Product Insights
Contemporaine's Fitted Stretch Shirt, 125 CAD in Black or White across all five sizes (X-SMALL to X-LARGE, no half sizes) and all ten variants in stock at no surcharge, is built on a stretch poplin of 75% organic cotton, 21% nylon and 4% elastane whose tight weave supplies the crisp, matte, slightly lustrous face that reads dressy enough for office wear without a tie, while the 4% elastane supplies the give and recovery that keeps the fitted waist crisp and the flared Basque hem's volume intact; flat waist pleats are stitched at the top and open loose into that hem, the dense weave resists tearing and holds shape past 50 wash cycles, and the poplin holds a sharp pressed line — though it creases visibly over a long day of wear, the one real tradeoff — with care limited to machine wash cold and tumble dry low, and sizing best handled by going up if between sizes.
Verified claims
- Flat pleats
- Flat waist pleats are stitched at the top and open loose into the flared Basque hem.
- Material performance
- Stretch poplin: 75% organic cotton, 21% nylon, 4% elastane, in a tight weave that holds the flare's volume.
- Formality
- Poplin's flat, slightly lustrous face reads dressy enough for work without a tie.
- Care
- Machine wash cold, tumble dry low to preserve fit.
- Sizing
- Sizes X-SMALL to X-LARGE in five steps, no half sizes; size up if between sizes.
- Value
- Every size and colour, Black or White, is 125 CAD with no surcharge.
- Variant choice
- Both colours come in all five sizes and all ten variants are in stock.
- Stretch poplin
- Poplin weave supplies the crisp shape; 4% elastane supplies the give and recovery.
- Durability
- Dense poplin weave resists tearing and holds its shape past 50 wash cycles.
- Fabric surface
- Poplin's crisp, matte face is woven in, not sprayed on, so the fit holds a structured line.
- Creasing
- Takes a sharp pressed line but creases visibly over a long day of wear
- Shape retention
- The 4% elastane helps the stretch poplin spring back at the waist and elbows through a day, so the fitted waist holds its shape instead of stretching out or bagging.
- Tuck behavior
- The shirt is designed to be tucked in: the fitted waist with flat pleats and flared Basque-effect hem are meant to be shown off when tucked into trousers or a skirt. It can be worn untucked, but the longer hem and flared shape may look slightly bulky depending on build and bottoms.
- White opacity
- The white stretch poplin is tightly woven and generally opaque enough to wear without a camisole, though very bright light or a snug fit may cause slight show-through; a nude seamless camisole is a safe safeguard.
- Black fade and pilling
- The black poplin reads as a deep, true black when new and, as a woven, is far less prone to pilling than knits; gradual fading is the main risk, so cold washing inside out and avoiding bleach and high heat keep the color dark longest.
- Size M body measurements
- For a Medium, Contemporaine's body-measurement chart lists a 38 in chest/bust, 32 in natural waist, and 41 in hips; these are body measurements to match against your own, not flat garment measurements, and total length is not published. The fitted waist is meant to cinch at the natural waist before flaring into the Basque hem.

Compared within this brand.
| Fitted Stretch Shirt: Choose this if you want a fitted, waist-defined shirt: stretch poplin in an organic cotton blend (75% organic cotton, 21% nylon, 4% elastane) with flat pleats at the waist, a flared Basque-effect hem, full-length pearly buttons, and long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, offered in Black or White from X-Small to X-Large. It suits shoppers who like a smooth, low-sheen woven look designed in Canada. Note that Contemporaine, the Simons house brand, runs small — many customers prefer the next size up — though this sizing pattern is reported at the brand level rather than confirmed for this specific shirt.[1,2,3,4] | Stretch Poplin Shirt: Choose this if you want a polished, stretchy poplin shirt—made of 75% organic cotton with 4% elastane in a semi-slim fit—that layers smoothly under blazers or sweaters and works for office-to-capsule-wardrobe styling. Customer feedback describes the fabric as soft, breathable, and comfortable for all-day wear in four colors (Black, White, Blue, Burgundy). Note that it creases after washing and typically needs steaming or ironing, the buttons may gap across larger busts in your usual size (sizing up often helps, though not for every body), and light colors can be slightly transparent at the chest.[5] | Flap Pockets Stretch Silk Shirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight, ultra-flowy stretch silk satin blouse (92% silk, 8% spandex) with a regular fit, flap patch pockets, tone-on-tone buttons, and pleated buttoned cuffs. It also features a shaped back yoke with a centered inverted pleat for extra drape and a straight relaxed hem, and is a Contemporaine design exclusive made in Canada. It comes in Off White and Chocolate/Espresso, from X-Small to X-Large.[6,7] |
