J Crew’s slim stretch shirts (11454) retail for $58. They come in assorted colors & have either full length or 3/4 length sleeves. I love, love, love them! They also run in petites (11252), but I prefer the regular size in both long sleeve & 3/4 sleeve. I always take a small, but I also own a XS in fresh mint. I’ll have to show you the shirt trick to create a better fit. That gets its own post.
Here is a Small, 3/4 sleeve, light pewter (me loveth)
Goes well w/the dazzilng dots skirt. I think this is a slicker choice than pulling white w/the skirt. White’s ok, too, but the slim shirt in LPE was made for this.
I know you’ve seen the slim shirt in LPE on the sale racks and keep passing it by. I urge you to take a 2nd look. I scored this for $19.99 and I’m so glad I did. The light pewter is really more like a cool off white than a grey. You may think you can’t wear the color, but give it a shot. This is a great opportunity to try a slim stretch shirt in a low price if you’ve never owned one. Also — if you need to be photographed in a white shirt this is a better option as it would read as white or close to white without being glaringly white.What do you think of the slim stretch shirts by J Crew? Scale of 1-5. I give it a 5. Chime in…

I can’t wait to see the shirt trick. I’m between sizes on this one — small is way too tight and medium is way too big, so I have given up on this shirt.
Oooh, looking forward to your shirt trick too.
Does this shirt have darts for the bust? I’ve tried that one and I always feel frumpy in it. No go for me, sorry.
The shirt looks great on you, though! 🙂
I love the slim stretch skirt. I love it with the gladiola print skirt (with the mint-thanks for that idea Gigi!!) and I like wearing them with the Bistro pant. It is an easy pulled together look for work that looks like I mean business.
I will not sleep until I read about this shirt trick!
I like the slim stretch shirts. I own the white, fresh guava, and black. The only drawback I can think of is that it wrinkles very easily.
Glaydies — I have tempted thees and those and thous with something that is so simple. I feel a little bad because you will say…that's it? I will post it soon anyway. 😉
Anon@4:31 PM – Basics are good & I love the guava. It wrinkles, but not enough to bug me. I've never paid attention till you pointed it out. Usually I am all over the wrinkle factor.
Gigi – I bought a Slim Shirt like this (same color) at the Gilroy J. Crew Outlet and LOVE it! I love the color and the fit. If it’s not the same shirt as the retail version, it’s very close. Love the fit. It “hugs” in all the right places and it’s very, very comfy. I love the grey with the mint green. Have to think about that one as I don’t own the dazzling dots but maybe I can come up with another combo.
Love the shirt on you. but can’t wait for the shirt trick – esp if it’s as simple as you say.
For $19.99, I can't get to a B&M soon enough!
Thanks for the heads-up and review, Gigi! 🙂
AnneG – I agree — the slim shirts at J’Crewlet look pretty good. I’ve never tried one on, though. Good description of this top hugging in the right places.
HeidiG – Hopefully shirt trick post won’t take as long as the vocab post 😉
Drewablank – This would look so good w/your Coralie suede pumps.
I like the slim stretch shirts, but I usually go for the long sleeved ones (then roll up the sleeves if I want them shorter).
I do have two 3/4 sleeves ones, solid white and a navy/white stripe. 3/4 sleeve is an odd length for me and I end up rolling those to or above my elbow. Ms Mer– Yes, they have darts.
I like the shirt, just not the sleeve length.
tastymoog & Tamstyles – I always end up rolling the sleeves, too. The drawback about the 3/4 sleeve is that it's hard to put a suit blazer on over it. The sleeves always feel weird. Not as odd a feeling w/cardis.
