Boxy and runs big

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...

I know it's not supposed to be fitted but...

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...

Love the essential tees because I am short waisted and the length is perfect.for me. It's a nice heavy quality. I have at least one in every color I like. I am SO SAD to hear that your are discontinuing the essential line.

I have two long sleeved essential T-shirts. They are fantastic. I am 5'4", 118 lbs and a small is perfect for me. I like the fact that the T-shirt doesn't hang way down it's a flattering cut. I wish they had these shirts in short sleeved in different colors. But I can't find any.

Perfect cotton tees with a little bit of stretch. The slightly boxy fit is flattering and the fabric is substantial enough to keep its shape without clinging.

Comments about Essential Top

I'm wearing this top today for the first time since I bought it, and so far I like it. I sized up, and I am glad that I did. The top is bit short for my taste; had I not sized up, I would have been constantly tugging at it and pulling it down. It doesn't say it's a cropped shirt, but it sure feels like it. I also needed the added length from sizing up in the sleeve, so I'm glad I did. I normally wear a 2x and bought a 3x. It is not boxy or square; likely just fitted more than I prefer (hence sizing up). I gave 3 stars because I don't like cropped shirts. Just give me the whole shirt, please!

Cute & Comfy!
