I've put in an order for a few Boden options and will report back. I have had luck with their knits in the past, but agree with K kards that the chest can be tight in some styles. Disappointed that Petit Bateau isn't shipping to the US at the moment...</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-work-in-person---and-breton-recs#post-2227334 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:29:19 +0000 rachylou 2227334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love my Boden blue and white with orange trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-work-in-person---and-breton-recs#post-2227333 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:23:01 +0000 Anonymous 2227333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe is faring well, the rest of me is not! They made us go back 5 days a week (for no good reason) a few months ago. It's absolutely awful :(<br /> I was able to have good habits being wfh, so can wear my old stuff. I bought more structured things too for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-work-in-person---and-breton-recs#post-2227321 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 15:11:04 +0000 Angie 2227321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boden, J.Crew, Madewell, Everlane.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the Boden Breton I got in the Spring.

I’m thinking that when we return to office, casual will have moved more casual. I’m debating what I’ll do re hair and make up…but that’s another post.</p> <p>Re Bretons…i have one from Boden, and while i like it, I don’t love it as i find its a little more fitted across the bust than i really like. I bought one this summer from Nili Lotan that i love. Expensive, but the fabric is great and the seams match perfectly. On my ipad, so no finds, but they are available at Nordstrom&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/nili-lotan-arlette-stripe-t-shirt/5968207?color=NAVY%2F+RED%2F+NATURAL+STRIPE&amp;mrkgadid=3313965273&amp;mrkgcl=760&amp;mrkgen=gpla&amp;mrkgbflag=0&amp;mrkgcat=&amp;utm_content=9383769113&amp;utm_term=pla-316456058093&amp;utm_channel=low_nd_shopping_standard&amp;sp_source=google&amp;sp_campaign=645528200&amp;adpos=&amp;creative=57188931473&amp;device=c&amp;matchtype=&amp;network=g&amp;acctid=21700000001689570&amp;dskeywordid=92700049882385603&amp;lid=92700049882385603&amp;ds_s_kwgid=58700005465915029&amp;ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007631122&amp;dsproductgroupid=316456058093&amp;product_id=36365190&amp;merchid=1243147&amp;prodctry=US&amp;prodlang=en&amp;channel=online&amp;storeid=&amp;locationid=9005929&amp;targetid=pla-316456058093&amp;campaignid=645528200&amp;adgroupid=9383769113&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI89rr3Oqc8wIVCODICh2_Gw9eEAQYByABEgI9tfD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/ni.....+NATURAL+S</a><br />I’d also recommend checking out this sweater from the Target Collab. Calling it a sweater is kind of misleading, as it is technically a sweater, but its a lightweight cotton with small cashmere blend.&nbsp;<br />I have tons of other stripped tees, but they are more tee’s and less Bretons. But overall I’d take a look at JCrew as they usually have something.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-work-in-person---and-breton-recs#post-2227291 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 14:25:16 +0000 cat2 2227291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Boden striped tops; they are well made, so worth the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-work-in-person---and-breton-recs#post-2227288 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 14:03:51 +0000 notsaf 2227288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Reemerging now after about 2 years mostly WFH, and I have discovered that many of my favorite pieces are worn out or don't fit. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>What I could get away with on Zoom calls I can no longer get away with in the office. In particular, I've had to cull for tight shoulders in tops and blazers, baggy waists in almost all my bottoms, and subtle stains that don't do in person. And I find that I've gone from more of a pear shape (often a 4 on top and 8 on bottom) to more of an hour glass (6 up and down). Not the fall I was expecting!</div><div><br /></div><div>Some of the pieces I've had to pass on to recycling are my often-worn Breton tops: all are either too tight, too bagged out, or too worn-looking!</div><div><br /></div><div>Calling my fellow stripes fans: any <b>Breton tops</b> that you would recommend, especially ones that are <b>mid- or light-weight</b>? I know heavy-weight is traditional, and I may look for that later in the season, but it's still warm here in New England, and I'm looking for something I can wear immediately. <b>3/4 sleeves</b> are a big plus for my relatively short arms!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I know many here WFH regularly, have uniforms at work, or are retired, but for those who are back in person, how are others faring this season?<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p>
