Where to get the best Breton tops?

[sleepyhead3]

Hi there,

Quite simple really- wanted to find a perfect stripy, top- Breton design (ie nothing figure hugging).
Have seen some on Boden which look okay and Gap always has stripy tops but not quite the design I am after atm.
Can you suggest anything else?

May even brach out and get a stripy dress too!

I third Armorlux. I have had one since I was about 12 (hardwearing!) and grew out of it for good with the first set of pregnany norks. I keep trying to replace it with cheaper ones but should probably just buy the real thing.

Do the armolux ones keep their shape well being 100% cotton?

I am wearing an Armolux one now and it's brilliant for keeping it's shape, it's soft but sturdy cotton- I had one years ago that lasted ages too...really worth investing in the real thing.

St james are also very good -I have had these before (I am addicted to breton tops) I have seen these in this shop in Southwold and they are nice quality too...

As a sailor lady, I own a few of these and so those my children. The best breton tops are for sure from Breton labels as they are made with "hard wearing" type of cotton compared to the trendy fashionable striped tops you can find on the high street today. You cannot go wrong with Armor Lux & St James even after several washes. For that stripy dress, check this one. I am very tempted ...

ooh they are nice
