Does this top make me look boxy?

[doingmyboxin]

I feel that in addition to being under 5ft 2, I have a really short torso and am quite boxy.

I bought this top today, and now that I've tried it on, I'm not sure it does me any favours.

It only for casual summer wear, but I would appreciate some honest answers as to whether I should return it, or even if the regular fit might be better? This version is petite.

Thanks!

Not at all looks lovely

From the pic I would say it works and looks nice on you

No, it's lovely and really suits your figure.

Honestly I think it looks a little baggy and short.
I certainly wouldn't buy an even wider version of it. It already looks a little too large.

But it doesn't look bad and I only came to that view because I was asked to critically consider it.

It looks great! Where is it from? I'm also under 5'2 and would definitely wear that!

I'm no style expert & let me pre fix this by saying you clearly have a good figure. I don't think it does anything for you & it looks a little mumsy & dated. A decent t shirt would work much better imo

Any better with shorts?

@snackcurator from Next - £20

I love that on you, it's very flattering 😍

I'm going to see if they have it in my size, I've been looking for something like that.

Yes, I do think it looks better with shorts OP.

Loads better with shorts!

It looks nice!!

Good with trousers. Doesn't work with shorts IMO.

You have great legs! Wearing the same colour all over, instead of a light top/dark bottom, will make you look longer/leaner.

AMAZING legs. I think I'd wear shorts every day if I had legs like yours.
The top looks nice.

It really suits you and is very flattering.

It's a yes from me!!

Looks good (and I usually dislike a lot on S&B!).

Keep it!

I really like it and I think it suits you with trousers and with shorts. It doesn't look boxy at all.

Looks great on you! I ordered the same top a few weeks ago (not in petite) but was definitely too short on me at 5ft9!

I think the top looks fine on you but that's because of your fab figure, you'd look even better with a top which wasn't quite so boxy and wide.

Not at all it's a lovely outfit

I sort of see what you mean, but I think it works with trousers on you as you have long, slim legs and slim arms. Not sure about with shorts, think that does look a bit boxy - much better with trousers.

That peplum is there to conceal. All it's doing is adding unnecessary volume and hiding your waist.

It's not an unpleasant top by any means, but you have a great figure and I feel you can wear something more fitted.

Yes I really like it , not boxy at all

I think its lovely but imo could do with being a couple of inches, even an inch longer. Having said that for £20 I would still wear it.

A mix of replies! But each one appreciated.

For £20 it'll do me a few wears.

My stomach is my definite sore point, so anything too fitted or tucked just feels wrong. Unless wearing my scaffold pants, which I sure as hell won't be during the summer months!
