W5506 Shirt - Black Oversized Flared Viscose Wool Gauze Puff Sleeves Asymmetric Metal Buttons Women's Italian

Regular price €139.00 EUR

A Shirt That Has Forgotten How to Be Quiet.

The W5506 is an oversized flared shirt in viscose-wool gauze — 80% viscose, 20% wool — with asymmetric cuts at the front and back, puff sleeves, and metal button closure and cuffs. The gauze is sheer and textured; the flared silhouette creates volume that moves with every step; the puff sleeves add drama at the shoulder; the asymmetric cuts at the front and back ensure the shirt reads differently from every angle. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Shirt Is Different

  • Viscose-Wool Gauze: 80% viscose, 20% wool — an open-weave gauze that is simultaneously sheer and warm. The viscose gives the gauze its fluid drape and softness; the wool adds a subtle texture and warmth that prevents the sheerness from reading as purely delicate. The gauze is transparent enough to reveal the body beneath, textured enough to hold its own as a fabric.
  • Puff Sleeves: Gathered at the shoulder and fitted at the cuff, the puff sleeves create a dramatic volume at the arm that collapses to a precise metal button cuff at the wrist. The contrast between the gathered volume above and the fitted closure below is a deliberate design tension.
  • Asymmetric Front and Back Cuts: The shirt is cut asymmetrically at both the front and the back — the hem falls unevenly, creating different silhouettes from different angles. The asymmetry is built into the pattern, not achieved through styling.
  • Flared Silhouette: The body of the shirt flares from the shoulder — creating volume and movement that is amplified by the fluid drape of the viscose-wool gauze. Unlike standard oversized shirts that simply fall straight, the W5506 has a deliberate flare that creates a skirt-like volume at the hem.
  • Metal Button Closure and Cuffs: Metal buttons at the front closure and at the cuffs — a cool, industrial detail that contrasts with the soft, sheer gauze. The metal hardware adds weight and precision to a fabric that is otherwise entirely fluid.
  • Made in Italy: Gauze construction, puff sleeve pattern, asymmetric cutting, and finishing all completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

The Moment You Put It On

The gauze moves before you do. The viscose-wool blend is fluid and textured simultaneously — sheer enough to reveal the body beneath, substantial enough to hold the flared silhouette. The puff sleeves gather at the shoulder and collapse to the metal button cuff at the wrist — a shape that is dramatic from the front and precise at the detail.

The asymmetric cuts mean the shirt reads differently from every angle. From the front, the hem falls unevenly; from the back, a different asymmetry. The flared body catches the air as you move, the gauze billowing and settling with each step. This is not a shirt that stays still.

The Art of Viscose-Wool Gauze

Gauze is an open-weave fabric — the threads are spaced apart rather than woven tightly, creating a sheer, airy surface with visible texture. In the W5506, the gauze is a viscose-wool blend (80% viscose, 20% wool): the viscose gives the gauze its drape and softness, while the wool adds a subtle warmth and texture that prevents the sheerness from reading as purely delicate. The result is a fabric that is simultaneously transparent and substantial — sheer enough to reveal the body beneath, textured enough to hold the flared silhouette and the puff sleeve volume without collapsing. Unlike standard viscose gauze, the wool content gives the W5506 a depth and warmth that reads as more considered, more elevated.

The Art of the Puff Sleeve

The puff sleeve is a construction technique where excess fabric is gathered at the shoulder seam, creating volume at the top of the sleeve that collapses to a fitted finish at the cuff. In the W5506, the puff is constructed in viscose-wool gauze — a fabric that holds the gathered volume without stiffening, allowing the puff to move and breathe rather than sitting rigidly. The metal button cuff at the wrist provides the precise closure that anchors the drama of the puff above. The contrast between the gathered volume at the shoulder and the fitted metal button at the wrist is the defining detail of the sleeve.

How to Wear It

  • Open, Over a Bodysuit: Wear open over a fitted black bodysuit or bra — the flared gauze falls away from the body, the asymmetric hem creating movement at the front and back.
  • Buttoned, Alone: Button fully and wear alone as a dress — the flared silhouette and asymmetric hem create a complete look without additional pieces.
  • Tucked into Trousers: Tuck the front hem into high-waisted wide-leg trousers — the puff sleeves and flared back remain visible, the metal buttons at the cuffs adding a precise finish.
  • Belted: Add a wide belt at the waist to define the silhouette and change the proportion of the flared body — the puff sleeves remain the focal point above.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash cold — the wool content in the gauze requires gentle handling to prevent felting
  • Do not machine wash — the wool gauze will felt or distort in a machine cycle
  • Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve the gauze structure and flared silhouette
  • Do not iron directly — steam only at low temperature to preserve the gauze texture
  • Do not bleach
  • Store hung to preserve the flared silhouette and puff sleeve shape
