Marc O'Polo
Coffee Bouquet Boxy-Fit Voile Shirt
This is a boxy-fit voile shirt from Swedish brand Marc O'Polo, exclusively in Canada at Contemporaine. Made of woven 100% cotton voile with a slightly sheer, lightweight feel, it features a loose cropped fit, short flared sleeves, delicate ruching at the shoulders and back, and iridescent buttons down the front, with an allover dark floral print on a light beige background. Based on user feedback, the brand is known for good quality and materials, but prices are high so it is best purchased on sale, and sizing may run large.

Product Insights
The Coffee Bouquet Boxy-Fit Voile Shirt from Marc O'Polo is a limited-run seasonal blouse that delivers a cool, sculpted silhouette through its high-twist organic cotton voile and boxy cut with shoulder and back ruching, which provides airflow, movement, and a figure-flattering shape per shopper surveys. The cropped hem and dark brown print reduce sheerness and allow layering over high-rise bottoms. However, buyers should size down for the intended relaxed fit, and some find the quality worth only at a 30% discount. The voile resists stretching and fading with proper care, and iridescent buttons add subtle shine.

Positive assessment of Marc O'Polo quality and value
hey! I have a few items from them: pants, a wool-coat and a jacket for a few years now and I believe this is far away from fast fashion quality... in a good way! They do not use the cheapest materials, you get an overall good enough quality and (at least in Germany) nice stores with competent salesforce. Their pricetag is on the higher end though, lmao their stuff represent good value only if the items are in min 30% sale.

Experience with Marc O'Polo linen shirt sizing
Ordered one of their linen shirts once and also liked the fabric but the size was too big/long.
