The Portofino Shirt – A Classic Women’s Shirt with Elegant Detail

A great shirt is one of the most timeless pieces in any wardrobe. Smart yet relaxed, structured yet soft — it’s that reliable go-to that works hard season after season. At Bond Street Store, we’re always looking for shirts that offer more than just the basics. That’s why we love the Portofino Shirt – a beautifully cut, flattering piece that’s packed with subtle, thoughtful detailing. And now, at just £34.99, it’s even easier to add it to your everyday wardrobe.

Handpicked by Ann Marie, this Women's Shirt is designed to bring both elegance and ease to your everyday outfits. Whether you’re dressing for lunch, layering for work, or heading out for the day, it’s one of those pieces that makes you feel instantly polished — without feeling overdone.

A Flattering Fit That Feels Effortless

The Portofino Shirt is all about soft structure. Made from a breathable 97% cotton with just a touch of elastane for added flexibility, it has a lovely smooth finish that moves with you. The cut is generous and easy-fitting, with a pit-to-pit measurement of 65cm and a length of 88cm, comfortably fitting UK sizes 10 to 18. It hangs just right — not too boxy, not too fitted — and on our model (5'6", size 12) it falls to the perfect length for styling over trousers or layering under knits.

The button-down front gives it a classic shirt feel, while the soft collar adds a more feminine edge — ideal for when you want something a little softer than a stiff formal shirt. Full-length sleeves are finished with elasticated cuffs, making them easy to pull up or push back for a relaxed look. The slight waterfall effect through the body adds gentle movement and a touch of layering that works beautifully with the rest of your wardrobe.

Ruffle Details That Elevate Everyday Dressing

What truly sets the Portofino Shirt apart are the gorgeous ruffle details. They bring a soft romantic feel to the piece without being over the top. These subtle ruffles give the shirt a more elevated, boutique look — something Ann Marie is always on the lookout for when sourcing from UK and European makers.

This isn’t fast fashion. It’s a shirt with personality — delicate, wearable, and quietly stylish. You’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again when you want a piece that’s both flattering and special.

Perfect Pairing with the Emily Denim Trouser

We love this shirt paired with the Emily Turn Up Hem Denim Trouser. The structured denim provides the perfect balance to the soft drape of the Portofino Shirt, creating a relaxed yet put-together silhouette that’s ideal for everyday wear. Whether you finish the look with trainers, loafers, or ankle boots, it’s a classic pairing that works across seasons.

The slightly longer hem of the shirt allows it to be worn untucked for that easy lagenlook-inspired style, or half-tucked for something a little more styled. Add a lightweight necklace or layered scarf and you’re ready to go.

A Wardrobe Hero, Now at £34.99

With its timeless shape, breathable fabric, and beautiful finishing touches, the Portofino Shirt is one of those pieces you’ll be glad you added to your collection. It looks just as good layered under cardigans as it does worn on its own, and it transitions effortlessly from season to season.

At just £34.99, it’s the perfect time to pick one up — either for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for someone who appreciates flattering, well-made fashion that’s just a little different.
