Description
A black cotton shirt, plain on purpose
This black cotton shirt by Lakerta does one thing and does it calmly. It has a classic collar, a row of buttons and long sleeves, in a smooth fabric of 90% cotton and 10% spandex. There is no print, no trim and no logo in sight.
It is a women's shirt and it comes in sizes M and L. The maker's table gives a chest of 86 cm for M and 91 cm for L.

The piece: model 208691 by Lakerta
Lakerta lists model 208691 under shirts for women and describes it as classic, with a standard length. We sell it in black only.
In the photos the cut is roomy. The shoulder seams sit a little below the shoulder and the sleeves end in wide cuffs that reach the hand. Across the upper back runs a seam, the way you know it from a men's shirt. That borrowed shape is the charm of it, and it may be why this page used to call it a men's shirt. It isn't one.
Who it's for
For you if you keep reaching for the same black top and want one with a collar. A shirt like this takes you from a desk to a dinner without a change of clothes.
It suits you if you like cotton on your skin and a fit with some air in it. There are only two sizes, M and L, so have a look at the size chart before you decide.

We have two photos of this shirt, a front and a back. Neither shows a chest pocket, and the maker does not mention one.
Fabric and feel: cotton with some stretch
The fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex. The maker calls it smooth. In the photos it looks crisp and matte, and it holds the shape of the collar and the cuffs.
The spandex is there for movement. Ten percent is a fair amount for a shirt, so expect the fabric to give when you reach or bend your arms. The maker does not state a fabric weight.
Fit and sizes: M and L
The maker's table lists three measurements. In M the inner sleeve is 51 cm, the outer sleeve 61 cm and the chest 86 cm. In L those are 53, 63 and 91 cm. The table gives no body length. The maker only says the length is standard, and in the photos the back reaches over the hips.
The table does not explain how the chest was measured. Lay a shirt you like flat, measure it and compare. On the model the shirt hangs loose, with room in the body and the sleeves.

Styling: one shirt, a few directions
The model wears it tucked into black wide trousers with a brown belt. All black with one warm accent is an easy formula to copy, and the belt is what keeps it from looking flat.
The maker says the length works with trousers and with skirts. With a midi skirt, tuck in the front and let the back hang. Over jeans you can leave it open over a white vest and roll the cuffs back once. For a formal day, button it to the top and add small gold-tone earrings.
Occasions
The maker names everyday wear, work and formal occasions. A black shirt covers all of those. Wear it to the office on Monday, and wear it again on Saturday with different trousers.
It is also a safe choice for the days when you don't know the dress code: a job interview, a school evening, a funeral.
Care: follow the label
The maker's data has no care instructions, so go by the label sewn into the shirt.
A general tip for black cotton: wash it inside out with other dark colours, and it will stay black for longer.
The wow detail: the cuffs
The cuffs are wide and long enough to fall onto the hand. Fold them back once and the shirt looks relaxed. Leave them down and buttoned and it looks sharp. It is a small thing, and it gives you two shirts in one.
