Product Insights

The Fitted Stretch Shirt by Contemporaine is a career wardrobe staple that delivers an elongated hourglass silhouette through a Basque hem and flat pleats, designed to be tucked in smoothly without riding up. Its stretch poplin fabric—a breathable organic cotton-nylon-elastane blend—recovers shape, resists wrinkles, and accommodates movement, though white may show through in bright light and untucked wear can appear bulky. At $125 CAD, it offers dressmaker details comparable to blouses over $150, with exclusive in-house Canadian design as an alternative to Zara and COS. True-to-fit sizing from X-SMALL to X-LARGE; size up if between sizes.

Verified claims

Sizing
Size options: X-SMALL to X-LARGE; true to fit; size up if between sizes.
Tucking
Basque hem lies smooth when tucked; untucked may appear bulky.
Opacity
White may show through in bright light; size up for opaque coverage.
Flat pleats
Flat pleats prevent pulling; stretch poplin keeps pleats crisp.
Basque hem
Basque hem prevents riding up when tucked and its flare elongates the torso.
Stretch poplin
Stretch poplin bends with movement, recovers shape, and flexes for sizing.
Value
Dressmaker fit details at $125 CAD; comparable blouses cost over $150.
Material performance
Organic cotton-nylon-elastane poplin holds shape, resists wrinkles, and feels crisp.
Care
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low to preserve fit.
Design provenance
Contemporaine is a Simons in-house label for career women, designed by 50 designers and comparable to Zara and COS.
Fit and design
Fitted waist with flat pleats and Basque hem is designed to be tucked in, creating an elongated hourglass silhouette.
Design exclusivity
Exclusive in-house Canadian design makes it a distinctive alternative to Zara and COS.
Tuck performance
Basque hem and flat pleats keep the shirt smoothly tucked in high-waisted trousers.
Untucked styling
Worn untucked, the hem and flare may look bulky depending on build and bottoms.
Layering design
Camisole layers smoothly under the fitted waist; design prevents bunching.
Shape retention
Elastane recovers stretch, preventing baggy elbows and keeping pleats crisp.
Wrinkle resistance
Stretch poplin reduces creasing from sitting, requiring less ironing.
Breathability
Breathable cotton wicks moisture, reducing odor and allowing multiple wears.
Button accent
Full-length tone-on-tone pearly buttons create a lengthening vertical line and are a deliberate in-house design choice for a modern classic look.
