The Unisex Boxy Patch Pocket Shirt: Utility Meets Editorial
The short sleeve shirt is one of the most versatile pieces in a wardrobe — and one of the easiest to get wrong. Too slim and it restricts. Too casual and it reads as an afterthought. The Done State Unisex Boxy Patch Pocket Short Sleeve Shirt gets it right.
The Boxy Cut
Boxy isn't baggy. A boxy cut is a deliberate silhouette — straight through the body, with a hem that sits at the hip and shoulders that drop slightly for a relaxed, structured look. It's the cut that works across body types without compromise and photographs with the kind of intentionality that slim cuts rarely achieve.
The Done State version is cut unisex — no gendered proportions, no vanity sizing. Just a shirt that fits.
The Patch Pocket
The patch pocket is a utility detail that earns its place aesthetically. It breaks the chest panel, adds visual interest, and references workwear heritage without being costume-y about it. It's a small detail that signals considered design.
The Fabric
Built from quality cotton that holds its structure through repeated wear and washing. Not so stiff it needs breaking in for weeks. Not so soft it loses its shape after a season. The right weight for a short sleeve shirt that works from late spring through early autumn.
How to Wear It
The Unisex Boxy Patch Pocket Short Sleeve Shirt is a transitional season anchor:
- Open over a heavyweight tee for a layered warm-weather look
- Buttoned up and tucked into barrel leg jeans for a more structured outfit
- Worn alone with straight leg denim and clean trainers
- As a lightweight layer under the Denim Vintage Washed Jacket in cooler weather
The Done State Standard
A shirt is only as good as its construction — the quality of the buttons, the finish of the seams, the way the collar sits after a hundred washes. The Done State Unisex Boxy Patch Pocket Short Sleeve Shirt is built to pass that test. Every time.
