Product Insights
The Contemporaine Cropped Pleated-Sleeve Poplin Shirt is a 100% cotton poplin piece that balances breathability and structure: its open weave, cropped boxy fit, and lightweight fabric keep you cool, while soft puff sleeves and a back pleat add structured volume that works under a blazer or untucked over jeans. The tradeoff is that the fabric wrinkles naturally with wear and the white version is nearly sheer, requiring an undershirt for formal occasions, but these qualities embrace a casual, airy aesthetic that dresses up or down—white pairs with blazers for polish, baby blue leans weekend casual, and the crisp hand maintains silhouette despite billowing sleeves.
Verified claims
- Breathability
- Open cotton poplin weave and cropped boxy fit keep you cool and dry in humid summer.
- Maintenance
- The breathable cotton poplin fabric wrinkles with wear, but the relaxed fit embraces the casual look.
- Hand feel
- Smooth, crisp poplin with a fine horizontal rib; crisper than oxford cloth but softer than broadcloth.
- Drape
- Thin, airy poplin allows billowing at sleeves and pleat while crisp hand maintains boxy silhouette.
- Care
- 100% cotton poplin creases naturally with wear; irons for polish or wears casually wrinkled.
- Fabric performance
- The lightweight, crisp poplin is breathable and drapes cleanly, with wrinkles that work dressed up or down.
- Sheerness
- The white version is nearly sheer, needing an undershirt for formal wear but feeling airy for casual.
- Color versatility
- White works with blazers for dressy looks; baby blue leans weekend casual.
- Design silhouette
- Subtle puff sleeves and a back pleat give structured volume that works under a blazer or untucked.
- Wrinkle tendency
- Wrinkles appear with wear; look casual when untucked; vary by color.
- Pleat and puff structure
- Puff sleeves are softly gathered at the cap; back pleat shapes the boxy fit without bulk.
- Fabric behavior
- Lightweight poplin allows sleeves to billow while maintaining boxy crop shape.
- Fabric texture
- Fine horizontal rib texture adds depth without distracting from sleeve pleats.
- Fit construction
- Soft puff sleeves and back pleat give the boxy fit structured volume.
- Fabric quality
- 100% cotton poplin is nearly sheer in white and highly breathable.
- Styling
- Designed to be worn untucked over jeans; white version layers under a blazer.
- Opacity
- Nearly sheer white poplin requires a camisole for modesty.

Not what I expected
Very boxy and fabric wasn't as quality as expected
Chemisier
Super beau et d’une très belle qualité
Hum …
Habituellement je prends une taille au dessus pour être sure que ça m'aille. Mais là, apparemment, ceux qui fabriquent oublient des centimètres ; de ce fait, le vêtement est trop serré.
