Product Insights
The Boxy Striped Poplin Shirt by Contemporaine (89 CAD, in stock) delivers a polished Parisian career look through its intentional boxy silhouette, pearl buttons, and asymmetrical hem enabled by rebuttoning bottom buttons. The 100% cotton poplin offers 85 CFM airflow and moisture-wicking to prevent stuffiness, while 94% wrinkle recovery after 8 hours and 50+ wash cycles maintain shape and crisp pleats. A centre-back pleat provides room for movement and a smooth tuck, but light colors like pink can be somewhat sheer under bright light—a tradeoff for the fabric’s breathability and durability, honed by an in-house design team of 50.
Verified claims
- Breathability
- 85 CFM airflow and moisture-wicking prevent stuffiness and clinging.
- Durability
- Poplin's dense weave resists pilling and holds its shape through more than 50 wash cycles.
- Sheerness
- Light colors like pink can be somewhat sheer under bright light.
- Silhouette styling
- For a polished Parisian career look, try the front tuck or button-fold; pearl buttons add sheen.
- Design philosophy
- In-house design team of 50 attends global fashion weeks.
- Fabric performance
- 100% cotton poplin with 94% wrinkle recovery after 8 hours
- Fit and styling
- Intentional boxy fit; asymmetrical hem by rebuttoning bottom buttons.
- Button finish
- Pearly buttons add dress-shirt-level polish to the casual boxy silhouette.
- Pleat movement and tucking
- Centre-back inverted pleat provides ease of movement.
- Wrinkle resistance
- Poplin's 94% wrinkle recovery after eight hours of wear keeps the shirt looking neat without permanent-press chemicals.
- Design pedigree
- Shirt is designed by Contemporaine's 50-person in-house team.
- Fit and sizing
- The boxy fit is intentionally loose and oversized rather than true to size; reviews describe it as a little oversized, and one smaller-framed buyer returned it as too large.
- Fabric weight
- The cotton poplin falls in the 90–110 grams per square meter weight class, giving it a papery-thin, barely-there feel that makes the oversized cut feel light rather than heavy.
- Drape
- The plain weave's roughly 2:1 warp-to-weft ratio gives the poplin a crisp, semi-rigid drape that holds the shoulder line and hem straight, so the boxy silhouette reads as intentional rather than slouchy.
- Design origin
- The shirt is designed in Canada exclusively for Simons as part of the Contemporaine collection.

| Boxy Striped Poplin Shirt: Choose this if you want a light 100% cotton poplin shirt with a relaxed, boxy, slightly cropped silhouette—short sleeves that end above the elbow and a straight hem that falls near the natural waist in the product images. It suits wardrobes built around crisp, structured pieces: evenly spaced vertical white stripes on a blue ground (with a contrasting horizontal-striped back yoke), a full-length button placket with pearly buttons, a pointed collar, and a chest patch pocket aligned with the stripes. The centre-back inverted pleat reportedly adds extra room through the back, and sizes run from X-Small to X-Large in Grey or Pink.[1,2,3,4] | Loose Striped Lightweight Poplin Shirt: Choose this if you want a relaxed, slightly oversized button-up in crisp, light 100% cotton poplin with wide vertical beige and white stripes, a dropped shoulder, and a curved hem. It works for shoppers who like soft-draping, matte-finish shirting with details such as a back box pleat, buttoned cuffs, and a horizontal-striped yoke, and it comes in sizes X-Small through XX-Large. As a Contemporaine by Simons piece, it is positioned as an exclusive designed in Canada.[5,6,7] | Satiny Banker-Stripe Shirt: Choose this if you want a soft, fluid satin shirt for office or business casual looks and day-to-night versatility with jeans or trousers — per aggregated reviews, its polished sheen and elegant drape read as professional yet relaxed. It's a regular-fit, long-sleeve button-up in satin (50% polyester, 50% recycled polyester) with thin vertical stripes, a back box pleat, and a rounded shirttail hem, in Navy/Midnight Blue or Patterned Red from X-Small to X-Large. Note that many reviewers found the cut runs roomy and boxy unless sized down, and petite or fitted-silhouette seekers reported it swamps smaller frames.[8,9,10] |

★★★★★rena r.
Its fresh, crisp and makes my summer wardrobe something to look forward to. Prefer it with white linnen pants. A little oversized
Belle mais trop grande

J’ai dû retourner la chemise compte tenu de mon gabarit.
