The shirt follows through with the romantic theme it has been exercising for the warmer seasons, made up of 100% soft cotton materials. It is adorned in [poetry drawn from the 19th century](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-book-tote) and informed with [colorblocking designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection) throughout the construction. The sleeves and the side vents are complete in bright red, whereas the base of the shirt highlights a chalky blue color.
