Joules get it right.

It's a nice shirt, but the neck/collar doesn't suit me. You either need long hair or short hair, not shoulder length like mine where the collar gets in the way. I prefer a crew neck.
I know I'm currently in different climes, 22 degrees here, but I've fished a colourful striped Boden top out of the wardrobe for tomorrow. The sleeves look a bit long?! We'll see.
By the way, why do some posters look up the price when someone posts on here, then start tutting how expensive something is?

I tried to buy the blue version on line a few months ago, but all outlets were sold out. I am still a fan of Joules.

Seem to be some here

Not keen myself - looks like a Pajama top - but each to their own (although I do realise from past posts that were not really supposed to disagree). Pricey (for me) too at £69.95, but again we’re all different.

I found the quality had gone.

Lots of the children's dresses were cut wonky for example - which is particularly noticeable with stripes!

Rosies! For goodness' sake! You just made me go and spend money at Seasalt! 🤣

Might explain their slight resurgence

I thought Joules had gone bust.

I too prefer stronger colours PurplePixie I’ve got a turquoise one on, a couple of years old from Tu, cheaper as well, as you said, horses for courses.

I have avoided Joules for a few years, but this year I have purchased a couple of beautiful garments (navy blazer and long coat) they seem to have upped their game.

I just find them too colourless and boring. Thank goodness we are not all the same.

I like those too, a bit of a twist on the old Breton. I've got a bright blue top on today to look summery - but a thin thermal top underneath it. It's a bloomin' cold breeze that's blowing 😄

I know we all got sick in the past of their ubiquitous striped Breton tops but I think they have made a welcome return to the market place - albeit online .
I have just bought a sweatshirt top to join another I wear a lot, and what I like is the combination of warmth for cooler days, like today (16C and cloudy) but “summery” colours so it doesn’t look as is I’m wearing my winter woollies.
Ideal for a UK Spring/summer IMO.
