Overview
This is a light open neck shirt with 3/4 length sleeves. It is designed to flow around the collar bone areas and down as shown in the first photograph, however it often opens up as shown in the second giving a slightly collared look to it.
The colour is a speckled design of yellow/white giving a casual edge which fits it’s loose fitting design. The top is made of a 57% Viscose / 43% Polyester mix but feels very much like cotton and is very light and flows well. The curved hem is long and covers below the hips adding to the casual styling more
The top does not pull or hug your figure too much but does guide the eyes into the breast-line and shape well without then hanging off unflatteringly. There is also a small pocket on the left breast which has questionable use and is barely noticeable generally.

The Male Perspective
This shirt works amazingly well for men. A lot of men wear open neck lined tops and this just offers a different perspective on this. The centre V is not as low as it may seem and is very forgiving to the male body. Also the way the design opens up as shown in the second photo again helps the look work from a male perspective.
The sleeves are not overly snug and can be pushed up to a shorter length if wanted without compromising on comfort.
The length and hem of the shirt is okay to be worn outside of trousers if wanted without any issues, but there is plenty to let you tuck it in if you prefer to. The choice is yours.
Overall
A great shirt which is very practical for men and women alike. A lot seem to over a more unisex design now which flatters a womans figure but offers a level of decency to men. So whilst this is clearly a woman’s top it almost wants to be worn by everyone.
The colour is nice too. Not vibrant and in your face. This is more like a setting sun which relaxes and sits there not bothering you unless you want to bask in it.
