Great shirt

The perfect white shirt. Lovely fit. Not too oversized and a good length. Light weight but crisp enough to hold its shape. I read the reviews so bought a size smaller in a size 8 but didn’t like the fit so went for my normal size 10 and I love it.

Everyday shirt, not a dressy one

No, I don't recommend this

Nice shirt but not the cut I wanted. Too big around the waist. Button down collar would have made it more stylish too. Nice length on arms though.

Fit compromises what could be a good shirt.

No, I don't recommend this

I have been looking for a simple, crisp white shirt and thought I'd found it, but unfortunately the fit is large (what even is girlfriend fit?) and it just sort of feels like a school shirt. It is white and crisp but fir me too unflattering and too much fabric to wear comfortably tucked in without looking too boxy. Returned.

High quality key piece in my wardrobe

Yes, I recommend this

Absolutely love this Pure Cotton Girlfriend Shirt from M&S. The fit is spot on — true to size without feeling tight or boxy. The cotton feels surprisingly premium and expensive, much nicer than I expected for the price. It’s one of those easy, throw‑on pieces I know I’ll wear loads because it works with everything and feels great on. A really solid wardrobe staple.

Nice shirt-very oversized

Yes, I recommend this

This is a nice shirt- but it is very oversized. I bought a 10 as I needed it to be oversized to fit a t-shirt and a sweater underneath without it being tight, but I could have easily worn an 8 and it still be oversized with the ability to put a sweater under it and not tight.

Good shirt but size down!

Yes, I recommend this

This is a good shirt with a good double cuff and good fabric that can be dressed up or down. I knocked a star off because M&S sizing is wild! I’m a size 8. The 8 in this shirt is too big. I like a bigger fit so despite other reviews commenting on the size I thought I’d get away with it, but the shoulders sit at least an inch below my natural shoulder making me personally just look like I’m wearing someone else’s shirt. And not in a good way. I’d return it for the 6 as it’s a good shirt, but live abroad and didn’t try it on before leaving the U.K. where I ordered it from. If you size down it’s 5 stars.

Shirt for work

Yes, I recommend this

So glad to find a 100% cotton shirt for work. Read other reviews about size comes up big so I went down one size. It fitted perfectly. Well made too Happy to have purchased it. A few weeks later I bought another one. Four stars because have to wear a vest underneath in order for my bra not to show. Please make these shirts less see-through.

Lovely shirt

Yes, I recommend this

Always on the lookout for the 'perfect' white shirt and really like this one. I went for my normal size 10, I'm 5'3 and it's roomy but that's the style and it doesn't swamp me. Nice quality cotton, and a crisp, fresh white. Ordered a second one to be able to wear on repeat all summer.

Crisp, classic shirt

A white shirt is a wardrobe staple and this classic example goes with everything. I have worn with jeans, with trousers for the office, and looks great. Quite a fitted, defined shape in comparison to some white shirts.
