I’ve loads that I’ve not worn at all this year. I think I feel mumsy in them.

Anyone still liking?

I have one in ivory: I wear it all the time for work, tucked into a pencil skirt and under a blazer.

I also wear it every so often casually, tucked into a high waist vintage denim midi skirt.

I've a navy one that's a summer staple. My one quibble is the not totally flattering armholes, but I still like them lots.
Some of the patterned ones are foul though. Boden seem to glory in producing the same item in a lovely classy navy or red and then your other choice is something that looks like a 1970s tablecloth.

I sort of liked them but found they were too tight round the bottom.

What I adored were the Richmond capris; great length and a bit of stretch. Wish they'd bring them back.

I don’t know what to wear over them. Jackets look a bit power suit. Cardigans look mumsy. I dunno

I love them, have a navy, black, and red and white squiggles. I wear them a lot for work in the summer, but ideally, they would be 2 inches longer.

I have an ivory one but agree, anything over it is hard, and we don't get that many really warm days here to not need some sort of cover uo. I have short shoulders too, so I'm constantly rearranging the neck so I'm not showing my bra...

I have quite a few but prefer the Carey top now, I have a long body and it is a better fit on me.

I have an ivory one too. I quite fancy an emerald green one. I wear it untucked with skinny cropped cotton trousers for work, or tucked into a pencil skirt ( which does, to be fair, resemble the aforementioned 70's tablecloth). Quite like it with black skinnies and loafers too. I'd wear a jersey blazer over the top, but generally save it for really warm days as there's no obvious long-sleeved companion. My last Ravello top just sort of fell apart one day. The seams didn't go, but the fabric kind of disintegrated, and when I stretched, it tore about 4 inches across! This was on my way to a really important work meeting and necessitated running into a Next in an industrial park in which I ended up buying a replacement top of appalling, puff sleeved stylelessness. Be warned....
