Blake Colorblock Shirt
The shirt that makes everyone else's look like they're trying too hard.
Color blocking meets sheer panels in strategic places — not random cutouts, but considered glimpses of skin where the design earns them. Full button closure with structured shoulders that hold their shape. The kind of shirt that looks effortless but clearly isn't.
Each colorblock section creates its own visual weight, turning a basic button-down into something you'll reach for when everything else feels predictable.
Wear it:
Tucked into high-waisted trousers for the presentation that actually matters.
Open over a camisole when dinner requires something with an edge.
The gift for someone who complains their work shirts are boring.

Getting Measured
How to Measure
Stand relaxed and upright in a natural posture. Don't hold your breath. Have someone else measure you when possible — it makes a real difference in accuracy.
The tape should lie flat and snug — you should be able to slip two fingers underneath comfortably. Never pulled tight or left loose enough to sag.
Take measurements over form-fitting undergarments only. For outerwear and coats, measure over a thin base layer to account for wearing ease.
When measurements fall between two sizes, consult the fit notes below. For knitwear, size down for a fitted look. For woven styles, size up for ease.
Fit Philosophy
Our Fit, Explained
Our cashmere knits are cut with generous ease for layering. If between sizes, size down for a more refined, fitted silhouette — particularly for crewnecks and cardigans.
Woven shirts and blouses run true to Quinn sizing. Slim through the chest and shoulder with a clean contemporary line. Fit to your chest measurement first.
Trousers sit at the natural waist with a tailored leg opening. Always reference the bottoms chart. When waist and hip suggest different sizes, choose the larger.
Shoulder fit is non-negotiable — always fit a sport coat to your chest and shoulder first. The body can be altered; the shoulder cannot. Then size the trousers to waist.
Our one-size pieces are cut to an intentionally generous range. Each product page lists the flat measurements clearly so you can verify the fit before ordering.
Our team wears the clothes. If you're caught between sizes or have an unusual fit challenge, reach out — we'll match you to the right size and cut personally.
Still unsure? Our team knows the fit.
