Butterfly Night Sky
Inspired by nature and brought to life with super-soft silk, Silken Favours – the brainchild of British designer Victoria Murdoch – create beautiful, luxurious clothes and homewares which should be kept far away from small sticky hands. The ‘Butterfly’ shirt is our current favourite.

Chambray Coco Shirt
Baukjen do the best wardrobe staples, and the new Chambray version of their popular Coco Shirt is no exception. Perfect worn with their leather pencil shirt, it can also be teamed with leggings, black jeans, or pretty much anything else. A true investment piece.

Check Shirt With Pocket
Part of Zara’s excellent SS15 collection, the ‘Check Shirt With Pocket’ is 100 per cent cotton and machine washable. It is also comfy, goes with everything, and won’t break the bank. Now we’re talking.

Tencel Large Pocket Shirt
Made from a super soft tencel fabric, this pale blue number is a brilliant all-rounder. Finished with a split hem, panelled fabric and darker contrast overstitching, it is also machine washable – so you needn’t worry about the number of child-related stains you’re likely to incur in any given day.

Silk Satin Shirt
Trust us, this one looks better one than off. Perfect with a slick of red lipstick and tight black trousers – and flattering for almost all skin tones – this pearlescent offering from Topshop Boutique is our top pick for a (rare) night out.
