Product Insights
The Contemporaine Cropped Patch-Pocket Poplin Shirt is a 100% cotton poplin top whose fine-warp, thicker-weft plain weave with a faint horizontal rib gives it a papery initial crispness, a polished dress-shirt read, and enough density to hold a boxy cropped shape without clinging or sagging; it falls in clean straight lines, dresses up or down, resists pilling, has low stretch, and recovers about 94% from creases over an eight-hour wear, so creases stay shallow, though the same crease memory holds sharp edges and lets pressed-in folds linger; the main tradeoff is that lightweight white poplin can read slightly sheer and is usually paired with a camisole, while the new-garment crispness softens with each wash without losing shape, and care is machine wash cold with quick steam or low iron; the cropped hem anchors above the waistband and is styled with a fitted color-matched base layer or clean tuck, available in White XS to XL all in stock with sizing down for a closer fit, at a flat CAD 99 across sizes that eliminates the typical plus-size price premium.
Verified claims
- Fabric
- 100% cotton poplin: a fine-warp, thicker-weft plain weave with a faint horizontal rib.
- Drape
- Falls in clean straight lines and holds its boxy volume instead of clinging.
- Occasion versatility
- Poplin is the default dress-shirt weave, so the shirt reads polished and dresses up or down.
- Sheerness
- The white 100% cotton light poplin can read slightly sheer, so a camisole underneath is the usual pairing.
- Creasing
- Cotton poplin recovers about 94% from creases across an eight-hour day.
- Shape retention
- Poplin's dense weave holds the boxy crop's shape and volume without sagging.
- Break-in
- Softens with each wash, losing its papery crispness but not its shape
- Care instructions
- Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and line dry or tumble dry low to limit shrinkage; a quick steam or low iron smooths creases.
- Durability
- Pilling-resistant tight weave with low stretch holds its shape over time
- Crease memory
- Holds sharp creases and clean edges, though pressed-in folds linger
- Waist anchoring
- The cropped boxy hem sits at or just above the waistband of high-rise denim or trousers and is designed to be worn untucked; if there is any gap, pair with a fitted color-matched base layer or a full tuck of the base layer.
- Sizing
- XS to XL in White, every size in stock; size down for a closer fit
- Pricing
- Flat CAD 99 across XS-XL eliminates typical plus-size price premium
- Breathability
- The 100% cotton light poplin is breathable and comfortable for warm spring and summer wear; the main caveat is opacity rather than warmth, so a camisole is often worn underneath.
- Fabric weight
- This white light poplin sits in the roughly 100–115 GSM weight class; below 115 GSM a white poplin is at the sheer-risk edge unless the weave is very dense or the yarn is delustered.
- Fit guidance
- The boxy fit is intentionally relaxed and loose, not oversized; size down for a closer fit, or stick with your regular size for the intended cropped boxy style.
- Design origin
- Designed in Canada as an exclusive Simons in-house label; sold only through Simons.
- Layering
- Layers under a blazer or cardigan with minimal sleeve bunching; works best under an open, unstructured layer because the cropped hem ends above most blazers.
- Pocket function
- The chest patch pocket is functional but sized like a classic shirt chest pocket; it holds glasses or small essentials but not most smartphones.

It features a single chest patch pocket, long sleeves with buttoned barrel cuffs, a classic point collar, tone-on-tone shiny buttons, and a hem that sits above the hips.

Note the fit is cropped and boxy with a slightly dropped shoulder, so it may sit shorter than a standard-length shirt.[9,10,11] |
