The Donny Shirt is a boxy pull-on top that is designed to be a workhorse in your
wardrobe. It is a dartless top with a lapel collar and patch pocket. The Donny is a great
everyday top that can be worn with practically anything. Because of its boxy silhouette, the Donny is comfortable but still cool. Pair it with jeans or a skirt, layer it over or under a dress - the sky’s the limit!
