poet shirts

Billowy sleeved garments

Poet shirts are loose-fitting blouses with billowing sleeves gathered at the wrist, often with a ruffled or lace-trimmed neckline.

The style evokes Romantic-era poets and has become associated with theatrical, Renaissance faire, or pirate costumes: He wore a poet shirt unbuttoned to mid-chest.

The garment appears in both men's and women's fashion, particularly in gothic and bohemian aesthetics.
