Vilagallo Shirts: 6 Prints That Bring the Personality
The Vilagallo shirts in store right now are some of my favourites in a while. Vilagallo is a Spanish design house, founded in Barcelona, with a proper love of print. The shirts are the signature. The dresses, blazers and knitwear all carry the same sense of colour.
There is a category of clothing I think about as wearable joy. Pieces that are well cut and properly made, but also have something to say. Vilagallo shirts sit right in that category.
When customers ask me what makes a piece feel special, the answer is usually the detail. A ric-rac trim. A hand-feel print. A clever button. Vilagallo never forget the detail.

The Vilagallo shirts we love right now
There are three Vilagallo shirts I keep returning to. Each one tells a slightly different story.
The Quirky Quotes Palm Tree Shirt is the conversation starter. Off-white linen, palm trees, hand-feel print. Easy with jeans on a Tuesday, easy with white trousers on a Saturday. The Sellos Travel Stamp Print Shirt is the editorial favourite, a pattern of stamps, postmarks and travel labels in soft blues and warm reds. The Blue Green Tropical Leaf Print Shirt is the holiday piece you can wear at home.
The standout dresses and blazers
Vilagallo's prints really come into their own on the dresses. The Brenda Navy Ikat Palmera Print Dress is the headline this season. Deep navy, painterly ikat, palm tree motifs. A piece that does the work of an outfit on its own.
The Selva Green Blue Print Shirt Dress is the easier sister. A relaxed shirt dress shape, lovely with sandals on a warm day.
For tailoring, the Vichy Navy Blue White Gingham Seersucker Blazer is the standout. A proper print blazer, cut as cleverly as anything plain. Throw it over jeans and a t-shirt, or layer it over a print dress for a fully Vilagallo moment.
What to wear them with
A print shirt earns its place because it does so many jobs. With jeans and a sandal, it is a Saturday morning. With white trousers and an espadrille, it is lunch. Over a swimsuit, it is the holiday cover up you will actually wear. The trick is letting the shirt do the talking and keeping everything else quiet.
Why Vilagallo keeps a place in the boutique
We have stocked Vilagallo for a long time now, and the customers who love it really love it. We usually carry the full Vilagallo collection across shirts, dresses and tailoring each season. If you want a printed piece that lasts beyond a single summer, Vilagallo is where I would start.
I should mention the embroidery too. The Bordado White Eyelet Embroidered Shirt is a quieter piece, all whitework and craftsmanship. Proof that Vilagallo can do soft as well as bold.
You can come and see the whole edit at the boutique in Shaftesbury, or browse our shirts online whenever suits you. The collection sits alongside our latest new arrivals across the rest of the boutique.
