Shoppers love Next’s ‘elegant and comfortable’ top that goes well with skirts and trousers
Next shoppers love a “beautiful” £19 top that “goes with everything” and gets “lots of compliments.” The White Button Down Ruffle Sleeve Top With Linen is a hit with shoppers. Impressed reviewers say the “breathable” style is “perfect for day wear or can be dressed up for evening wear.”
It’s a style that’s proving popular for summer. Other options include New Look’s £19.99 linen look sleeveless top which might be better for fans of sleeveless tops, and ASOS’ £27.95 sleeveless tie back linen top from Hollister, which could suit shoppers looking for colourful linen, as it comes in a dusty pink shade.
Elsewhere, UNIQLO offers a £24.90 linen blend blouse in six different colours. Nonetheless, Next’s offering is popular with shoppers. It comes in a regular or petite fit, with various sizes available.
‘Beautiful’ £39 Boden dress with pockets is ‘perfect for beach’
‘Charming’ £35 Next light with ‘whimsical’ design is ‘super cute’
However, some sizes are currently low stock, and it’s worth mentioning that it’s not 100% linen. The product description explains the top is 70% livaeco viscose and 30% linen.
The description says: “The perfect summer top for every wardrobe. Choose from our wide range of prints and colours (although we’re positive you’ll want them all!) Pair with your favourite denim shorts or jeans for a transitional look – perfect for layering but cool and comfortable on its own on those hot summer days.”
One reviewer said: “This top is lovely for the warmer days, nice cool linen. It can be worn with shorts, jeans or a skirt. I’ll be buying again in another colour.” Someone agreed: “Lovely fit, stylish but still cool on holiday.”
Another fan said: “Lovely white linen top, very elegant and comfortable to wear.” A different shopper added: “This is a very nice fitting top, the length makes it suitable for wearing with skirts or trousers. The material is a nice quality & the top is well made. I have also purchased a couple of the patterned tops in the same style.”
Unfortunately, not all Next shoppers were so happy when reviewing the retailer on Trustpilot. While Next’s overall ranking is scored as ‘great’, with an average of 4.2 out of five, some shoppers reported problems with delivery and customer service.
For instance, someone wrote: “The staff in store are lovely and always so helpful. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the customer service online.”
Meanwhile, another fan said: “Lovely fresh top, ideal in hot weather as breathable. Goes with everything. Classic style and flattering.” Someone else thought: “Lovely piece of clothing looks great lots of compliments when worn. Sits well on your body and washes and irons nicely. Perfect for day wear or can be dressed up for evening wear.”
Another unimpressed shopper claimed: “Some of my order was missing plus delivered a day late.” A different shopper thought: “One of the parcels I received looked as though it had being sent back by someone, but had not been repacked. Very creased.”
Another response read: “Next is good, but their sizes vary so much – it literally takes ordering close to 4 different sizes before you find the one that actually fits.”
