Product Insights
Soul of London's Art Deco Flower Shirt in modern fit offers a tailored silhouette with extra chest and waist room that preserves the floral pattern on athletic builds. The dark burgundy base, a historically deliberate Art Deco color, anchors the print for office appropriateness while the structured floral makes it evening-ready, worn tucked or untucked. A 97% cotton, 3% spandex blend provides light stretch recovery and reduces wrinkling; washing inside out in cold water on gentle cycle and air drying maintains spandex elasticity. At 69 CAD, this shirt bridges office and after-dark events with versatile styling.
- Fit
Modern fit: 1 more chest, 4 more waist than slim; tailored silhouette.
Why this is supported
The modern fit provides 1-inch more chest room and 4-inches more waist room than a typical slim fit, creating a slightly tapered silhouette. It avoids the skin-tight feeling of slim fits:
Unlike traditional or regular fit shirts, modern fit shirts feature a more tailored and refined silhouette without the skin tight fullness associated with slim fits.
nimble-made.comMovement comfort is enhanced by natural armholes:
It features more relaxed armholes and fuller sleeves than a slim fit shirt, with more room in the shoulders and chest, while still tapering at the waist for a fitted, body-conscious silhouette.
oliverwicks.comThis accommodates athletic builds:
Athletic builds with broader shoulders and a defined chest often look exceptional in modern fit. The extra room accommodates muscle without creating the pulling or stretching you might see in a slim cut.

- Versatility
Worn tucked or untucked; works for both office and evening.
Why this is supported
The modern fit's tailoring makes it versatile across settings. It is designed to be worn both tucked and untucked, with a hem length suited to both styles. According to one source:
