Product Insights
The Loose Striped Lightweight Poplin Shirt from Contemporaine, an exclusive Simons in-house brand designed in Canada, pairs an elevated structured look with a loose, breathable fit via a back pleat and pleated cuffs—details absent from fast-fashion alternatives. Its 100% cotton poplin resists shrinkage and retains shape but wrinkles easily, demanding ironing after washing, though the crispness returns after care. The back pleat ensures true-to-size ordering despite Contemporaine's typically small fit, and the opaque, lightweight fabric allows undershirt-free wear. At $29.95 clearance, it undercuts Old Navy and Target striped poplin shirts, offering a reliable, breathable tradeoff: superior design and shape retention versus regular pressing.
Verified claims
- Price vs fast fashion
- Clearance price $29.95 beats Old Navy $39.99 and Target $38 striped poplin shirts.
- Cotton poplin quality
- 100% cotton poplin is breathable and holds its shape through washes, though it wrinkles easily.
- Design and tailoring
- Back box pleat and pleated buttoned cuffs are tailored finishing details that give the shirt a more structured, boutique-level design than typical fast-fashion button-downs.
- Fit reliability
- Loose cut and back pleat make true-to-size ordering reliable despite brand's small fit.
- Breathability
- Lightweight 100% cotton poplin and a loose fit help keep you cool in hot weather.
- Wrinkle behavior
- Crisp poplin that wrinkles easily; needs ironing after washing.
- Material
- 100% cotton poplin is crisper and more breathable than synthetic blends, but wrinkles more.
- Care
- Machine wash cold and tumble dry low; iron or steam to restore a crisp finish.
- Shape retention
- The poplin shirt retains its shape after repeated laundering.
- Crispness
- The poplin wrinkles during wear but can be pressed or steamed back to a crisp finish.
- Shoulder ease
- The back pleat builds extra room across the shoulders for unrestricted arm movement.
- Design cohesion
- The pleated buttoned cuffs and back box pleat give the shirt a structured, tailored finish.
- Exclusive design
- Exclusive Simons in-house brand designed in Canada, with back pleat and pleated cuffs.
- Opacity
- The lightweight poplin is tightly woven and not see-through.
- Button material
- The full-length shiny buttons are plastic or resin rather than mother-of-pearl.
- Stripe orientation
- The beige and white stripes run vertically.
- Value vs comparable poplin shirts
- At $29.95 CAD, this 100% cotton poplin shirt is priced below Old Navy's $39.99 and Target's $38 regular-price striped poplin shirts.
- Fabric weight
- This poplin is lighter than Oxford cloth, so it reads as a put-together warm-weather shirt rather than a rugged work shirt.
- Stretch and drape
- The 100% cotton poplin has no elastane and won't relax with wear; the loose silhouette and back pleat provide freedom of movement.
