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!

#sweepstakes These are great tops for everyday casual wear. I liked the first one so much, I ordered a second. I love the length, the fit, and the softness of the fabric. A hit for me. Both XXS and XS fit but am more comfortable in the XS.

wanted a long sleeve classic black T, not cropped, not skin hugging thru the torso. I found this fits like the short sleeve version of the Essential, with the back seam, and fabric is also the same. This will travel well to wear with different looks. I washed on gentle, cold with a perfect outcome.

The black Essential Top seems to fade with repeated washing

Great basic t-shirt. Nice weight of material that is suitable for most seasons. Excellent colour choices, especially trillium. Cropped enough to not look messy, but not too short to show midriff.

I like the fit and look of these tops ( I bought it a couple of colors). It would be nice if the fabric was a bit more breathable.
