How the Louis fits into a small wardrobe

Louis · The Denim Shirt

Oct 31, 2026·

There is a version of this top in every shop. What separates the Louis is the cloth: cotton, dyed light grey, and finished without shortcuts.

How to wear it

It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes light grey rather than contrasts with it.

Care

Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.

Fit

Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.

Fabric

The cloth is cotton. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

In short: a cotton top that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
