{"product_id":"xirena-blouse-brie-top-ginger-brown","title":"Xirena | Brie Ruffle Popover Top - Gingham Ginger-Brown","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrie arrives in a gingham check that reads equal parts nostalgic and now, its ginger-brown checks giving the top a warmth that plain cotton rarely achieves. The design draws on the henley, but softens the reference: a popover silhouette with a short front placket replaces the full button-down, so the top slips on with none of the fuss of a traditional shirt. Ruffles trace the neckline, run down the placket and finish the sleeve edges, turning a classic check shirt into something considerably more directional without tipping into costume.\n\nThe fabric is a cotton blend with added stretch, woven into that signature gingham pattern at 88% cotton and 12% polyester. The result is a cloth with real body and a crisp hand, but one that gives with movement rather than fighting it. Gingham has a way of looking both structured and easy at once, and this blend leans into that duality: substantial enough to hold the ruffle detailing crisply, soft enough to sit comfortably against the skin through a full day of wear. The stretch content matters more than it might seem on paper. It is what allows the popover cut to move with the body instead of straining across it, and what keeps the ruffled placket lying flat rather than pulling.\n\nCut with the relaxed proportions of a popover top, Brie sits away from the body through the torso, with the henley placket anchoring the neckline and giving structure to what is otherwise a loose, easy shape. The ruffles are the focal point of the construction: rather than being appliquéd as an afterthought, they run continuously through the neck opening, down the placket and along the sleeve hems, creating a rhythm that ties the whole top together. The sleeves themselves fall at a length that pairs equally well rolled or left long, and the check pattern is engineered to match cleanly at the seams, a small detail that speaks to the level of finishing throughout.\n\nIn motion, the ruffles give Brie a gentle sway that a flat-front shirt simply cannot replicate, catching light and movement at the neckline and cuffs. This is a top built for the transitional months, when a cotton weight with stretch reads right whether the temperature calls for bare arms or a layer underneath. It moves easily from a desk to lunch to an early evening out without needing to change register.\n\nStyle it loose over tailored trousers for a look that plays structured against relaxed, or tuck it into a high-waisted denim skirt to let the ruffled neckline and placket take centre stage. For cooler days, a fine-knit cardigan or a tailored blazer layers cleanly over the popover shape without disrupting the ruffle detailing at the shoulder line. Brie works equally well dressed down with trainers or dressed up with a heeled mule, making it one of those rare check shirts that reads as considered rather than merely casual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XIRENA","offers":[{"title":"GINGER BROWN \/ XS","offer_id":41823237603461,"sku":"443 BRIE TOP","price":1890.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GINGER BROWN \/ S","offer_id":41823237570693,"sku":"443 BRIE TOP","price":1890.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/XIRENA-443_BRIE_TOP-GINGER_BROWN_01.jpg?v=1787437102","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/xirena-blouse-brie-top-ginger-brown","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
