Product Insights

Twik's Peplum Waist Boat-Neck Shirt, available exclusively through Simons, creates a balanced hourglass silhouette by using a boat neck that broadens shoulders and elongates the neck to offset peplum hip flare, a design inspired by Audrey Hepburn's Sabrina dress. The medium-weight, opaque cotton poplin (100% cotton, 85 CFM breathable) holds the peplum shape and crisp neckline thanks to its tight, unbalanced weave, resists wrinkles 34% better than linen, and withstands 50+ washes, but may shrink 2–5% and lacks reinforced button stitching, demanding gentle care to avoid button loss.
