I've now bought 4 of these shirts - 2 plain, 2 checked. The blue of this one is deeper and nicer than in the picture. The fabric has a silky feel, is light to wear, stays cool and still feels fresh at the end of a long day. The length is low-hip on my 5'3" frame. These are great casual, everyday shirts and I find them brilliantly comfortable. I wash them in cold water, hang to dry on a plastic coat hanger, and they're ready to wear again in a couple of hours, no ironing needed. Fabulous!!
