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 like this shorter top as you do not need to tuck in and still makes body portion look taller.

I love the fit and color, I found sleeves to be a bit long on me but overall I like this top. I have it in other colors too.

As a petite, I usually find "regular" length tops to be too long. This is perfect. It's an easy, flattering fit. The Renew long sleeve is too snug in the arms-- even sizing up, I find the upper arm uncomfortable in that style-- but the Essential top is comfortable in my normal Athleta size (XS). I immediately bought this in another color, and would buy the rest if they were still in stock in my size!

Perfect fit for me. Softness of fabric and color choices goes with everything and I wear it just about everyday. It has a classic look, not sloppy t shirt look and I wear it with every pant.

I love this top! I bought three of them (black x2 and grey...white was sold out) to wear under sweaters, especially my cardigans. The fit perfectly and I got them on sale.
