The Arket Poplin Shirt All Editors Love

We don’t like to brag, but with years of experience hunting down wish list-worthy buys on the high street behind them, our editors have gotten pretty good at it. And when something really special comes along, it’s only fair to shout about it, right? 

There are certain criteria an item has to meet to earn the Who What Wear editor-recommended stamp. Generally, the Who What Wear team favours classic pieces, versatile pieces that you can wear year after year and in multiple ways. They should be high quality and fit well, but most importantly they should bring you joy. Think thick wool knitwear, hardwearing denim and real leather (or premium vegan leather) accessories.

This time around, it’s a simple button-down shirt that’s made it onto the list. You probably already own one, but you probably don’t own one as flawless as the Arket poplin shirt. The high street brand has a few to choose from, in different colours and slightly different cuts, but all have one thing in common: that not-too-loose, not-too-tight, perfectly relaxed fit. Plus, the cotton used is a nice weight that washes well and holds its structure. The best bit? It’s only £59, and some iterations are even less.
