| Gleaming Velvet Shirt: Choose this for a relaxed, shimmering velvet layer: it is a long-sleeve button-up in supple velvet jersey with a shirt collar, button cuffs, tone-on-tone buttons, and a straight hem that falls below the hips with small side slits. The fabric is 80% polyester made from recycled plastic, 17% polyester, and 3% spandex, and a matching pant is sold separately. It comes in Black and Mossy Green from X-Small to XX-Large; note that image analysis observed small lint fibers on the velvet surface, which may matter if you prefer a perfectly smooth finish.[1,3,4] | Flap Pockets Stretch Silk Shirt: Choose this if you want an ultra-flowy, lightweight shirt in stretch silk satin (92% silk, 8% spandex) with a regular fit, two chest flap pockets, tone-on-tone buttons, and buttoned cuffs. It offers classic shirt details like a pointed collar, shaped back yoke with a center inverted pleat, and a straight hem that can be worn loose or tucked. It comes in Off White and Chocolate/Espresso across sizes X-Small to X-Large, as a Contemporaine by Simons exclusive designed in Canada.[5,6,7,8] | Silky Hidden Placket Shirt: Choose this if you want an ultra-light, fluid silky crepe blouse — made entirely of recycled plastic bottles — with a full-length hidden button placket that gives a clean front for office wear under a blazer or dressier occasions. It resists wrinkles, machine-washes well, and works for both dressy and casual outfits, in eight colors across sizes X-Small through XX-Large. Note that the relaxed cut runs large per many reviewers (consider sizing down), the placket may pull or gape at the bust for fuller figures, the fabric can build static in dry conditions, and one reviewer reported pilling after a single day.[9] |
