Can't choose between stripes and prints? Then this top is perfect for summer.
Fashion fans looking to add something quirky to their wardrobe can always count on Boden. The British firm has become famed for its vibrant patterns and fun designs.
One particular item that shoppers say they will wear "time and time again" are these Novelty Long Sleeve Jersey Tops. Even better, they are currently included in the retailer's huge summer sale.
Worth £44, these basic tees will update the casual jeans and top combo by adding something a bit different. There's a stripes and cherry print option that has been slashed to £24.20, while the stripes and navy heart combo is a tad dearer at £26.84.
Crafted from a soft and breathable pure cotton material, these tops boast the classic crew neckline and long sleeves design. Falling to between the waist and hip, the straight design means they are not too tight and offer a simple look ideal for casual days.
However, the vibrant navy striped pattern complete with either the cherry or heart emblazoned on the front ensures that the otherwise basic item will elevate any outfit this summer, especially when paired with denims and some flats.

Fashion deal of the week
Calling all fashion fans, as we have found the dress to compliment a golden, sun-kissed tan this summer.
It's Roman's White Lace Bodice Shirred Midi Dress, and it looks perfect for any tropical getaways or beach holidays. Costing £38, it boasts a strap-style design, with a chic crochet overlay bodice and a flowing midi-length skirt.
It's finished with a simple round neckline that can be easily layered with statement necklaces for those days it is being worn to fancier events, or for going out to dinner.
While the white colourway is ideal for highlighting a summer tan, it is worth noting that shoppers can also purchase the midi frock in both pink and black, with sizes all of them being available in sizes 10 to 20.
The strappy maxi dress has been the subject of glowing praise, as it has garnered a stellar five star rating from shoppers who say it "looks lovely with a suntan" and is "stunning" to wear.

Someone else agreed: "I love BODEN stripey tops and have several! The embroidery is nice and soft. The design is very eye-catching. Looking forward to wearing it."
The lowest review was three-stars, as one shopper was left disappointed with the sizing of the top itself and the design, writing: "This was a little large and shapeless. Motif is a little too large. A smaller size might be better."
Someone who was more impressed with the fit and style said in a more positive review: "I'm a US 14 and I bought the large. The fit is just right - not clingy and not oversized. The embroidery is really pretty. I wore it with a denim maxi skirt."
