One pleased Next customer got the Crochet Top in Blue Pattern and remarked: "A lovely top to dress up or down, the colour mix is really nice and it's ideal for spring and summer days, the sizing is quite generous so I went down a size."

Another chimed in with praise: "Very nice and I got a lot of compliments off friends. Just go one size down as it's quite big."

However, not everyone found it to their liking, as some mentioned drawbacks like its wide neck opening, while another customer remarked that the orange shade was "a little too bright" leading them to return the piece.

One had reservations and removed one star from the review, commenting: "Lovely, dressy T-shirt, I thought it did shrink slightly when I hand washed it. I was pleased it came in the tall range as so many of new tops are very short."

But a shopper offered some advice: "It's boxy but I love it. You can wear it either tucked in your jeans or leave it out. At the moment I wear a vest underneath and put a cardigan or blazer over it. I like that I can layer it if I wanted to."
