POPLIN PLEASE

Blue La Shirt Classica (more colors), Tan The Everything Shirt (more colors), wearing COS, image: Launchmetrics Spotlight

Since I’ve returned from my trip, I’ve been obsessing over poplin shirts. I packed one and wish I brought more. Wearing it repeatedly over three weeks confirmed its versatility, comfort and style and has become an item to focus on for summer. Slightly oversized in crisp cotton is the way to go. I’ll wear it tucked/untucked, buttoned/unbuttoned, layered under sweaters or over sleeveless dresses, etc. And suddenly, it’s the most interesting thing I want to buy.
