THE CROSSROADS SHIRT - STRIPES AND CHECKS
THE CROSSROADS SHIRT - STRIPES AND CHECKS
This statement-making button-down shirt is anything but ordinary. The half-and-half design brings together two different 100% cotton deadstock prints, paired to compliment each other in the coolest way.
I love mixing prints, so each shirt tells its own story with contrasting colours and textures. Because we use deadstock fabric, the cottons will have a slight variation in weight and feel - adding character to the piece.*
Key features include raglan sleeves for a relaxed fit and an elegantly draped back. A curved hemline that can be tucked into pants or skirts for a polished look, or leave it unbuttoned and untucked for a laid-back, casual vibe. The shirred cuffs are nice and stretchy, which means they'll stay in place when you push up the sleeves - super convenient on warmer days or when you're on the move!
The Crossroads Shirt is a standout piece - perfect if you love a little contrast in your wardrobe.
*Because of the slight variations in fabrics, if you have any sensory sensitivities, this may not be ideal, and I do understand. Please let me know, and we can chat about customising something else that feels right for you! (This goes for solid colours too.)

This shirt style brings a unique mix of prints to your wardrobe, perfect for making a statement. Pair it with our Don't Look Back Flare Pant or Follow My Lead Pant.
Tuck the shirt in for a sophisticated vibe, or wear it untucked with the collar loosened for a more relaxed feel.
Each shirt has neutral tones in the print (navy in the stripes-flamingos; or chocolate in the stripes-checks) which make it versatile enough to match with most colours of pants, skirts, shorts, or denim already hanging in your wardrobe.
Don't forget you can push the cuffs to just below the elbow and 'puff' out the sleeves for some drama. It is such a cool and unique look (plus it keeps you cool on the warmer days).

Is Mad Nomad a plus sized brand?
We currently offer sizes ranging from 14-24 (NZ/AUS). While some may classify this range as “plus size”, we simply see them as sizes for women. I decided to start with this range because I believe these sizes are often overlooked in the market and deserve attention. In the future, I’d like Mad Nomad’s size range to expand to include sizes 6-30. However, we’re taking a slow approach to make sure we nail the perfect fit of our current range before doing so.
How do I know what my size is?
I recommend referring to our size guide (link located under the price of each product), which provides detailed measurements for each size. Please don’t rely on traditional “plus sizes”, as our range is quite different. Given the variation in sizing across brands, I encourage you to go by your own measurements. If you need personalised assistance or have any questions, let's set up a 15 min Q&A session via phone or Zoom - BOOK NOW – I’m here to help you find the perfect fit!
Are your garments sustainably made?
Yes, sustainability lies at the heart of Mad Nomad. While it’s important to understand that every fabric choice carries an environmental impact, I’m dedicated to choosing materials and production methods that minimise our footprint on the planet. As someone relatively new to the sustainability side of the fashion industry, I’m constantly learning. I am committed to staying informed about new, innovative materials and processes to continually improve our practices.
Where are your clothes manufactured?
Our sewn garments are proudly made-to-order in Canterbury, NZ, by a total superstar named Renee, and for our merino knits we have been working with Textile Creations in Auckland, NZ. You can read more about our process and sustainability efforts here.
