Roman’s £20 crease-proof summer top that ‘covers all the right places’
Roman shoppers are flocking to the fashion retailer ahead of summer to snap up not just one, but multiple versions of a ‘striking’ top that is perfect for holiday. The Bardot Stretch Top is priced at £24 and is available in seven different colourways, ranging from navy floral to green and pink prints.
While the Bardot Top normally retails at £24 full price, we’ve discovered a clever way for first-time Roman customers to secure 25% off, bringing the price down to £19.99. Simply enter the code AFRPLC25Q226 at checkout to apply the discount.
This offer is valid until the end of June. For existing devotees of the Roman brand, however, the retailer’s seasonal discount code can take 10 per cent off — just add JUNE at checkout instead.
Adorned with a bold and eye-catching floral print in its navy colourway, this top features a flattering Bardot neckline with a front tie detail that elegantly showcases the décolletage. Crafted from stretchy jersey fabric, the top boasts a comfortable, flowing silhouette that many of us will crave during any future heatwaves, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It features short sleeves that, when worn off the shoulder, fall to just below the elbow.
With its vibrant palette spanning shades of blue, pink, orange, purple and pink, the Bardot Stretch Top will likely prove a versatile and reliable wardrobe essential for summer — and shoppers are already hailing it as perfect for teaming with white trousers and jeans.
With a relaxed fit that beautifully flatters the neckline, the Bardot top has an approximate length of 60cm, making it an excellent choice for those seeking something comfortable that gently skims over the stomach.
Although if something with slightly more definition and fit is required, this Pure Cotton Printed Off The Shoulder Top from Marks and Spencer is £49 and features an elasticated shirred hem to enhance the silhouette of the blouse. This detail is mirrored on its cuffs.
For additional decorative touches, this Ecru Floral Print Puff Sleeve Bardot Top with Linen from Next, £30, boasts a button-down front and bardot neckline that can be styled either on or off the shoulders.
Nevertheless, Roman’s Bardot Stretch Top has proven hugely popular with fashion enthusiasts, achieving an impressive 4.8 star rating, with customers loving its wrinkle-resistant qualities thanks to its viscose and elastane composition that appears particularly well-suited to travel.
One shopper left a glowing review stating: “Lovely summery top, nice material doesn’t crease will look lovely with white trousers or jeans. I bought size 12 my usual size for Roman and it’s a generous size 12.”
Another person commented: “Absolutely love my new top the colours are striking, good summer vibes. Fits really well , so a yes from me thinking of reordering another colour.”
A third shared the enthusiasm and said: “Absolutely love it, the colours are striking and so many people have given me compliments. Bought the green and white one too, it’s lovely but not as striking as this one.”
While one shopper adored the top overall, noting it has “lovely bright colours. Great for my holiday and warmer days,” they did highlight one minor issue: “Elastic sleeves can feel a little tight at times.”
Though this didn’t detract from their experience, as they concluded: “Overall very comfortable.”
Others remarked that it’s ‘very stretchy’, meaning they could have opted for a ‘size smaller’. It’s worth bearing this in mind before purchasing.
That said, the top has largely accrued glowing reviews from customers, with one shopper writing: “Lovely top for warmer weather and I look forward to wearing it.
“Covers your arms in the right places and looks flattering on. Pretty colours and a nice material that will wash well and hopefully not need ironing.”
