Striped top 2021

Sorry but you need this t-shirt. Unless you are one of those types who already has 200 Breton tops, (I had to ban myself from buying them about 8 years ago because it was just too much, too awful), this is such a great top. It has a nice close collar so that it doesn’t slop down off your shoulder and show your bra strap. It also has a practical bracelet-length sleeve and a super-flattering batwing shape. Just ace. I am a size 8-10 and I got this in a size 10 but a 12 or 14 would have been fine, just a bit more roomy. I’m getting myself another one because as we all know, sometimes there really is nothing quite like a Breton.

    I used to have one just like this from Zara until it died a death. So many Breton tops are too thick. Thank you for flagging this one up, it’s exactly what I was looking for (they only have a few left at Westfield Stratford in case anyone is also needing one)

    Just bought it. Thank you! (We’ll gloss over the fact I have a section in my wardrobe dedicated to Breton tops).

      Yes there is no need to dwell on that

    Love the concept but the trio of horizontal stripe/high neck/batwing sleeve will not work with disproportionately large (size 10, E cup) boobs…?? Or is it one of those rare exceptions to THE RULES? I don’t have a single Breton top for this very reason. Also, they make me think of Boden/Joules and not in a good way…
