Available in Multiple Styles
The shirt is available in seven different colours and patterns, including blue/ecru landscape print, cream/brown stripe, ecru abstract vase print, pink/cream shell print, and more. Sizes range from 6 to 22, but the shirt is selling fast on Next's website.
Fabric and Fit
Crafted from 90 per cent cotton and 10 per cent linen, the shirt offers a relaxed fit. A product description on Next's website reads: 'Elevate your everyday rotation with this crisp white long-sleeve shirt, crafted with a touch of linen for a breathable and lightweight feel. This relaxed-fit piece is defined by its artisanal navy blue blanket stitch embroidery, which adorns the classic collar, front placket, and cuffs.'
Subtle yet thoughtful design elements, such as the blue stitch detailing on the buttons, make this a sophisticated statement piece suitable for both professional work environments and casual weekend wear.
Customer Reviews
The shirt has garnered 4.5 stars from 15 reviews. One customer remarked: 'Lovely great quality shirt. I love the colour, it's great for my spring summer work wardrobe and I can wear it casually too.' Another shopper wrote: 'I recently bought this beautiful blouse, it looks gorgeous on, stunning, lovely design.'
A third customer noted: 'Ordered this in a couple of sizes down as I didn't want a too loose shirt. Absolutely love it. Took it away on holiday and wore it in so many different ways. Unbuttoned over a suntop, tucked into trousers and knotted at the front with shorts. So comfortable too.'

Back at Next, the Embroidered Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt With Linen has received positive feedback overall, though a small number of customers noted that the sleeves were on the longer side. One shopper remarked: 'This is a pretty lightweight shirt. A bit disappointed at the weight of the material but it fits well and will be worn over a tee-shirt anyway!' However, another satisfied customer enthused: 'Perfect summer and holiday shirt. Purchased recently as a lovely spring/summer shirt with beautiful edging and buttons. Sized down and still roomy.'
