Design and Features
Decorated with a bold and striking floral print in its navy colourway, this top has a flattering Bardot neckline with a front tie detail that neatly shows off the decolletage. Made with stretchy jersey fabric, the top has a comfortable, floaty silhouette many of us will want with any future heatwaves in our midst. It is made with short sleeves that, when worn off the shoulder, come to just below the elbow.
With a colourful makeup whose hues range from blue to pink to orange to purple and pink, we have no doubt the Bardot Stretch Top will be a versatile and hardworking wardrobe staple - plus, shoppers are declaring it a dream for pairing with white trousers and jeans.
Fit and Sizing
With a loose fit that neatly complements the neckline, the Bardot top measures at approximately 60cm in length, making it a great option for those who want something comfortable to skim over the tummy. Although for those who want a top with a bit more structure, this Pure Cotton Printed Off The Shoulder Top from Marks and Spencer is £49 and has an elasticated shirred hem to bring in the shape of the blouse. This is mirrored on its cuffs.
For a few more accent details, this Ecru Floral Print Puff Sleeve Bardot Top with Linen from Next, £30, features a button down front and bardot neckline that can be worn on or off the shoulders.
Shopper Reviews
However, Roman's Bardot Stretch Top has proved a hit amongst fashion lovers, with it gaining a near perfect 4.8 star rating, with shoppers loving its crease-free ability thanks to its viscose and elastane makeup that seems to lend itself well to travelling.
One person shared a glowing review that read: "Lovely summery top, nice material doesn't crease will look lovely with white trousers or jeans. I bought size 12 my usual size for Roman and it's a generous size 12."
Someone else remarked: "Absolutely love my new top the colours are striking, good summer vibes. Fits really well, so a yes from me thinking of reordering another colour."
A third echoed the praise and said: "Absolutely love it, the colours are striking and so many people have given me compliments. Bought the green and white one too, it's lovely but not as striking as this one."
Although one shopper loved the top on a whole, sharing how it has "lovely bright colours. Great for my holiday and warmer days," they had one drawback: "Elastic sleeves can feel a little tight at times." Although this didn't ruin the experience as they added: "Overall very comfortable."
Others noted how it's 'very stretchy', which meant they could have gone a 'size smaller'. So keep this in mind. That said, for the most part, the top has received top marks from shoppers, with one person citing: "Lovely top for warmer weather and I look forward to wearing it."
Covers your arms in the right places and looks flattering on. Pretty colours and a nice material that will wash well and hopefully not need ironing.
