Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / a loose white button
English term or phrase: a loose white button
The XXXX 530 give off that Emily Oberg, Sporty & Rich look that’s constantly being added to moodboards. So for those looking to achieve that look for the fall, check out these medium-washed blue jeans from XXXX and this top from LOEWE. Adding ***a loose white button*** up would elevate the look, giving that late 1990s look that I’m pretty sure you’re looking to achieve with these kicks.

Ciao Pierfrancesco, credo che in italiano si dica semplicemente camicia. Immagino che in inglese si tende a specificare che ha i bottoni perché shirt colloquialmente può indicare anche la T-shirt.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ah... Dovrebbe essere la camicia senza bottoni al colletto (per distinguerla dalla bottom down). Ma esiste una definizione in italiano per questo tipo di camicia?

agree  Elena Pizzetti: concordo, anche se non userei il temine "ampia" ma magari "morbida" o "abbondante". concordo su usare semplicemente camicia; specificare in italiano che non ha i bottoni sul colletto mi sembrerebbe ridondante in questo contesto.
