Best Activewear Button-Down Shirts for Women of 2025

“I absolutely LOVE this shirt! It's affordable, light, and comfy with a little stretch for movement. The fabric is cool and soft against my skin. It fits true to size and comes in nice colors that keep me stylish even in remote locations. I totally recommend buying this shirt; you won't regret it!”

“I bought this shirt for a safari, and it was perfect! The neutral color is great, and it's lightweight and comfortable. After washing, it looked beautiful, and I could wear it as a jacket or a shirt. Overall, I’d give it a 5-star rating!”

“I loved the blue color and the feel of the fabric, but I found it loose. The sleeves were several inches below my fingers, which I didn’t expect. I’m 5' and weigh 100 lbs., so maybe size down would help.”

“I think these shirts are well-made and the color is nice. I made a mistake by sizing up, which made it too big for me; sticking to my actual size would have been perfect. The fabric is a bit thin and see-through, though.”

“This is the best button-up shirt I've ever owned. It's soft on the skin and the fit is perfect for my curves. I love that they don't wrinkle after drying, and I've purchased several colors because I'm so happy with it.”

“I absolutely adore this blouse! It’s classy and comfortable, and I love how the sleeves fold to show the cute polka-dot contrast. It looks great with skirts or jeans, perfect for dressing up or down.”

"I ordered this shirt in four colors hoping they would fit—black, white, khaki, and mint. At 5 feet tall and 110 pounds, I opted for a size small, which fits perfectly. The length covers my belly without being too long. The bust area is just right, and while the pockets are a bit lower than normal, it's hardly noticeable. These shirts are ideal for travel, errands, church, meetings, and more. I’m so pleased with the quality that I even ordered another in light blue, bringing my total to five shirts. They’re versatile enough to dress up with dress pants or down with denim. I’ve also added a pink shirt to my collection, and they wash well, looking neat and clean."

"I found the color to be great and the fit comfortable. However, I noticed that it runs a little small, so I decided to size up, and now it fits perfectly."

"I am very satisfied with this top. It's well made and fits me well in the size small that I usually wear."

"I really love this shirt. It's light and cool, which was a pleasant surprise since I usually find long sleeve shirts too hot in the sun. It looks great on me and is very flattering. However, it fits more like a fashion shirt than a fishing shirt, so I need to exchange it for a bigger size for more freedom of movement. The material feels better than pricier shirts, making it a great value for money."

"During my trip to hot and humid Southeast Asia, this shirt performed beautifully. It was comfortable, easy to wash and dry, and versatile enough to wear with a tank top underneath or under a windbreaker. I couldn’t be happier with my choice!"

"As a tall plus-size woman, I often struggle to find shirts that are long enough. I took a chance and ordered a 3X, and it fits like it was tailor-made for me. I'm thrilled with the length and style, and the cooling fabric is a huge bonus. I just re-ordered all the colors because I don't think I'll ever find a better-fitting blouse!"

"I've been camping more with friends and was jealous of their 'camp shirts.' I finally got one before heading to Jekyll Island, and it was PERFECT! I'm usually an XL, and I prefer non-fitted clothing. This shirt fit my frame perfectly—big enough to layer and comfortable around the chest and belly. The fabric is great for both cooler nights and warmer days, and it has lots of pockets without looking like a cargo vest."

"I love the fit and look of this shirt, but the wrinkles are a hassle. It comes out of the wash wrinkled, and I can't even seem to steam them out. I’m not overly picky, but this shirt is a bit too wrinkly for my liking. Still, I’m taking it on a trip, hoping I won’t run into anyone I know!"

"I bought this shirt for a trip to Hawaii because I wanted sun protection. I can't say for sure if the SPF factor is working, but I didn't get burned after wearing it over sunscreen. It’s comfortable, though wearing long sleeves in the tropics can get warm. I usually wear a medium, and I found that the small fit me well according to reviews stating it runs large."

"I find this shirt flattering and well made. The wrinkle-resistant fabric and true Navy color are perfect for me. The print on the cuffs and collar adds a nice touch, and it’s a great price!"

"While I love the style, the arm length is a bit short for me, so I cuffed it. I really appreciate the inside material when I do that!"

"I'm a fan of the unique patterns around the collar and sleeves! The fabric has a gentle stretch, which makes it comfortable to wear without worrying about the buttons. I wear it tucked in, but it also looks good untucked."

"I found this shirt to be well-made and true to size. It's comfortable, making it perfect for everyday wear, especially in sunny weather. I appreciate how breathable it is, as I need to cover up from the sun. The lightweight material feels sturdy and launders well."

"As someone who travels frequently, I need a shirt that can serve multiple purposes. This one fits the bill perfectly! It's tailored yet stretchy, making it very comfortable. I purchased the color labeled dark gray, but it's a bit lighter and more blue-gray than I expected. I'm 5'4", 138 pounds, and the medium fit me well, although I did shorten the sleeves by nearly 2 inches."

"This shirt was absolutely perfect for my vacation! It was soft, comfortable, and fit well for both beach outings and dining. I loved it so much that I’ll definitely be buying more!"

"I spent a month in Africa and bought several of these shirts. They were perfect and washed up and dried quickly. I ordered a size up per reviews...glad I did."

"I needed a greenish hiking shirt to wear with my new olive hiking pants. I bought many of the 33,000 feet hiking shirts in 3X, which are very elaborately tailored and designed. This brand is very similar but sized far smaller. The 3X is really sized as a 2X. I had to return this hiking shirt. I highly recommend this shirt otherwise."

"I loved the fabric and the features, but like many button-down shirts, these are for women with an ample chest. I bought the largest size they offered and still was at risk of popping the buttons. I really liked the blouse, just not cut for a busy figure."

"I found this shirt to be extremely lightweight and it fits perfectly. I've ordered another one because it's just that good!"

"The shirt is ideal for outdoor activities. I initially ordered an XL, but it was too tight, so I went for a 2XL, which fit the same as the XL. I'm quite disappointed given the price."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how well-fitting this shirt is. It's comfortable for outdoor activities, and I've worn it frequently during the hot Virginia summer. It's just perfect for me!"

"I ordered this shirt in black and was thrilled with the nice stitching and well-made quality. It's true to size and offers great coverage. I received so many compliments on my first day wearing it! It's an excellent addition to my wardrobe for both office and casual outings. The fabric is not overly thick but is still comfortable and easy to layer over long sleeves. Great value!"

"This shirt has quickly become one of my favorite pieces. The rich color and soft texture of the corduroy make it stand out and add a sophisticated touch to any outfit. I can wear it with jeans for a casual look or leggings for comfort. The oversized fit and long sleeves create a relaxed feel, ideal for looking put-together without sacrificing comfort. The V-neck and button-up design give it a classic style, making it versatile for many occasions. I love that it's thick enough to keep warm, yet breathable."

"I really love these shirts! I've already ordered two different colors and am considering a third. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, fitting just right. They fit perfectly into my wardrobe."
