Friend – it’s a role you don’t take lightly. You commit to friendships like relationships, because communication is the greatest gift in life. You seek out lasting connections and you work at them, through the good and the bad. People come to you, they want to know you – and when it feels right, you let them in. This shirt is dedicated to you.

If you would like a relaxed fit instead of an oversized fit, we recommend that you choose one size smaller than your usual size.

Fantastic versatile top

This is a great top for pretty much any occasion. I wear it tied over a dress, tucked into high waisted jeans, and untucked as a tunic over leggings. I’m usually an xs, and I probably could have sized down, but I love it as is. The linen is so beautiful. I don’t find it to be sheer, especially with the added layer of the front pockets.

A classic staple!

This shirt is awesome. First bonus is that it is not see-through and you can easily wear a nude bra in a professional setting without worrying that anything will show through. It is definitely oversized; I went down to a XS (I’m normally a S), and there is still room. However this does look quite nice and it definitely gives any outfit a sharp, menswear inspired look. I have mostly worn it tied at the waist, but I’m excited to style it other ways as well! The fabric itself is of really nice quality and the piece washes beautifully (I’d argue it gets better with each wash!!). I’d definitely considering getting another in a different colour or another piece entirely. Very happy with my purchase!

Great piece

As a petite women I worry about clothes that drown me. The xxs was perfect. Still relaxed but holds shape. It’s very cute. Don’t stop making this. Waiting for the cream to be back in stock.

The Friend Wayward Fit Tunic in Black

This shirt feels wonderful, gorgeous linen but very large. My size is usually a 6 so ordered xs but it would seem it is to be worn over something rather than a base close fitting layer. It still will be a wonderful staple to my wardrobe.

Beautiful fabric and construction! My favourite shirts of all time!

Extremely happy

A beautiful quality shirt. I love the cream colour. It does not gap at the buttons and is not see through. It is large but that is exactly what I wanted and it is perfect. I bought the t shirt too and wow is it nice!

Incredible

I bought the cobalt color and cannot be happier. Gorgeous high quality linen in a beautiful eye catching color-it’s quickly becoming my favourite shirt. I have purchased several shirts from POMP over the years and the price for quality relationship can’t be beat.

Customer service & Quality of this Cobalt blue shirt

I have been a customer since 2021 and this time around did not even hear back as a response to the poor quality of the fabric. I already sent one back as the threading was pulled on fabric. The replacement received was even worse. Balls of fabric all over the shirt. Its the fabric itself, all over the shirt which worries me if it gets pulled, the whole shirt is ruined.
Contacted them a few times no response whatsoever. Very disappointed.

The best!

I have 6 Wayward linen shirts and I love them. They’re beautiful, high quality shirts. I’ve bought other, more expensive linen shirts,and they can’t compare.

Beautiful

This is my 5th POMP shirt. If you want an immaculately tailored shirt of high quality, but reasonable price for what you are getting, this is the brand for you.
I’ve worn all of mine in all seasons for the last five years and they still look new.

perfect shirt

I thrifted the oak brown short sleeve shirt a while ago and it has been my favorite shirt that I wear once a week. I purchased the black one and love it as well. It is the perfect lightweight shirt for Texas heat. The linen is amazing quality and is not scratchy at all! The length is also perfect. I want this in every color!

Nice casual shirt but very oversized

I have 3 POMP shirts in the Proper fit and now this one in the Wayward fit. I followed the instructions to order one size smaller than usual if I want more of a relaxed than oversized fit, but I easily could have gone down two sizes. I like the linen fabric but I will most likely keep this shirt for use as a swimsuit cover up simply because it is way too large and long. To be fair, I will try another Wayward shirt in a different size and see if that works better for me. That being said, the quality of POMP shirts keeps me coming back, and I particularly love the Proper fit shirts for a beautiful polished look for office wear.

Love it!!!

This is so beautiful and elegant. It’s longer than I expected, still able to tuck in and wear open. This is my third POMP purchase. Would recommend!!

Not happy at all

So I’ve ordered this shirt in my regular size as per recommendation from the company and specified that I don’t really want it too loose,well it is.
So very disappointed in this purchase and wasted money.

Love the colour

TBH, I haven't worn this shirt yet, but I have 2 other Wayward linen shirts (lilac and navy), and love them; they were my first Waywards after about 11 Propers.
I thought about ordering this shirt when it first came out, but thought the colour would be too harsh on me. I'm a soft summer for anyone into that. It's not at all too harsh. The white really tones down the vibrant green, and it's a cool shade, which is also my colour palette.
I have too many PoMP shirts, but also not enough. I went by the size chart, and I size down for a relaxed fit vs oversized, so XS in Wayward. I'm 5'4.5" so I like loose but not overwhelming. The XS has plenty of room, and I can still tie the front or layer or button all the way up.

Beautifully made but so big

This is a really beautifully made shirt; the fabric, slightly cream, is just gorgeous. But wow, it is huge and really long. I was hoping I could tuck it in or tie it, but there's too much fabric for that, and untucked it just looks borderline like a dress. Maybe if my job was to lie around draped in excess fabric, this shirt would be great, but alas, sometimes my job requires movement. I'm 5'2" and ordered an XS, my usual size. The pockets don't even start until beneath my entire chest, so it really looks weird. That said, you couldn't see my bra despite the sheerness, which is impressive! It is super sheer, but the weave manages to obscure things. If POMP makes a normal, not-oversized shirt, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

Usual 5 Stars

I’ve lost count of the number of shirts and tops that I’ve bought from POMP. The fabrics and workmanship/sewing are spectacular. I made my own clothes for many years, so I know about both. I bought the white seersucker in the spring because it goes with everything AND needs no ironing. The blue linen is gorgeous and it also goes with almost everything I own. It does need ironing but their shirts iron up beautifully and easily. Thanks again, POMP!!! ✨✨✨✨✨

Gorgeous

I just received it and I’m in love. The color and the quality of linen is just incredible. So effortlessly chic. I will be wearing it on repeat all summer long with pants, skirts, and shorts.

Wonderful Shirt

Fabulous shirt! Love the weight of the fabric and the colour - a lovely blend of green and black linen fibres. Perfect for summer weather; and in the cooler months it is great for layering.

Perfect classic shirt

This is a perfect staple item! Easy to dress up and dress down. I am a usual size 8-10 and a medium is great, particularly as I am 4 weeks postpartum right now. It feels roomy and easy enough for nursing right now and will be perfectly oversized as my body continues to change.

Perfect

One of my favourite wayward fit shirts (this is my fourth). Easy to wear, classic and forgiving with a beautiful pop of colour. One of my go tos in humid or hot weather.

I'm glad I finally got this top, and the lilac version. These are my first Wayward Fit shirts; I have many in the Proper Fit. I got these in xs, and they have plenty of room. Based on the size chart POMP recommends I should have gotten a small, but I went by the body measurements size chart, and I wouldn't want these shirts any roomier at my size/height. I can still button it up at the neck in the xs. My Proper Fits are also xs, and they are more fitted and much shorter, which I also like for a different look. It's hard to find a properly fitting button up, but POMP did it.
It's been too cold to wear these new short sleeve shirts, but I'm sure they will wash well, like the Proper Fit linen shirts do ( I have the off white and the dark green). I was hesitant to get this style, because I'm short and the shirt seemed very roomy and long, but I have no regrets. Navy is my black, and this shade is lovely. These will make great swimwear coverups too. So versatile. Thanks again, POMP!

A bit sheer

I really like The Friend top but I'm just not crazy about the fact that it's pretty sheer. I can only wear a flesh-colored bra with this top or a light tank top underneath. Everything else about the top is great (length, fit, color, pockets, collar, etc.)!

5 Stars, as usual

I’m wearing the shirt as I type this. We’re celebrating some friends wedding anniversary, so it’s perfect for a sunny summer day as a jacket over a white t-shirt. Lovely colour, fabric and fit. I went down a size because I’m short and don’t want the shirt ‘wearing me’. Pleased, as always.

A beautiful, versatile shirt

Before purchasing The Friend-Wayward Fit I had purchased The Tailor-Proper Fit. I saw that the quality of the make was there, but The Tailor fit me tight in the hips. I'm glad I returned to purchase The Friend. I'm typically a Medium/Large shirt (measurements below). I purchased the Small for a relaxed fit after researching reviews and checking in with POMP staff. The fit was perfect, the quality of the make apparent, and the lightweight linen perfect for the hot/humid summers in New Orleans (where I live). The fabric is slightly sheer, but not distractingly so. I feel comfortable wearing to work with a flesh-toned bra underneath. The large breast pockets add a nice touch and proved super useful for holding my phone during my recent flights. I'm very happy with this shirt. Keep it up POMP. You've got a good thing going.

beautiful shirt, quite sheer

This is a gorgeous shirt that can be worn so many ways (out, tucked, tied at the waist, unbuttoned as a topper or beach cover up...). It is quite sheer so personally I will want to wear a camisole underneath, which somewhat defeats the purpose of linen on a hot summer day. No regrets as I love the shirt and feel amazing when I put it on. Took my usual L and the sizing is good (oversized as I wanted). I think this will be my POMP fit of choice going forward as I found the Perfect fit boxy and prefer either something a bit more tailored or deliberately oversized like this one.
