Product Insights
Le 31's Lattice Crochet-Knit Shirt is a Comfort Fit camp shirt with a relaxed, boxy silhouette and extra shoulder room, designed to be worn untucked. Its 50% cotton, 50% polyester lattice openwork knit and pointed camp collar create permanent ventilation channels that directly release heat, making it breathable for warm-weather wear. The tighter lattice pattern delivers a sharper, retro aesthetic compared to typical granny-square openwork. However, the delicate knit is sheer (requiring an undershirt) and prone to snagging and stretching; hand washing and laying flat to dry are necessary to preserve the fit and ventilation. Priced at $69 ($49.95 on sale), it offers breathability and a curated look from Simons' in-house brand, but demands careful handling and sacrifices versatility for its airy, untucked style.

Deep Research
Camp collar design and casual style
- Menswear historians define the camp collar shirt's native setting as pool parties, beach outings, backyard BBQs, patio dinners, and rooftop hangouts—exactly the kind of warm-weather, social casual occasions where this shirt's openwork lattice and relaxed collar feel most at home, offering a smarter alternative to a tee without the formality of a polo.
- The comfort fit's straight cut, roomy shoulders, and straight bottom hem mirror the camp shirt's traditional loose, almost boxy silhouette, engineered for an untucked, relaxed drape that reads as effortlessly casual.
- While classic camp shirts relied on smooth woven fabrics, the 'subtle changes in design and fabrics' observed in the camp collar's modern comeback are realized here in a lightweight, finely openworked cotton-blend knit, adding texture and a handcrafted feel to the breezy silhouette.
- This shirt's pointed open collar is the classic unstructured, lay-flat camp collar that creates a lower-cut v-neck—a design that made the camp shirt the go-to casual shirt for men across classes in mid-century America, seen on everyone from bowling teams to Sean Connery's James Bond.
Breathability and summer comfort
- The finely openworked lattice pattern creates a permanent network of ventilation holes through the fabric, allowing body heat and water vapor to escape directly instead of being trapped against the skin — a convective cooling mechanism that a solid, even lightweight, woven shirt cannot replicate.
Value against comparable openwork shirts
- The lattice crochet-knit openwork is a tighter, more angular geometry than the oversized granny-square motif on SUMWON’s $25 acrylic shirt, giving the Le 31 piece a sharper, less craft-fair aesthetic that transitions more smoothly from beach to evening drinks.
- Le 31’s ‘comfort fit’ specifies a straight cut with extra room in the shoulders and sleeves — a tailor-made accommodation for wider builds that the generic ‘regular fit’ of Mango’s $40-$48 openwork shirts and ZAFUL’s stretch version does not actively address, saving shoppers from sizing up and throwing off proportions.
- The ‘Le 31 exclusive’ tag signals that this is a Simons in-house brand, not a third-party label — a detail that typically correlates with more intentional design and quality screening than the anonymous crochet shirts flooding drop-ship platforms, where fabric consistency and stitching can be erratic.
- Priced at $50 CAD on sale, this shirt splits the difference between the under-$25 synthetic fast-fashion tier (ZAFUL, SUMWON) and the $40-$48 sale tier of Mango’s cotton-blend openwork knits — delivering a similar material story to Mango’s but with a more relaxed fit and the cachet of a department-store exclusive, making it a compelling alternative for those who value fabric over brand name.
- At its $50 CAD sale price, Le 31 uses a cotton-blend knit, whereas the openwork shirt at the ultra-budget tier from ZAFUL ($21 USD) is entirely polyester — for a summer garment worn next to skin, this means better moisture absorption and less of a plasticky hand, aligning it more closely with high-street blends that typically start around $40.

Sometimes it's good to be among the few having that special shirt. Being the only one you know having something makes you feel special. Although on the pricey side, couldn't find it elsewhere so it was worthed. Looks great, feels fantastic.
Q&A
4 answered- How should this crochet-knit shirt be washed and dried to prevent damage?
- For best care, hand wash this crochet-knit shirt in cold water with a mild detergent, gently agitate, and avoid wringing or twisting. Lay flat on a towel to air dry, reshaping if needed. Machine washing is not recommended, but if necessary, use a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle with cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry flat.
- Is the lattice knit sheer enough to require an undershirt for full coverage?
- Yes, the lightweight, finely openworked lattice knit is see-through, so an undershirt is recommended for full coverage. The product description notes it is a "lightweight, finely openworked cotton-blend knit," which typically means the fabric is sheer.
- How does the comfort fit compare to other Le 31 shirts? Does it run oversized or true to size?
- This shirt's comfort fit is consistent with other Le 31 comfort fit shirts, featuring a straight cut with room to move in the shoulders and sleeves. It is not oversized but designed for a relaxed, comfortable fit. Sizing is true to size for this fit style.
- Is the openwork knit prone to snagging or stretching out of shape over time?
- Like most crochet and openwork knits, this shirt can be prone to snagging and stretching if not handled carefully. To minimize damage, avoid sharp objects and rough surfaces, and follow gentle washing instructions — hand washing and laying flat to dry will help maintain its shape.
