Interested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134910 Thu, 23 Jul 2020 01:35:31 +0000 notsaf 2134910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the replies so far! I find that these Madewell shirts are a bit boxy and I agree with you, unfrumped, that the fabrication is key to comfort! </p> <p>I won't be shopping in-store any time soon, which is why I'm seeking advice here. If anyone else has any recommendations to add, I'd be grateful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134894 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 23:47:18 +0000 Helena 2134894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, no help but following with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134891 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 23:33:04 +0000 Gretchen 2134891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked at Loft? I got the below earlier this summer. It’s more of a knit, but has a similar look. </p> <p>Also, (v. different price point), I like the MM LaFleur cowl neck. Not collared, but has similar visual interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134890 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 23:24:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2134890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Madewell often has tops like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134850 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 19:26:47 +0000 Minaminu 2134850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeneva added a link in her recent post, she purchase a blouse like the pictures that you are after </p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/debating-losing-my-shirts" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-my-shirts</a> </p> <p>Hope it helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134789 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 15:17:07 +0000 unfrumped 2134789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find some shirts like that useful also. Woven natural fabrics are often cooler than knits, even cotton. And I sometimes want a tailored, collared style rather than a “ blouse”. </p> <p>I have braved zombie- land to return to TJMAXX , and they have a variety of short- sleeved , collared button front shirts. A bit ago I bought a Tommy Hilfiger one— not a brand fan per se, but chose it for being cotton but in a kind of Oxford- cloth weave, actually a bit heavier, and it launders quite well. Plus color was a medium- light blue with white polka dots which fit into a wardrobe capsule.<br /> Then I also have my elbow- sleeve pajama top I am wearing as a shirt. </p> <p>At TJ, there were a other somewhat similar ones in wrong colors, plus ones in very light cotton that does not pass the wrinkle test, plus a lot of linen that also would wrinkle severely. Also a lot of cap sleeve and “ extended sleeve” that does not work for me— I need a shoulder seam. </p> <p>I have not tried to look for such shirts online but I expect you could find some- it’s just so hard to evaluate the fabric. Also, if you have a department store that is open for in- store shopping, they would have sections of many different brands , so might get lucky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-lightweight-collared-short-sleeved-tops#post-2134782 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 14:26:35 +0000 notsaf 2134782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popping in to ask for recommendations for lightweight, short- or cap-sleeved button-down or popover-style collared tops. </p> <p>I'm interested in this sort of thing especially for online meetings, where the neckline/collar can add visual interest while covering my shoulders and allowing me to stay cool in the summer heat. Machine washable essential! </p> <p>Adding a couple Finds as inspo, but if you have any direct experience or recs, let me know! THANKS SO MUCH!</p> <p><b></b><u>UPDATE:</u></p> <p>Thanks to everyone for your comments and advice below. I ended up finding a very nice linen version by the company DL 1961 through Shophop (below in Finds). I've worn their jeans before and always like the quality, so I thought it was worth the risk. Very pleased! &nbsp;I will probably wear most often with the tie undone and front-tucked, which is the look I'm going for.&nbsp;See my recent <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-year-on-the-forum">1-year update</a>&nbsp;for a pic.</p>
