Product Insights
The Scissor-Cut Faded Cropped Boxy-Fit T-Shirt by Icône uses a cotton-rayon stretch jersey that is softer and more luxurious than 100% cotton, fully opaque, and drapes fluidly to prevent the boxy crop from feeling stiff or shapeless. Its signature scissor-cut trim curls and evolves with washing, while the raw hem develops a wavy texture without fraying. The tradeoff: maintaining the cropped silhouette and faded wash requires cold gentle washing and air drying to avoid rayon shrinkage and hem distortion.

Deep Research
Care practices to maintain the faded wash and trim
- The cotton-rayon blend carries a meaningful shrinkage risk because rayon can lose 5–8% of its dimensions and cotton 3–5% — washing in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air drying, is the only way to keep the cropped boxy fit from distorting and shortening over time.
- Washing at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent locks in the intentional faded tone; hot water above 40°C accelerates dye migration and can turn the faded charcoal into an uneven, washed-out grey.
- Rayon loses up to 50% of its tensile strength when wet, so air drying or low-heat tumble drying is critical to prevent the cropped hem from stretching out and the boxy silhouette from losing its structured drape.
The Icône by Simons brand and its Canadian design roots
- Scissor-cut edges appear across multiple Icône tees — for instance, the Oversized Boxy Rolled tee features 'scissor-cut batwing sleeves' — so this tee’s raw-cut trim is not an isolated detail but a recurring signature of the label’s deconstructed, off-duty aesthetic.
- Simons was founded as a dry-goods store in Quebec City in 1840 and remains owned by the descendants of founder John Simons, now into its fifth generation — when you buy this Icône tee, you're buying into a 185-year-old Canadian retailer whose entire business is built on in-house design and prime-sourced imports rather than a faceless chain.
- Icône is positioned as the most fashion-forward of Simons' three core women's labels, deliberately targeting a playful, youthful aesthetic with a price point accessible enough to let the style-curious experiment — this tee's cropped boxy cut and faded wash are exactly the kind of trend-driven, low-investment piece the line champions.
- Simons has used the Icône label to produce mass-scale collaborations with emerging Canadian talent, such as the Markantoine capsule that brought motorsport and manga influences to the floor, and the retailer similarly backed Marie Ève Lecavalier — who later earned an LVMH Special Prize nomination — so buying into Icône aligns you with a line that actively nurtures homegrown fashion.
- Simons' roster of 50 in-house designers travels to international fashion shows and draws from European design, meaning this tee is not a mass-market commodity but a piece filtered through a design studio that translates catwalk influences — like this season’s oversized proportions and washed-out palette — into something wearable for Canadian women.
How soft the cotton-rayon blend feels and drapes
- The stretch jersey knit — a common construction for cotton-rayon blends — provides subtle, multi-directional flex that moves with you and then recovers, so the boxy shape stays relaxed without losing its cropped line or feeling constrictive through the shoulders.
- Because rayon hangs with a fluid, almost silky drape, the cropped boxy silhouette skims the body instead of sticking out — this prevents the relaxed fit from reading as shapeless, giving the T-shirt an intentional, modern ease that a stiff cotton tee can’t replicate.
- Rayon was originally engineered as a silk substitute, so this cotton-rayon jersey feels noticeably smoother and more luxe than a standard 100% cotton tee — the kind of broken-in softness that normally takes months of wear to develop, delivered out of the box.
What the scissor-cut trim looks like and how it wears
- The scissor-cut trim mimics the hand-crafted look of a DIY crop, which cutting guides describe as making a plain tee look like a 'distressed piece that looks straight off a boutique rack' — so the factory finish delivers the same curated, imperfect aesthetic without any effort on the wearer's part.
- The cotton-rayon stretch jersey is functionally essential to the scissor-cut design: unlike woven fabrics that would require a hem to prevent fraying, the knit's natural curl and stretch eliminate the need for a finished edge, preserving the boxy silhouette's clean lines and avoiding hem bulk.
- Because the t-shirt is made from a cotton-rayon stretch jersey, the scissor-cut trim creates a raw edge that rolls slightly inward instead of fraying, so the unfinished hem stays neat and stable through repeated wear and washing.
- Over successive washes, the raw edge will curl further and soften, developing a more pronounced wavy texture that enhances the garment's relaxed character; since the knit resists fraying, the trim will not unravel, making the evolution a style benefit rather than a durability concern.

Q&A
1 answered- How sheer is the fabric? Can you see through it under normal lighting?
- The fabric is not sheer — the cotton-rayon blend provides full opacity, so you won't see through it under normal lighting. The charcoal color further helps, though the faded wash may give a slightly worn look without affecting opacity.
