Product Insights
The Small Contrasting Bows Shirt by Icône combines a polished, layered look with functional mobility, featuring three flat bows and a hidden placket for a sleek front under blazers, plus a box pleat adding 3 inches of fabric for shoulder reach. Made from recycled polyester that reduces CO₂ emissions by 30-60%, the fabric drapes smoothly, resists creasing and pilling, and offers strength comparable to virgin polyester. Priced at $59 CAD, it includes details typically found in $75+ shirts. The main tradeoff is that white and baby blue colorways may be slightly translucent, but the shirt's durable weave and box pleat maintain a fitted silhouette when sized down.
