Love it!
Yes, I recommend this
I have several of these M&S shell tops in this shape and material and they never disappoint. Loose, cool, comfortable and ideal with jeans; also nice dressed up with something smarter. I get my usual size 10 because I think this style is not meant to be tight fitting. All my tops like this are easy to wash and don't really need ironing either. Happy customer.

Lovely flattering and comfortable top!
Yes, I recommend this
After reading the reviews I ordered a size smaller than I would normally get and I'm glad I did as it fits perfectly! This is a super top - it's a loose fit design but even at a smaller size than usual it still has a relaxed shape. Very flattering (the vertical pattern has a great slimming effect!) and very comfortable. The fabric is a lovely lighter weight but not flimsy and excellent quality. This top is very versatile as it can be dressed up for a really smart look, or would also look great with jeans or shorts. The mix of white, blue and black is a great idea - fantastic teamed with any of these colours, but it will work well with other block colours too. I wore it with a taupe coloured crinkle skirt last night and the overall effect was fabulous. I'm planning to wear it with a range of other colours too. You wouldn't be able to wear a cardigan or jacket with very close fitting sleeves over it but a loose sleeved or batwing cardigan for example should be fine. Excellent value for money.

Nice fit
Yes, I recommend this
As described it is a very nice relaxed loose fit. Hope to find that it washes easily and dries quickly with no need to iron.

Great for hot summer days in the office
Yes, I recommend this
Some people may think this top comes up large but, bearing in mind this season's less fitted, 'boxy' styles, I think it's fine & actually just what I like for those very hot days in the office. It's light and roomy - good for the heat but still looks smart :)

Very big
No, I don't recommend this
Description says loose fit. Ordered usual size (14). It was very baggy and didn't hang well.

Big and Matronly
No, I don't recommend this
Depending on style, I can be either a 12 or a 14 top but even in a 12 this was big and shapeless. I didn't find the style or the pattern flattering and had to return the item.

versatile top
Yes, I recommend this
Bought this top in the navy and loved the style and fit.I had to go down a size because my normal size made the neckline to big and showed my bra straps. Love the side splits on the waist for comfort the material in the shell tops doesn't crease I nearly didn't buy this top becaused it said ivory in the description but saw it in the shop and it was navy and white. Great for any season under a jacket or on it's own more colours M&S please.

Comfortable And Smart
Yes, I recommend this
This little top is loose fitting and very easy to wear. The fabric drapes nicely and the stripes are smart. Goes well as a casual accessory or dresses up a suit. Yet to be laundered so I reserve judgement on washing and ironing.

Nice casual top
Yes, I recommend this
Nice casual top, boxy style so does come up big, but I like these kind of tops when you are busty they are ideal, I went down a size, lovely with a pair of jeans.

Don't like the sleeves
No, I don't recommend this
Nice top, did like it apart from the 'batwing' type sleeves. Makes you look wider than you really are. Also impossible to wear cardigan over the top. Black, blue & white stripes make it a versatile top to wear with any shade of blue or black trouser/skirt.

I was very disappointed with this item. I purchased a 12 and it was more like an 16. I have returned it. Unfortunately I have found that the sizing in M and S are not what they used to be.

Great top
Yes, I recommend this
Liked this top the minute I put it on! Easy to wear and to wash and pack and dress up or down. Bit on the big side so maybe buy one size smaller than usual. More like this please

EXCELLENT TOP
Yes, I recommend this
Lovely material nice a light and just falls so well over the body. I didn't have to go down a size in this one and it fits perfectly. Can't go wrong with navy and white. Teamed it up with white and navy trousers and it looks fantastic, now need the warmer weather to arrive. Thanks M&S nice one.

Short sleeved Shell Top. Nice style, but too big. Returning item unfortunately, but need to exchange for a size 20.

Too boxy for me.
No, I don't recommend this
Looked nice online and thought it would be a good top for work. Unfortunately I didn't appreciate from the picture that it was short and square. Most unflattering on me as I'm rather round, but might suit someone slimmer.

nice top
Yes, I recommend this
ordered a size smaller after reading reviews, however this top was still too big. Returned to store and bought a size 10 even though i normally buy a 14!

Quality, stylish - love it!
Yes, I recommend this
This is a lovely, relaxed top. Can be worn casual or dressed up. It is loose, could easily have gone down a size, but felt that to get the desired look should stay true to size. Fabric is lovely quality, washes well - no need for ironing. Many compliments when wearing this garment.
