Product Insights
The Gexy Puff-Sleeve Striped Shirt from Vivienne Westwood is a recurring design that retains key construction details, offering sculptural puff sleeves—a Westwood hallmark—at a fraction of the cost of similar designer shirts. Its cropped hem (21 inches front, 18.5 inches back) and close fit via raglan sleeves and waist darts create a balanced silhouette, with vertical stripes offsetting sleeve volume. Designed to pair with high-rise trousers, the shirt features breathable poplin, a hidden placket, and classic stripes for versatile styling. Care requires machine washing at 30°C, air-drying, and ironing at 150°C with a pressing cloth.

| Gexy Puff-Sleeve Striped Shirt: Choose this if you want a sculptural, statement shirt with volume played through pronounced puff sleeves, ruffled elastic cuffs, a pointed collar, and a hidden full-length button placket in light blue and white vertical stripes. It is a cropped, close-fitting style cinched at the waist—about 21 inches from shoulder to hem and shorter at the back—so it suits those comfortable with a short, fitted cut, and it comes in soft stretch poplin of 72% cotton, 23% polyamide, and 5% elastane in sizes 40 to 46.[1,2,3] | Hebo T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a fitted, waist-length white tee with designer detailing: it takes the classic T-shirt in a single-sleeve direction with capped, outward-folded sleeves, a crew neckline, and an embroidered orb emblem on the left chest, in 100% organic cotton jersey. One commenter notes the plain jersey fabrication has little stretch, feeling like standard T-shirt material, so the fitted cut may feel snug if you prefer room to move.[4,5,6] | Hebo Ribbed T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a long-sleeve ribbed knit tee with designer asymmetry, including oblique shoulder details, a wide boat neckline, dropped shoulders, and a diagonal draped seam across the back. It's made of stretch jersey in a 95% cotton and 5% elastane blend, comes in small, medium, and large, and one commenter reported it looks and feels amazing while wearing their true size. Note that the retailer describes the style as fitted, though images show a softer, more relaxed drape on the model, and a commenter said the plain jersey fabrication of this top doesn't have much stretch.[6,7,8,9,10,11] |
