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 love the length of this top. The color is fabulous and so is the material. Washes well.

I really like the fit and the weight of this shirt. The shirt is not tight or clingy, it moves freely and does not ride up when exercising. I also wear this shirt beneath my favorite sweaters. The neckline is refined and looks well beneath my nice sweaters or my casual workout cloths.

Love the shirt and have been washing by hand. Water turns blue dark blue. Washed 4x and water is still blue?

Brown is one of the colors of the season and this is a true brown. Color matches perfectly with the coaster luxe high rise jogger. I have lots of essential tees as they have a nice fit. I do size up for added length

Perfect all around shirt for everyday. I now own 4 in different colors. Just use caution when selecting a size if you plan to put it into the dryer. It does shrink. I bought medium and they shrank to a size small.

White sold out so I settled for grey. It is cropped, but not so much as to expose your stomach! It fits a bit roomy.

The fit is not too tight but not too loose!
