The Big Shirt

“ETA: just remembered i have a 4th! black with crystal buttons purchased as a funeral shirt most recently used in my first costume design project. so nice i had to buy it thrice! first a blue patchwork stripe moment; then an oxford version with a thin, light blue stripe (i should've gotten the red one too!); and my latest buy, thick cobalt blue stripes. currently have my eyes on the brown + white and brown + blue options.”

“I own this in white (in two sizes, multiples), blue stripe, pink stripe, regular blue, white oxford, black, cinch sleeve white, cinch sleeve denim, sheer black, sheer taupe… I cannot express how much my life revolves around this shirt.”

“a tried and true, size down so you’re not swimming in it. it’s almost always on sale”

“Just bought one of these and it is truly so comfortable, I've been wearing it all the time. The 100% cotton material is really soft on the skin, breathable, and it feels really well made, like the old Gap button downs my mom would wear in the 90s. I would recommend the denim material (the one I have is the brown denim version). I can't speak to the poplin material but I'm sure it's just as comfy! I'm normally a size medium but the size xs fits me really well and is still roomy and doesn't feel too tight.”

“Big time endorsing this, and also adding that I’ve found this shirt multiple times in crossroads consignment stores across LA for anyone looking to buy secondhand!”

“Work from home, walk to the farmer’s market, light layering all year round.”
