Lovely colour and useful shirt

Lovely colour but as others noted quite heavy weight linen. I can see I will get a lot of use out of this shirt either over a camisole or by itself when the temperature eventually drops below 25° I sized down for a slightly neater fit although still loose and comfortable.

Gorgeous rich blue!

Love the rich blue colour of this cheese-cloth shirt. Will look great as an open jacket with white trousers and a white T-shirt. Good quality. Large for the size - I had to return the original one I bought and buy a size smaller than I usually buy. Cool, refreshing, very useful holiday cover-up.

A heavy linen but unpressed.

No, I don't recommend this

I like the colour, it's a plain shirt but quite a heavy fabric for a shapeless, linen shirt. Unfortunately, the shirt hasn't been pressed flat therefore it's a bit lumpy and in need of a good pressing, especially around the collar. Not the usual excellent quality of my other M&S shirts.

Very comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

This shirt is soft and easy to wear, also it washes well. It is slightly heavier than a cotton or linen shirt and is a loose fit so sizing down would be ok for a slimmer fit. The colour is pretty.

Comfy & looks good,

Yes, I recommend this

I wear this beach top as an over shirt. Best to order a size under as it's loose fitting - I'm usually a 8/10 & got a 6. It's good quality, thick cotton so not for a heatwave but perfect for 20sC summer days. Gave a 4 as it lacks styling detail on the hemline - it's just straight all round so rather boxy like a kid's shirt Would be nice in a white & black as well as cobalt.

Lovely summer shirt - size down

Lovely shirt, perfect for summer. It is slightly low cut which is fine for me but some people might want to wear a vest under. I sized down, usually a 10 but bought an 8 and it still had the nice oversize fit. Only gripe as a short person is it’s a bit long in body and sleeves, but still love it. Great colour.

Beautiful shirt

Yes, I recommend this

Beautiful short sleeve shirt. Colour is vibrant and very flattering. I wore it open, over a sleeveless cobalt blue dress, as I prefer to cover the tops of my arms. It looked great and was very cool and comfortable. Fabric is lightweight, soft and doesn’t crease.

Cool and baggy. It’s definitely an oversized shirt, but one you can wear for a light jacket effect over a skinny vest and baggy trousers. Lovely colour

Great style!

Loved this. Part of the beachwear collection but I am wearing it as a normal part of my wardrobe. Love the relaxed fit, the boxy shape, soft feel to fabric. Would have given it 5 stars but only the one colour!

Bought for an upcoming beach holiday. Lovely soft, cool material. I sized down but that’s a personal preference. Also bought the matching shorts to complete the look.

lovely and soft, perfect for hot weather

Yes, I recommend this

I initially only bought the shorts, but then went back for this shirt - I love the feel and breathability of the muslin/cheesecloth. On holiday, I find that I tend to favour these items. The colour is beautiful and intense. It washes well. Pairs nicely with the shorts but also with white short/skirt/palazzo pants.
