Made of 100% cotton, these vintage men’s shirts come in sizes small to 2XL for every woman of every shape to enjoy. After carefully choosing each simple long-tailed shirt, artist and designer, Ronald Jackson, transform them into a work of art by tie-dying or painting each piece by hand. In using each shirt as the canvas of his creativity, he provides them with a uniqueness that you would be hard-pressed to find in other Spring pieces. No two tie-dye designs are the same and transform each fashionable piece into three-dimensional artwork for the fabulous femme.

These tie-dyed shirts come in a rainbow of colors that reflect every kind of mood that you’re in. Whether you’d like to add some sparkle to your style for a night out on the town or a burst of freshness to your daytime ensemble, they’re ideal for your Springtime wardrobe.

An innovative fashion force since 1978, Ronald Jackson has always had his finger on the pulse of artistic style. Featured in Vogue Magazine in 1984 as one of the creators of the ‘Downtown’ look, his tie-dye shirt collection has garnered fans in such high-profile stars as Diana Ross, Joan Jett, and Naomi Judd. While his striped tie-dyed shirts have been made famous by both Ross and Judd, his signature tie-dye shirt was brought to prominence by Jett. His mission to bring wearable art to the masses is what prompted Off Broadway Boutique to feature his shirts in our Spring collection.

After all, you deserve to look effortlessly fabulous this season!
