The button down shirt for Monday mornings at the office

A collared long sleeve shirt in a cotton rich blend with a little stretch, cut slim and built with a corset style button front. The listing presents it as a blouse for the office or an ordinary weekday, and it comes in brown and two blues as well.

The fabric is 65% cotton, 30% polyester and 5% spandex, so cotton carries most of it and the spandex adds a small amount of give for the slim cut. The listing calls it a classic poplin shirt with a collared V neck and a button front, and describes it as wrinkle free and easy care. It does not say which part of the blend does that work.

Sizing is the part to read slowly. The listing says this shirt runs small and asks you to check the measurements for each size instead of going by your usual one. The chart covers bust, waist, length, cuff, shoulder, bicep, back and hem width. For a precise look, the listing suggests sizing up one size. It does not state the size worn in the photos.

Care is simple on paper. Hand or machine wash at a low temperature, wash dark colors separately, and hang dry. The listing suggests pairing it with a cami, shorts, jeans, pants, leggings or a jacket, and says it suits the office, school or a regular day in any season. Whether the corset detail reads as sharp or a little fussy is a matter of taste, and the listing gives no fabric weight. It is imported.
