Product Insights
The Twik Oversized Patterned Poplin Shirt, priced at C$39.95, undercuts Gap Factory by $20 while matching Old Navy's value with a 100% cotton blend (50% organic) for breathability. Its genuinely oversized fit absorbs 2–5% shrinkage without distortion, and the tight poplin weave resists pilling and keeps prints sharp for over 50 washes. The rounded hem falls cleanly over matching poplin shorts (sold separately) to create a cohesive two-piece co-ord set that eliminates outfit decision fatigue. With an 85 CFM breathability index, the fabric remains cool and comfortable in warm weather. Cold wash and air drying are recommended to limit shrinkage. Twik, Simons' in-house brand since 1952, is designed in Canada and exclusive to Simons, a retailer operating since 1840.

- Fabric weight
- The shirt is made from light poplin at the lower end of the 90–150 GSM poplin range, giving it a lightweight, airy feel with enough opacity and body to avoid being transparent or flimsy.
- Value
- At C$39.95, the shirt undercuts Gap Factory's Oversized Shirt in Poplin and Old Navy's Everyday Poplin Shirt at regular full price, while adding 50% organic cotton.
- Wrinkle behavior
- The cotton poplin has a medium wrinkle tendency, creasing during wear but pressing smooth quickly and cleanly; the oversized cut makes light creasing read as relaxed rather than messy.

Buying Guide
1 comparison · 7 sourcesUses
A bold statement layer for casual outfits
Buyers pick this shirt for its bold, fashion-forward prints and plan whole outfits around its striking look. Worn open over a white tee, the oversized fit and vibrant pattern make a relaxed, eye-catching choice for casual outings like weekend brunch. Note that the cotton poplin arrives stiff and board-like, so plan to wash and iron it before it softens up for wear.[1]
Gift-giving with a sizing caveat
This patterned poplin shirt can be given as a gift, but customer reviews flag its sizing as off-standard. Unless you already know the recipient's Twik size, the recipient will likely need to exchange it, so it works best as a gift for someone whose Twik fit you know.[1]
Packing for summer trips
For a summer travel capsule, reviewers note this shirt's sturdy poplin resists wrinkles and needs no special care in a suitcase. Some reviews mention the heavier fabric adds bulk to a carry-on, so it may take up more room than lighter tops.[1]
A statement piece for a smaller, intentional wardrobe
Some customers say the shirt's bold, high-quality pattern makes it a piece worth keeping, supporting fewer, more intentional purchases that last beyond a single season. This reflects reviewer impressions rather than a verified durability outcome.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Oversized Patterned Poplin Shirt: Choose this if you want a statement-making casual shirt in 100% cotton light poplin — reviewers buy it for its bold prints and plan outfits around the striking look, especially worn open over a tee. Its sturdy poplin resists wrinkles and needs no special care, but it runs 1-2 sizes larger than typical oversized cuts (consider ordering down unless you want an extremely baggy fit), and its balloon sleeves and boxy cut make neat layering under a blazer impractical. Note the fabric arrives stiff and board-like, needing washing and ironing before it softens.[1] | Tie-Ribbon Collar Checkered Poplin Shirt: Choose this if you want a loose, relaxed-fit button-up in 100% cotton poplin with a small dark check on a white ground and a tie ribbon at the collar for a bow or choker-style finish. It offers long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, dropped shoulders, a single chest pocket aligned to the check pattern, and a rounded hem with a side slit that extends past the hips. It is offered in Patterned Blue in sizes small, medium, and large, and is exclusive in Canada at Twik.[2,3,4,5] | Patterned Linen-Blend Shirt: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable shirt for hot summer days and casual everyday wear, with a soft, relaxed boxy fit and an eye-catching pattern that reviewers say works as a fun statement piece for social events. It is a short-sleeve button-up with a point collar and straight hem, made from a flowy 55% European Flax linen and 45% viscose blend in a vertical pastel stripe design. Note that the boxy cut runs large—many reviewers recommend sizing down, and it may disappoint if you want a sharp, tailored silhouette; the shade may also differ from online photos, so an in-person look is ideal.[6,7] |

CHEMISE
parfait
Grandeur inconsistante
Jolie, mais étrangement faite un peu plus petite que celle rayée bleue que j’aimais beaucoup pour son style plus ample.
Super
Très grand. J'ai pris une taille en dessous de ma taille qui est habituellement TG
Trop grand.
Trop grand.
Belle couleur
J’ai hâte au printemps pour la porter ouverte avec un t-shirt blanc dessous
Popeline
Tissus très rigide.
Chemise ample
Ça été difficile de trouver l’ampleur désiré
The fabric is like paper.
The shirt is stiff, and hard to wear. It is hard to iron. I found the fabric too stiff, just like cardboard.
Great oversized fit
Lovely colours and fabric Planning to wear it under a suit so had to return the medium which was perfectly oversized but I need a tight fit
Superbe
Beau tissus qui se tient bien Facile d'entretien
Sizing way off
Love the shirt and fabric but sizing was way out off. XS was still To Large. Usually a true medium

Je suis satisfaite de la blouse en popeline, la couleur et la taille est parfaite.

love the fit and the fabric,
Useful
Great colour, the fabric is a bit heavier than I thought, but the description does not indicate delicate and it is comfortable.
Lovely shirt
I loved the colours and the construction of this shirt but ended up returning because I sized up because my usual was sold out and true to the description, it was very oversized on me. If you want an oversized look, order your usual size. If you want a slightly off the shoulder fit, I’d actually size down in this one.
