When it comes to wardrobe basics, everyone needs a striped top to rotate across all of their outfits. The M&S Pure Cotton Striped Slash Neck Slim Fit Top has only gone on to prove it, especially as it's a bestseller on site with hundreds of reviews and counting. It certainly helps when that striped top in question is also a complete bargain, coming in at just under ten British pounds.
As you may have guessed, the M&S striped top is made from 100 per cent cotton for a soft, comfortable and breathable fit. Its slash neckline and three-quarter sleeves add an up-to-date, chic touch to your standard striped top. It's effortless to wear yet instantly elevating, and perfect for all of your everyday looks. And, reviewers can't help but agree...

Currently available in an inclusive size range from UK 6 to UK 24, the M&S Pure Cotton Striped Slash Neck Slim Fit Top also comes in a navy and gold stripe mix.
Selling fast, many shoppers are eyeing up the top as we speak, and it's been selling more than hundreds of times in the last five days alone. One reviewer took to the comments to say, 'This is going to be a favourite of mine throughout the year. Have had many comments about how lovely it is and asking where I got it from.' While another raved, 'Good cotton tops - a real bargain buy for cotton. Very comfortable, good fit, can wear with everyday items of choice. Highly recommend.'
Breton tops and stripes have seen a revival as of late, dubbed the 'French girl' must have that everyone needs in their roster by fashion writers online. Becoming a repeated wear on fashion icons of the '60s, such as Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, the striped top is a timeless staple that can be styled in an endless combination of ways.
Personally, we'd lean in to their '60s vibe and style them with a pair of black capri trousers. Alternatively, we'd also style them with a pair of flared or wide-leg jeans, complete with a basket bag, to nail the Jane Birkin influence. That's not to say you can't throw the top on with a silky black midi skirt to dress it up a bit. Just add a pair of heels and you've got your party outfit ready.
With so much styling potential, the M&S Pure Cotton Striped Slash Neck Slim Fit Top can be worn with practically anything. It doesn't matter what style of jeans you wear it with, you know that it'll always look the part. Denim shorts, overalls and skirts - you name it, this top can really do it all.
We particularly love the fact that it comes in a range of inclusive sizes from UK 6 to UK 24 and also comes in a navy and gold stripe for a totally different take on the look. We'd say the white and navy stripe just takes the cake for us, as it nails the chic, French girl vibe effortlessly.
However, given that it's a bestseller and selling alarmingly fast, we'd bet this top isn't going to be in stock forever. In the time it took us to write about the top, size UK 18 has already completely sold out - and we can only hope that it's restocked. Don't wait!
