A denim shirt can look like a ranch hand or like a man who knows tailoring. The Luca Faloni version leans toward the second. It is cut from Italian denim, with a one-piece collar and mother-of-pearl buttons, so it dresses up more easily than the usual work shirt. This is our read of the brand's product page, not a wear test.

What it is

Luca Faloni calls it the Classic Denim Shirt. The brand says it is made in Northern Italy from Italian denim, pre-washed so it does not shrink later, with a rounded hem and "giglio" stitching. The collar is its Paramontura design, a single piece of fabric meant to hold its shape. Buttons are Australian mother-of-pearl.

Fit and price

You choose slim or regular. The regular fit is roughly 3 cm wider at the half waist, according to the brand, so pick it if you like room through the body. Luca Faloni listed the shirt at $225 on October 5, 2026. That is a premium price for denim, and it buys fabric, finishing and the Italian make rather than a logo.

How to wear it

The brand's own photos show it with grey trousers and white sneakers, and that is a good template: a mid-blue shirt, flat grey chinos and clean leather shoes. Roll the sleeves once and leave the top button open. For a smarter version, swap the sneakers for suede horsebit loafers.

In the office, treat it as a business casual piece. Our business casual guide and work capsule wardrobe explain where denim fits. Open, it also works as a light layer, the way we describe in how to wear an overshirt. More outfit ideas live in our Style hub.

The catch

You cannot try it on in a shop, so use the size guide and decide on slim or regular before you order. And at $225 it competes with plenty of good shirts. Buy it if you want one denim shirt that can sit between casual and smart.
