"Modern" stripey/Breton tops?!

I'm wedded to my Breton tops with skinny jeans and Supergas (don't tell me it's passé - I have no idea WTF else to wear) but all my boatneck ones (Gap, Zara) are starting to look dated.

I think I'm after boxier, crew-neck ones, maybe more like these from ASOS (not petite though) - does anyone have them, or can recommend any others?:

Try JCrew, Petite Bateau, Charles Tyrwhitt, Boden, Armor Lux, they all do a range of colours.

Laquila · 18/05/2016 11:41

Thanks Kitty! I've looked at all of those and although they're nice, they're all a bit too similar to what I have already. I'm not really sure how to "modernise" my beloved Bretons, so I might just have to get out of my comfort zone and find something else!

H&M do a good budget range of breton stripes (I live in them too) in fact wearing one (Boden) right now.

Cos

FlopIsMyParentingGuru · 18/05/2016 12:16

Have you tried joules Harbour Top.
Lots of colour options and quality fabric. But go down a size I'd suggest.

EmpressTomatoKetchup · 18/05/2016 13:30

I also love a stripy top or three, I spied a few in H&M the other day.

Does it have to be long sleeves? This is great if not.

Acornantics · 18/05/2016 13:37

Can't do links but Tesco have a short sleeved navy and white boat neck t shirt in right now, it's gorgeous on, especially if you like to show a bit of neck/shoulder line. It's cheap and won't last forever but it's very nice thick jersey and a good length.

Seasalt sailor shirt - v good quality Breton tops in a wide range of colours

sammy891 · 18/05/2016 14:28

Joules and Boden both do good ones. Joules are boxier fit and thicker material.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 18/05/2016 14:43

The one you linked looks like a stripey sweatshirt.

this kind of thing

ElspethFlashman · 18/05/2016 14:46

Joules ones are brilliant as they're actually pretty warm. And thick so they stand out from your tum a bit. Hide a multitude.

Mrs9C · 18/05/2016 15:49

I love the Joules Harbour tops.. They're the thickest ones I own, and I own waaaay too many breton tops. I wouldn't size down, but I don't like my clothes tight, they're a flattering loose fit. And good price for the thickness of material for Joules. I bought the tee version last week and going to send it back as the material is awful, and it was only £5 less!! You get the Harbour top in long and 3/4 sleeved versions.
