Women's shirts

Pre-owned women's shirts and blouses, from button-up shirts in cotton poplin to Oxford shirts, short sleeve shirts and overshirts.

Button-up shirts and blouses

A button-up shirt has a collar and a full button placket, and it is most often made from poplin, a smooth and fine cotton. A blouse is usually lighter and softer in fabric and can have a looser cut or a different neckline. Both are worn tucked in or loose over trousers or jeans.

Oxford and button-down shirts

An Oxford shirt is made from Oxford cloth, a cotton with a basket weave that is slightly heavier and softer than poplin. It is often combined with a button-down collar, where the collar points are buttoned to the front of the shirt. A men's Oxford shirt is often worn oversized by women. Ralph Lauren shirts have their own page.

Size and measurements

A women's shirt is usually cut closer at the waist than a men's shirt with the same size letter. The guide to measuring pit to pit explains how to compare those numbers with a shirt from the wardrobe.
