So apparently "Esme" is a name that originally had masculine connotations, although now more of a feminine name in modern times. If you'd like to learn more about the etymology of the name then look it up in your own damn time we have shirts to describe right now!

Unlike the name we can't give you a reason for why this type of collar is called a "Mandarin" collar or even if that's a polite way of describing it. We've also seen this referred to as a "band collar" "grandpa shirt" "stand" & "no collar" on previous occasions. It's all differing ways of describing the collar style you no doubt recognise before your very eyes.

Don't be fooled though this shirt is much more than just a collar supported by forgettable fabric below it; instead it's a maxi-sized shirt that is likely to become one of your favourite pieces in the wardrobe. You often see this style referred to as a "boyfriend" shirt but that's a dumb name so think of it as being like when you just get a shirt that's waaaay too big for you except this time it fits nicer because it was designed that way.
