Would like a really nice Brereton stripe top but can't afford Boden

Would love a classic stripe top, with a boat neck like what Boden do but not their prices. Any ideas l?

Have you tried secondhand? I've just bought a Boden top on eBay, so you might find one.

Seasalt Cornwall sell a lot of their old season stock on Ebay at a big reduction including stripy tops

Joules?

Came on to say try eBay, best of all worlds when it comes to brands that you can't necessarily afford new and of course, better environmentally.

I assume you mean Breton (fishing region in France) rather than Brereton (small down at heel ex-mining village in Staffordshire)?

Sorry.

Second the idea of ebay. There are loads of nice things by seasalt, Boden, joules on there, often new.

I got a lovely one in Tesco a few years ago and it's still going strong! Exactly like the Boden one, lovely thick-ish fabric so it keeps it shape. I've not been in a store for a long time but as it's a fairly classic item they might still do them?

This one from M and S for £8.50?

I have been browsing at M&S and found this: www.marksandspencer.com/cotton-striped-slash-neck-fitted-top/p/clp60494767?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share

I have this one and would recommend as a good option, just make sure that you get at least your correct size as the arms are a bit tight, but otherwise it's a yes from me!

SuperMonkeys · 29/04/2021 14:09

Uniqlo or joules. The latter often on eBay.

SomeCatsLikeCheese · 29/04/2021 14:12

20% off on a lot of stuff at Boden this weekend...

AlexaNeverListens · 29/04/2021 14:13

I second TK Maxx. I've had a few from there.

Miseryisabutterfly · 29/04/2021 14:16

Cos do lovely ones for under 20 quid.

Try the White Company, great quality Bretons.

FedNlanders · 29/04/2021 20:43

I buy all my Boden tops on ebay!

Place marking for ideas, thanks for all the suggestions

Seasalt Cornwall sailor tops are great, £29 each or two for £40. Good quality and wash well.
