I initially ordered a large because all my Athleta tops are that size (5'10" 185lbs for reference.) I may have already submitted a review but… I looked like how a kid would draw a shirt on stick people. I returned for a medium, and when that came today, I noticed right away the crew neck was cut and.../or hemmed improperly so it sits crooked on my shoulders. I shouldn't have to go through almost a month of returns for a simple crew neck tee. This entire "Essential" collection is a bit odd. Most of my tops are the "With Ease" cinch and twist tops and those feel like a true large. I would even re-re-order a small but I was worried the arm holes would feel too tight. The cut on the shoulder and torso is awkwardly broad… almost as if a man designed this for himself and just made the arm holes skinnier for a woman. I love supima cotton as it is more durable and less see-through than regular or even pima cotton. I wanted an alternative to all the poly blend workout clothes in my wardrobe. It's a great fabric but I think this whole line needs a little tweak on sizing and overall shape of the garments.
I'm a large in everything with Athleta... is what I thought (5'10" and 185 lbs, 42" bust.) I know these are more of a relaxed fit, but sizing down would have been the move. Love the high quality fabric and color, but I'm not as impressed with how unpredictable the sizing can be between medium and la...rge. This goes for tops and bottoms. I've had medium fit perfectly in-store, then online orders leaving me looking like the Michelin man. This was the opposite. All my clothes (that have actually fit) from Athleta are a large. I went straight-ticket large on this $200+ order and thought I was safe, but this supima "Essential" collection is shaping out to be frumpy and unflattering so far. Plenty of websites I've ordered sale items from allows returns for an in-store credit at least. Athleta not so much. Boo!! I like sale items so I know what I like before dropping $$$. Now I'm just bummed!

I purchased this top to pair with the seasoft pant in navy. I returned because it's not the same hue as the pants. It's a rice, beautiful color, and the seasoft pants have a hint of a "washed" look. just doesn't match the navy pant. Otherwise, it's perfect

I have sensitive skin and run warm. I adore the Essential Tops because they are high quality, smooth cotton with a light stretch. I have two, and when I wear them, I feel so comfortable. I love the truffle color which is a warmer brown for my autumn season. Please, more colors!!

Finally, a mostly cotton top from Athleta. The fit is a little boxy, but it will be great for layering in cooler weather.

My go to top for a slightly dressier look. I was concerned a stain would happen so I ordered a second as back up. I'm 5'7 and the S hits just below waist level making it perfect for high waisted or mid waist pants.

I loved the feel of this top. At 5' I ordered a petite size. It fit well in the shoulders. The sleeves were quite long which I wouldn't expect in a petite size. Also, the top was tight at the bottom. Unfortunately for me, it's going back.
