Cotton poplin had a huge moment on the spring runways this season. What made this trend so relevant? Designers played with unusual proportions and introduced new sewing techniques to create the modern day “shirt.”

We rounded up a few of the key essentials to note when shopping (think asymmetrical, cropped, ruffled!) that will keep you feeling fresh through the summer months ahead. Don't settle for the basic button down!

Our three favorite words: add to cart.

TOTÊME

An off-center button front is an instant update to your run-of-the-mill button down. A mandarin collar and oversized silhouette feel remarkably new in a micro gingham print.

MANGO

The puffed sleeve is sweeping the fashion world. Dip your toe in the trend with a version in crisp cotton. We recommend tucking in or out of a high-waisted silhouette (i.e. skirt, jean, trouser) for maximum styling versatility.
