breton tops

So... I have seen the type where the stripes are all pale, I have seen the type that wouldn't graze my hips (I'm tall). I have seen the 100% cotton tops that will inevitably shrink in the wash. I am searching for a clingy, comfy breton top that is long (hits the hips) and is the classic navy and white/cream. Any ideas folks?

I have got a really nice breton top that sounds right for you from Boden.

I am a 5ft 6 and it is a little longer than hip length on me. Fab quality, washes really well and clingy without being tight. I think it's Breton perfection.

As do I from Matalan!

I have had that jigsaw one for, like, forever and it washes brilliantly.

wildheaven - in the picture, the jigsaw one looks a tiny bit see through. . Is that how it looks in real life?

H&M do a fab Breton. Have them in all colour ways and they wash and wear really well. Look far more expensive than they are. I have sized up in some colours for a more relaxed fit and they still look great.

I recommend Jack Wills

Jigsaw one not see through, not too heavy either. Keeps it shape well. Breton perfection.

There are some in Isabella Oliver catalogue at the moment but haven't bought them so dunno if they're any good.
