On the hunt for
A Tan Poplin Shirt
I’m on the hunt for a tan/light khaki poplin shirt (sans flap pockets). I love the color of this one by Ferragamo, and Rag & Bone has a nice one at a much kinder price point.

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

I just got a very similar one from
banana republic. Very chic and great price point.
Nili Lotan does a great poplin shirt and often in khaki.
Ralph Lauren has a gorgeous one this season. At BG.
You know I love Cos – they have a great regular-fit and an oversized fit. Sometimes I’ll buy a budget friendly item to see how often I reach for it and how it matches with pieces I already own before investing in a high quality garment. I’m in agreement that the flap pockets do no favors. Marcheline Isabelle
Check out Arket, I bought one last year exactly like the photo (sans flap pockets)
Might be a question for a relatively narrow circle, but would appreciate ideas for wearing tan and beige colors that I like with grey hair. Love the shirt and the styling and would like to find a way to not look washed out wearing it!

I LOVE the one from Anine Bing.
I saw one at Zara – looks good!
I bought one from Brunello this season
Irina, I wear a lot of this color and for me, gold earrings and a coral lipstick is just right. Depending on your complexion, I could also see red. I love hearing the range of views and attitudes towards all of the stylish things posted here. I am intrigued by which topics/colors/trends/looks spark comments. For me, it’s all in the mix ~ Preston’s finely tuned edits, readers’ inquiries and anecdotes, memories sparked by a post, shared tips, and diverse viewpoints.
I adore the color and cut of this Ferragamo shirt.
Love the image. Curious to hear your views on flap pockets!
I have a significant chest and flap pockets draw attention to it.
Amen to your comments on flap pockets and significant chests (like my own), Preston! Would love to see a post on dressing this particular body type if one’s personal style leans toward strict tailoring, streamlined silhouettes, and clean lines. It’s surprisingly hard to find clothes that suit.
Something simple and clean but with some drape to accommodate curves, instead of rigid cut, is the trick I think Lisa Mac!
My sister designed an amazing one that I live in. No pockets, roomy without being big. Made in NYC!
