I bought 2 of these during a 25% sale (otherwise I wouldn't even have considered them due to the price). I'm 5'4", 160 and wear med/large normally in Athleta (I do yoga) and I bought the MED in Pyrite and Snowfall Blue. Right out of the package, these shirts look GREAT. TTS. Loose fitting and eve...n wrinkled they still look classy but casual. You might be able to size down but i wouldn't. I love that the sleeves/cuffs are cut so that they can be easily folded and lie flat without being constricting or bunching on the arms. Personally, I tend to shy away from collared shirts; I have a short neck and open neck tops are more flattering on me. But I work from home and could use comfy, effortless professional tops when I'm on camera. These linen shirts are PERFECT as I can quickly throw them over a tank top and wear open or buttoned. The collar itself is small and fashionable, not so corporate looking. Hopefully after a few washings, the the soft fabric will allow the collar (when buttoned) to "fall away" from my neck a bit so that it's not constricting and boyish looking and give it a feminine, relaxed vibe. This is not your typical starchy, stiff collared shirt. The fit is a bit boxy, but not too much. (I gave it 4 stars since I wish it had just a bit slimmer profile when buttoned). These will be an excellent packable, all-purpose travel shirt and will complement a variety of pants, skirts, or shorts! PS. The Pyrite color is STUNNING.
I was excited to refresh my linen pieces, but these were a no. They were kind of heavy and a bit scratchy. Also, reviews mentioned them running large, and that's not accurate if you're bottom-heavy. I'm a true pear (32" chest, 28" waist, and 40" hip) - I ordered a small. It was a little large/mascul...ine looking in the chest, but tight across my hips. Medium wouldn't work in the chest. Larger side slits could make this work, Athleta!

athleta.gapcanada.caI have the relaxed jacket and the matching pants. They're pretty on the hangar but the linen is so stiff, it's not at all comfortable. The photos make the outfit look so soft and airy. Not so. And I've washed the pieces to loosen it up didn't work. Having said that, if you want a "sturdy" outfit, this is it.

Size down, this runs large. I ordered small petite & I'm usually small or medium regular. It's a thicker material than I thought it would be. Made very well. Good for spring weather and cool summer nights. The shirt came as though someone had worn it and maybe returned it, the sleeves were rolled up & a bit wrinkly. I got it on sale so I couldn't return it. So I , washed it and came out nice and the wrinkles disappeared after the wash.

Quality fabric, drapes well; slightly oversized fit but can easily be tucked in for a more fitted look if desired. Can be dressed up or down depending on accessories; very versatile

I bought a medium. I am 5'5" and 135lbs. It's a perfect fit - not too flowy but not too small. Well made and I love the black colour.

The fabric and fit are so comfortable, a heavier linen that keeps its shape and doesn't wrinkle as a lot of linen. I went with my smaller size for a fitted look not tight just no baggy. I'm 5'11" 185 I got the large.

I love linen in the summer but always struggle to find a set of high quality that doesn't feel like it will fall apart. This is that set. The weight and structure of this linen in great and I have already ordered the entire set in multiple colors.
