Boden's £18 'perfect' shirt that 'doesn't crease' is a hit in 7 colours
We all have those days where we need to throw on a T-shirt and head out of the door, but there's no reason for the top to not look stylish. Instead of reaching for an old tee at the bottom of your wardrobe, it's worth considering one of Boden's popular options. In fact, shoppers are so pleased with the Isla Jersey Shirt that they're snapping it up in multiple colours. Originally priced at £46, shoppers can now grab the blue or white version with a whopping 60% discount, now just £18.40. Crafted from a soft cotton and modal blend, the Isla Jersey Shirt is cut in a straight and regular, easy shape that's neither too tight nor too loose. It's designed to fall between the waist and hip, making it a versatile piece for both casual lunches or office wear. For money-saving tips, The top is finished off with raglan sleeves that add a sophisticated touch to the otherwise casual blouse. Shoppers can pick it up in sizes four to 22, most of which are still available online. If you like the silhouette but not the light blue colourway, not to worry. It also comes in pink paisley, priced at £41.60, white, £18.40, cerulean blue, £26, iguana green, £31.20, purple damson, £27.60, and ivory floral, which costs £52, reports the Manchester Evening News. Elsewhere, shoppers can bag two t-shirts for £40 over at White Stuff. Included is the Nelly Notch Embroidered Tee in blue, which retails for £35, as well as the £25 Abbie Tee, which is available in four colours. At Nobody's Child, the chic Black Gingham Tie Front Bernadetta Blouse has seen a price drop to £34 from its original £55. Meanwhile, Roman offers a White Eyelet Detail Embroidered Crinkle Blouse with a 10% discount when using the code FRESH at checkout, reducing the price to £23.40 from £26. Over at Boden, the Isla Jersey Shirt is receiving high praise, boasting a 4.4-star rating from over 60 reviews. A happy customer commented: "So great I bought another. A really pretty summer top, true to size and comfortable to wear." Another happy buyer remarked: "Absolutely love this top, so cool in the hot weather, doesn't crumple or crease. The material is soft and comfortable, that's why I bought three in different colours. "Absolutely love this shirt," declared another. "Planning to purchase another in a different print. Light and perfect for summer. Fit was great - sleeves are not tight at all, and love the fabric." However, one shopper wasn't as impressed with the Isla Jersey Shirt, describing it as 'shapeless' and leaving a three-star review: "The pink pattern is lovely but the fabric is very lightweight - the cut was on the large side and quite shapeless." They added: "Not sure what was going on, it's as though AI designed it, the neckline sat at an odd level, undoing the buttons did not make it look like the photos online. Plus, I was expecting a lot more from this price point." However, another shopper was thrilled with their recent Boden buy, stating: "I bought this top in pink a few weeks ago and liked it so much, bought it in blue. Great fit, lovely material and both have been well admired."

New Look's 'beautiful' £19 top looks 'just like' £80 luxury version
The retailer is selling a style similar to one offered by a luxury brand but it is a fraction of the price New Look is stocking a "beautiful" top that resembles a luxury style. The high street retailer is known for its affordable clothing and might have a new crowd pleaser on its hands. For shoppers looking for an asymmetrical style, New Look offers its Off Shoulder Scuba Top for £18.99. Four colors are available: black, off-white, light green, and light yellow. The top resembles a trending style that shoppers can expect to see lots of this summer, with everyone from Next to River Island stocking off-the-shoulder tops this season. What's more, New Look's top arguably looks similar to Reformation's Cello asymmetric ruched jersey top, which is £80 from Selfridges. Both tops offer an off-the-shoulder style with gathered detailing. However, they vary in length, as the New Look style has an asymmetrical hem. There are also differences in fabric. Reformation opted for 88% lyocell, 12% Spandex, while New Look opted for 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane. The product description for New Look's top states: "This off shoulder scuba top makes a great choice for dressing up or down. In black, it features an asymmetric design and a gathered side." Elsewhere, Selfridges says the Reformation top is "fitted, asymmetric neckline, ruching at front" with "midweight, slight stretch." Despite this, New Look's style could be just the ticket for fans of the style keen for a more affordable top. For shoppers looking for an alternative, options include Next's Drape Asymmetric One Shoulder Top, on sale for £11.50 from £28, or River Island's £39 Drape Scuba Top. The product description for the Drape Asymmetric One Shoulder Top states: "This stylish top has an asymmetric one-shoulder design with drape detailing, crafted from a soft and breathable jersey fabric, finished with a trimmed sleeve hem." Other off-the-shoulder styles include Mint Velvet's Sleeveless Knit Top, on sale for £39 from £79, and Nobody's Child's Off Shoulder Ruched Top, on sale for £23 from £45. The product description for the Shoulder Ruched Top, states: "Day-to-night dressing done right. Coming in chocolate brown, this bardot top is fitted in all the right places. Just add your favourite jeans." Nonetheless, shoppers might prefer New Look's Off Shoulder Scuba Top. The style has received high praise from an impressed reviewer, but not all feedback has been positive. Reviewing the style on New Look's website, one happy shopper wrote: "Beautiful yellow top very nice on." Less impressed, a reviewer wrote: "Not a great cut, looks funny." Someone else with mixed feedback shared: "The quality was good but it just didn't flatter my body type. it felt uncomfortable across my stomach but that's just me." To date, there are no more reviews. However, shoppers keen to read reviews before purchasing could check what's being said by New Look customers on Trustpilot for more customer feedback about sizing, quality, and delivery.
