Sanctuary The City Plaid Shirt — Espresso Plaid

THE PLAID SHIRT, BUT COOLER. 🤎

Plaid for fall isn't exactly groundbreaking—but this one feels different.

The Sanctuary City Plaid Shirt in Espresso Plaid has the rich brown tones I'm seeing everywhere right now, with that relaxed, slightly borrowed-from-the-boys feel that makes a plaid shirt look effortless rather than overly preppy.

It's exactly the kind of piece I want for October: easy, layerable and very wearable.

WHY I LOVE IT

• Espresso brown plaid feels so right for fall
• Relaxed, easy silhouette
• A fresh update to the classic plaid shirt
• Looks great worn open as a lightweight layer
• Easy with denim, trousers + skirts
• Perfect under jackets once it gets cooler
• An affordable way to bring fall's brown palette into your closet

DEAR LUCY EDIT

PLAID DOESN'T HAVE TO FEEL PREPPY.

I'd wear this slightly oversized with relaxed denim + a brown loafer or suede boot.

Or leave it open over a white tee, push up the sleeves and add a great belt.

The key is keeping everything around it simple and a little undone.

ESPRESSO PLAID + DENIM + A GREAT SHOE. DONE. MAKES MY OCTOBER EDIT. ✓
