Let me start by saying - this tee is *ridiculously* soft. Like, 'steal-your-boyfriend's-favorite-hoodie' level of cozy. The cotton blend fabric feels luxurious against the skin, and after three washes (cold water, hang dry), it hasn't lost that buttery softness.
The fit is classic Lucky Brand - slightly relaxed without being boxy. As someone with broad shoulders (thanks, swimming), I appreciate how the crew neck sits perfectly without choking me or gaping. The sleeves hit at that sweet spot between 'too short' and 'cap sleeve territory'.
Now about that butterfly print... It's subtle but not invisible. Unlike some graphic tees where designs crack after two washes, this one stayed crisp through multiple cycles. Though I wish it came in more color options - the current palette leans very 'safe neutral'.
At $38 retail price? Oof. But here's why I'd repurchase during sales: 1) No pilling after months of wear 2) Doesn't lose shape like cheaper alternatives 3) That perfect weight - thick enough to be opaque but breathable for summer.
Pro tip: Size down if between sizes. Mine shrank about half a size lengthwise after the first wash (despite following care instructions), making it even more flattering.
