une chemise qui traine


Explanation:
Only low confidence as I am not French - and not a fashion expert (!) - but I would understand this is "une chemise qui traine", "une chemise de trop", "une chemise en rade", "une vieille chemise", "une chemise dont vous ne savez que faire", etc....

I think "une chemise qui traine" might capture the spirit but whether it is the right register in French is another matter :)

The idea being of course to make use of this unused shirt by using it with a cardigan

agree  FX Fraipont (X): that's the way I see ittoo : une chemise isolée, pas coordonnée - Stray : found or occurring apart from others or as an isolated or casual instance; incidental or occasional.

  -> Thank you
neutral  Odile Raymond: it's definitely not the kind of register a publicist would use to help a store sell their clothes though, even if they wanted to promote a ragged look ;-) Well, I guess so : "Bus/Financial - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion"

  -> Is that the context? I was really only posting to help with the meaning of "stray" as I imagined that was the asker's main problem... :-)

chemise quelconque


Explanation:
Je vois à cette solution l'avantage de la généralité (tout type de chemise) et du ton légèrement péjoratif de "stray".

Le cardigan rehausse la chemise par ailleurs quelconque pour en faire un élément de style.

Les stray t-shirt sont souvent décorés mais je ne crois pas que ça soit le sens ici.
