Pip Durell doesn’t so much design shirts as refine a uniform. The London-based founder of With Nothing Underneath, the cult British label known for its wardrobe staples, began her career as a British Vogue stylist and Tatler editor before turning her attention to a more personal pursuit: the perfect shirt. What started in 2017 with altering men’s tailoring for her own wardrobe has since evolved into a collection of understated essentials, cut with a borrowed-from-the-boys ease and an unmistakably English sense of restraint. Grounded in sustainably made fabrics and an ethos of permanence over novelty, the pieces are designed to be worn without overthinking, lived in rather than styled up. For AIR SUPPLY, she shares the pieces she wears with nothing underneath

The Boyfriend Contrast Exaggerated Cuff and Collar Shirt

“It’s like choosing a favourite child! Not so hard when you put your mind to it. Crisp poplin, one more button undone than is deemed acceptable, rolled cuffs to show some wrist (ultimately sexy) and a masculine contrast collar. Practically perfect in every way.”

Polo

“When we were at boarding school my friend Daisy and I found ourselves on a train for an exeat with only one Jilly Cooper book between the two of us and so it was decided we would rip it down the middle so we could both enjoy her for the journey - it’s what Jilly would have wanted. When I think about all her books I realize she really shaped everything - mainly my penchant for behaving badly.

Ps. My goddaughters all receive a set of the Rutshire Chronicles for their birthdays as I really think it’s the best start they can get.”
