The shirt for a Monday meeting and a Saturday out

A long sleeve button down shirt in a polyester and spandex blend, with a spread collar, a curved hem and a slightly tapered waist. The listing places it at the office, on a date or on a trip, and it comes in several solid colors. The fabric carries 5% spandex for stretch.

The fabric is 95% polyester and 5% spandex. The listing calls it a soft blend with gentle stretch, and the spandex is where that give comes from. Polyester is a synthetic fiber, so the shirt contains no cotton, wool or other natural fiber. The listing does not state the fabric weight or how opaque it is, so it is worth checking the color you pick against that.

The cut is a regular fit with a slightly tapered waist, a classic spread collar and a curved hem. A curved hem is the kind that can be tucked in or worn out over jeans or a skirt. The listing says it pairs with blazers, skirts and jeans, which is a lot of range from one hanger in a small wardrobe. The material gives no size chart, no sleeve length and no list of the exact colors, so look at those before ordering.

Care is simple on paper: it is machine washable. The title says wrinkle free, while the description says easy to iron, so a quick press now and then seems a fair expectation. The listing says only that it is imported, not where it was made. Whether the shirt reads as polished or plain is a matter of taste, not something a spec can measure.
