Excellent worth the purchase

Love the fit. Definitely need to wear high waisted pants if you don't want middrift to be shown. Can we work causal or accessorized up. I should probably purchase this for my permanent collection.

Fantastic basic

I ended up buying - such a useful basic for a work wardrobe. It’s definitely cropped and a little boxy, but I think that made it easier for tucking purposes (and you can wear it tucked or untucked).

Perfect for work

Loved this! Wore it a bunch and might rent again/buy. I have a large chest so it’s hard to find button down shirts that don’t make me look too boxy. This being cropped totally makes this top better

10/10

Loved this! Very versatile, wore this both to work and going on. In the pic I wore it more cropped by undoing a button and pulling it back on my shoulders but was able to make it appropriate for work as well with high waisted pants

Basic white button down with a twist

Cute. Compliments every time I wore it. I wore it as a shirt with high rise pants and more like a jacket (unbuttoned) with lower rise jeans/pants. If you are between sizes you could probably size down.

Definitely oversized

If you’re looking for a boxy button down—this is the one. Definitely size down, even the xs was still a little big, but I made it work.

Such a cute structured, cropped button down. I wish I got a bigger size just because my torso is long. Otherwise, love it!

Perfect Basic

Regretting not buying this - it was the perfect basic. It’s a little cropped but the fit and structure on this top is great and fits TTS. The back also has a nice detail to elevate it slightly. Would recommend!

Casual chic for everyday

I was looking for a button down white shirt to wear for work. Even though I knew it was a crop top, I thought I could still tuck it into my pants. I didn't end up using it for work, but I wore it during my staycation with capri pants. It showed a little midriff, but not much unless I raise my arms up. The sleeves were a tad long, so I rolled up the cuffs. It was a nice casual look that was comfortable and had a good overall fit.

Just okay - not for my body type

I got a large, could have worn M. I thought it was cute but was kind of horrified every time I walked past a mirror (I work retail so lots of mirrors). Loved the idea but not for me.

Comfy & easy, not super flattering

I knew it was cropped so it was a risk with big chest that it would just fall down. I was hoping it would land half inch longer to tuck one side. The tucks didn't stay in so it probably made my boobs too much of a focus but it's a comfy easy throw on that I wanted for summer.

Was a great top to wear for both Zoom meetings and IRL. Not the most flattering from the side so prefer to wear for virtual conversations. But was perfect for me during pregnancy as didn't have to worry about fit.

I love a Large for oversized fit but would’ve preferred a Medium

The Large sleeve was longer than preferred and length was longer than desired. It was nice to feel like I was actually a Medium! Would be good for larger bust. I made it work though!

Wore with jeans and a sweater and it was much easier than tucking in a long button down. I would rent again but would size down at least one (if not two) sizes.

My ideal shirt

So happy with this piece. It fits me perfectly and I love the style. It’s a combination of two of my favorites (collared and cropped). I like that it’s a heavier weight cotton.
