The Donna Shirt

The Donna Shirt: Classic Style in Button-Down Shirts for Women

Classic Six named this cornerstone piece after a woman who never compromised—and neither does this shirt. Among all the button-down shirts for women crowding department store racks, the Donna stands apart through thoughtful details others overlook.

Most cotton shirts for women surrender after a few washes—collars wilt, buttons strain, hems twist. The Donna defies this pattern with premium cotton that maintains structure without sacrificing softness. The collar stays crisp through marathon days. The buttons rest precisely where needed—no awkward gaping, no constant readjusting.

While typical women's linen shirts wrinkle beyond recognition minutes after ironing, our linen blend retains its polish throughout your day. We tested countless fabric compositions before finding the perfect balance between breathability and structure—a shirt that handles summer heat while looking intentional, not rumpled.

Traditional office shirts for women force an impossible choice: professional but uncomfortable, or comfortable but sloppy. The Donna eliminates this false dilemma through a silhouette that looks tailored while feeling relaxed. The sleeves roll effortlessly for casual settings yet maintain crispness when worn long for meetings.

Unlike standard women's long tee shirts that lose shape after washing, the Donna's longer length stays consistent wash after wash. This extended cut pairs perfectly with leggings for casual days yet tucks smoothly into trousers for professional settings—the rare shirt that truly spans occasions.

Diana LoMonaco designed the Donna as a response to countless shirts that promised everything but delivered nothing. She obsessed over button placement, seam construction, and fabric weight until she created a shirt that solved multiple wardrobe challenges simultaneously.

The Donna doesn't try to be everything—it simply handles everything you need from a button-down. One exceptional shirt. Multiple styling options. Zero compromises.
