elasticity that accompanies every movement of the body. The feel is particularly soft and the fit remains impeccable throughout the day, naturally limiting excessive creasing.

The color

The white selected by Carlo Bassetti has a unique depth. The specific fabric absorbs light differently, resulting in a matte, textured white. It’s a versatile shade that enhances the complexion and blends naturally with all jacket colors, from navy blue to sandy beige.

Options

The Italian collar

A generous 7.5 cm collar. This length is strategic: it allows the points to fit perfectly under the lapels of a jacket. Its rigidity keeps it straight and proud, even when worn open.

Collar and buttons

A simple, seamless collar for a minimalist design. The closure features three genuine mother-of-pearl buttons, appreciated for their robustness and unique natural shine.

Angular cuffs

A modern, geometric cut. This technical detail accentuates the architectural aspect of the piece and complements the contemporary style of the cut.
