Flora Shirt

This OpéraSPORT shirt is rendered in a lightweight, sheer mesh, defined by a dense, all-over floral embroidery that gives the fabric a graphic, dimensional weight. The cut adopts the architecture of a classic button-down with a pointed collar and straight hem, contrasting the formality of a shirt with the transparency of lingerie. It functions best as a layering piece, designed to expose the texture of whatever is worn underneath.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is composed of 100% recycled polyester, a petroleum-based plastic fiber that inhibits natural skin respiration and thermoregulation. The use of recycled synthetics also introduces concerns regarding microplastic shedding and the potential for residual chemical catalysts from the recycling process to remain trapped in the mesh weave.
