Product Insights
Contemporaine's Fluid Notched-Collar Shirt is a Simons-exclusive design that combines tailored detailing—a notched collar and back pleat—with a recycled polyester crepe that offers the handfeel and drape of virgin crepe. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant, drying quickly after washing or perspiration, making it ideal for travel. While the off-white color is semi-sheer and requires a nude underlayer, black and grey options are fully opaque. Priced at $49.95 on sale, it undercuts competitors like Aritzia while exceeding Uniqlo in design, offering a versatile piece suitable for both work and casual occasions.

A polished shirt for office and business casual days
This shirt is worn for office and business casual settings, where the notched collar and fluid drape give a professional look without stiffness. Customers report it tucks easily into tailored trousers for a put-together work outfit. Note these points come from a summary of customer reviews, so individual experiences may vary.[1]
Easy everyday errand-running top
A lightweight, comfortable shirt for everyday casual wear. Customers describe pairing it with jeans or shorts for an effortless errand-running look.[1]
A wardrobe chameleon for desk-to-dinner styling
Customer reviews describe this shirt as a workhorse capsule-wardrobe piece, with a versatile shape and neutral-adjacent colors that carry across seasons. Reviewers report styling it with everything from blazers and trousers to jeans and sneakers, taking it from desk to dinner.[1]

Shoppers describe this notched-collar shirt as ultra-lightweight and airy, with a feel so light some say it's barely there. It works for warm days on its own or as a layer without adding bulk.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Fluid Notched-Collar Shirt: Choose this if you want an ultra-light, fluid crepe shirt for office or business casual wear, with a notched collar, relaxed true-to-size fit that hits at the hip, and tonal buttons, in Black, Grey, or Off White. It is made entirely of 100% polyester from recycled plastic bottles, and reviewers describe it as a versatile desk-to-dinner piece for warm days or layering without bulk. Note that the fabric is thinner and more synthetic-feeling than photos suggest, so it may not suit you if you prefer a weightier silk-like drape, and on bustier figures the button front may gap when sitting or reaching—sizing up or a camisole underneath is suggested.[1] | Loose Fluid Satin Shirt: Choose this if you want a loose, fluid satin button-up with a polished drape that reviewers say works for both casual everyday wear and dressier occasions. It is made of satin that is 50% polyester and 50% polyester from recycled plastic bottles, with tone-on-tone buttons and buttoned barrel cuffs, offered in seven colors from Black to Mauve in sizes X-Small to X-Large. Note that the fit runs large for most reviewers — long and boxy in the body and sleeves — so check measurements or consider sizing down, and one petite reviewer found even the smallest size excessively long and wide.[2,3] | Silky Hidden Placket Shirt: Choose this if you want an ultra light, silky crepe blouse with a full-length hidden placket for polished office wear under blazers or dressed-up looks with jeans. Reviewers praise its soft, wrinkle-resistant fabric and easy machine-wash care, and it is made entirely of recycled polyester in a wide range of colors. Note that the relaxed, oversized cut runs large—many recommend sizing down, though petite frames may find it overwhelming—and the placket can pull or gape on fuller busts, while the fabric builds static in dry conditions.[4] |

Not a quality fabric
Looks so pretty online but the material was not great. This impacted the fit as well, with button gaps, etc. Couldn’t wear it.
Gorgeous!
Perfectly flowy, beautiful green/gray/blue colour. Very flattering.
Un chemisier doux et élégant
Tissu très doux. Belle coupe.
Correct
Le matériel est de moins bonne qualité que je m’y attendais. C’est correct mais sans plus. J’ai pris large et c’est un peu grand, la médium m’aurait mieux faite.
