Shoppers say Roman’s ‘flattering’ floral top is ‘ideal for spring’

If you’re feeling inspired by the sunny weather, a good floral is one of the easiest ways to get into the spring spirit. The best way to do it is through your wardrobe, and we’ve spotted a flower-print Roman top that’s perfect for shoppers looking for a simple yet stylish way to embrace spring prints.

The Floral Print Notch Neck Top normally retails for £35, but thanks to a site-wide promotion, shoppers can get it for £31.50 by using the code FEB10 at checkout, reports the Manchester Evening News. It’s sold in two lovely floral patterns: a beige with purple crocus flowers and greenery, and a white with an abstract blue pattern, both available in sizes 10-20.

This top is the ideal transition piece after months of being wrapped up in several layers, as it’s made from a viscose-blend that keeps you cool. Its gathered 3/4 sleeves and notched V-neckline give it a boho flair, while its shape, which flares out long from a gathered waist, makes it very flattering and comfortable.

It would look great paired with jeans or wide-leg trousers and could be worn loose or tucked into a waistband. It’s also light enough to take you all the way to summer, and the shorter sleeves are perfect for wearing with your favourite bracelets.

One potential downside to the top is that it can only be hand-washed, which may be a concern for some.

The Roman top has achieved an impressive average rating of 4.8 out of five online. One said: “Lovely fabric. Top is great with jeans or trousers. Ideal for spring.”

Another customer said: “Lovely smart/ casual top which can be dressed up or down. Wore mine with jeans and a navy jacket to do ladies who lunch. Many positive comments.”

One enthusiastic shopper was so impressed they’re already requesting additional colour options, writing: “Love this top, fits great and looks great, have had a lot of compliments. Please make more in different colours!”

It may be worth considering sizing up, as some customers say the top runs a little snug. One noted: “Lovely top and design, although a little bit tight around the chest. A little bit small for a size 16 and the elastic for the puff sleeves on the arms a bit tight.”

Sizing up appears to be the ideal solution, as one satisfied customer confirmed: “Bought this in the navy and white, love it, and flattering, but maybe size up. I cut the elastic on the sleeves to give a flared sleeve! Even better! Please make more of this style and flare the sleeve instead!”

Another said: “Just love this top! I usually steer away from patterns, preferring plain as a rule, but this was so pretty I took a chance and am so glad I did. It is easy to wear, doesn’t crease, goes fab with denim jeans, and even my husband likes it! Quite a flattering shape, hides my spare tyre easily.”
