What is a Versace silk shirt?

The Versace silk shirt is a long-sleeved, collared shirt in 100% silk twill, printed edge to edge. Silk twill has a fine diagonal weave. It holds colour brilliantly and has enough body to keep a collar crisp, so the print reads sharply instead of blurring.

Look closely and the details are consistent. There is a shirt collar, sometimes notched, and a front button closure. Many carry Medusa hardware, and some have a Versace Logo label. The cuts vary by style. The ‘Teatro’ and ‘Stolen Jewels’ shirts are regular fit, ‘The Meandros’ is slim and the ‘New Barocco’ shirt in white and gold is cropped.

Gianni Versace founded the label in Milan in 1978, and his gold Barocco print arrived on the 1991 runway. The shirt is the simplest way to wear that history every day. Read more about the founder in who was Gianni Versace.

Which Versace prints come on shirts?

The current shirts cover most of the house vocabulary. Barocco appears in several versions. The Printed Silk Shirt in Black and Print carries the classic Barocco print. ‘New Barocco’ comes in white and gold and in purple and gold. ‘Neoclassical Barocco’ comes in grey and black and in grey and pink.

Then there are the seasonal prints. ‘Teatro’ has a print of its own, and ‘The Sun’ arrives in yellow and pink with short sleeves. ‘Hanging’ Out’ sits on white silk. ‘Stolen Jewels’ comes in orange, and ‘Broken Jewels’ in green. ‘The Meandros’ comes in white and black, and its name recalls the meander. That is the Greek key, the same Greca border that frames the Medusa logo. Our guide to the Versace Medusa logo meaning explains that pairing.

Versace T-shirts: logo, Medusa and print

The Versace T-shirt is the quieter end of the edit. The white Stretch Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt has a v-neckline, ribbed trims and Medusa hardware. Its slim fit sits close without clinging. The same style comes in red, purple and burgundy, plus blue with red and blue with yellow.

For more of the logo, the Embroidered Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt in White has Medusa Logo embroidery on a crewneck. The Printed Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt in Pink carries the ‘Medusa Moneta’ print. At the entry point, the Stretch Viscose-Jersey T-Shirt in Black is USD 660 and has a Versace Logo motif. See the full range in T-shirts.

How do you wear a Versace shirt?

Treat the silk shirt as the statement and plan around it. Four looks work well.

• With tailoring: tuck a Barocco shirt into black trousers and add a gold belt. Browse tailored pants for the base.
• As a set: pair the Printed Silk Shirt in Black and Print with the Barocco pleated mini skirt for a full print look.
• With denim: wear a ‘The Sun’ short-sleeved shirt open over a white tank with straight blue jeans.
• By the sea: throw a printed shirt over a swimsuit as a cover-up, sleeves rolled.

Keep the jewellery gold and the shoes plain. A Versace print has strong colour, so anything else in the outfit should support it. A pair of Medusa earrings is enough. Our Versace jewellery guide lists the gold pieces that suit a print.

How do you care for a Versace silk shirt?

Printed silk twill is dry clean only. Between wears, steam it on a low setting and hang it on a padded hanger away from direct light, which can fade the print. Do not spray perfume directly onto silk.

Cotton-jersey T-shirts are easier. Wash them cold on a gentle cycle, dry them flat in the shade and iron on the reverse at a medium heat. Viscose-jersey T-shirts keep their finish best with dry cleaning. Check sizing before you buy with our Versace size guide; most Versace shirts are true to size.
