What are those summery top where short sleeves are hanging over the shoulder rather than a "t-shirt".. I don't mean the "cold shoulder" look where the shoulders are exposed..

This is the closest pic example I could find of what I mean:

Cap sleeve? Haven't looked at your link.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 29/06/2019 12:54

Link doesn’t work for me

Xmasfairy86 · 29/06/2019 12:54

Bardot? Can’t see the pic on the link

Apileofballyhoo · 29/06/2019 12:54

Oh the underneath part is like a cap sleeve, not sure what you'd call it with the drapey part.

StereophonicallyChallenged · 29/06/2019 12:55

Google cap sleeves OP.

I’ve always called that a gypsy top but no doubt some loon will be offended by that.

Boho is an acceptable alternative

Gosh, I'd want to keep popping it back on my shoulder!

thecatneuterer · 29/06/2019 13:09

I would call that a peasant top. Or maybe gypsy top.

Hi thanks for the comments so far everyone but I don't think it's "cap sleeves". I tried googling it and it looks like a very formal sleeve type. I'm kinda after the opposite - drapy short sleeves I guess

Can’t see the link but if it’s the gathered kind with a sort of frill then it’s called a Bardot top.

thecatneuterer · 29/06/2019 13:14

I can see the link and it's not capped sleeved or bardot. It's a normal peasant top which happens to be a bit big for the model and so is falling off one shoulder.

OneTownsVeryLikeAnother · 29/06/2019 13:15

I can't see the link either but if it's a very drapey sleeve that flows straight from the shoulder with no seam or structure I think that's called an angel sleeve.

thecatneuterer · 29/06/2019 13:16

Why can only I see the link?? Anyway the sleeve doesn't have a seam so it a short angel sleeve on a peasant top.

For those who can’t get the link to work....

Yes! Angel sleeve sounds most similar to what I'm looking for (judging by google images)! Thanks a lot! :)

@SmellbowSmellbow123 Thank you for posting the pic for those who can't see the link (must be some sort of web browser dependent thing)

I’d call it a peasant top (my phone wanted to say pheasant Grin)

Screenshot from OPs link. It’s a funny sized webpage on mobile which is why it’s not showing for some I think.

madeyemoodysmum · 29/06/2019 13:21

Yep gyspy peasant or boho prairie all would fit the description for me

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 29/06/2019 13:21

Sorry xpost Smellbow, I’m a slow typer Blush

SmellbowSmellbow123 · 29/06/2019 13:24

@BernardsarenotalwaysSaints

Great minds and all that!!

BalloonSlayer · 29/06/2019 13:39

I love that one of the words on the link is Blusas.

It's got me imagining some ladies from Sunderland have been looking for tops . . .

DontCallMeShitley · 29/06/2019 14:27

It is called 'uncomfortable'.

Looks lovely but falls down a lot.

hidinginthenightgarden · 29/06/2019 14:56

They were always called gypsy tops when I was younger.

Jayaywhynot · 29/06/2019 15:45

Boho
