Streetwear fashion label COMME des GARÇONS challenges new design concepts as it drops the Striped Cotton Harness shirt for the season. At the foundational design of the piece is a simple striped button-up top, which boasts formal elements.
To challenge the structural base are some details that draw more rugged details in the form of three buckles that look like a strapped-in look. The shirt showcases a color palette of white and blue with striped detailing and is constructed from 100% cotton materials. The silhouette features a spread collar at the top of the design with button-down shoulder epaulets traveling down. Rounding out the design are some single-button barrel cuffings. The juxtaposing button-up shirt is now available for purchase at Barney's.
