A collar without a placket is a strange thing to do to a shirt. There are no buttons at the front at all - the collar sits on top of a neckline that simply falls open into a soft draped V, gathering into folds where a fastening would normally be.
That leaves the silk to do the work, and it does. The fabric pools rather than creases, catching light along the folds at the neck and releasing it flat across the body. Sleeves run full length into a plain cuff, the shoulders are left unstructured, and the body falls straight to a level hem.
It is a shirt that behaves like a blouse, and it is considerably easier to wear than either.
