Holiday attire does not get much more fitting than Next's Blanket Stitch Embroidered Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt With Linen. Adorned with a Greece-inspired print, it features the words 'Mykonos' and 'Santorini', alongside Greek vases and marine life.
Priced at £35, the shirt is available in seven different colours and patterns. Crafted from 90 per cent cotton and 10 per cent linen, it is designed with a relaxed, easy-going fit.
Alternatively, Phase Eight's Marisa Linen Blouse is a worthy contender, currently reduced to £65 from £99. Made from 15 per cent linen, it features delicate blue floral detailing.
Elsewhere, Joe Brown's offers the Joe's Embroidered Shirt for £55. The crisp white shirt boasts charming embroidery throughout and distinctive wooden buttons.
Customer Reviews and Feedback
Back at Next, the shirt has earned an impressive 4.5 stars from 15 reviews. One shopper remarked: "Lovely great quality shirt. I love the colour, it's great for my spring summer work wardrobe and I can wear it casually too."
Another customer gushed: "I recently bought this beautiful blouse, it looks gorgeous on, stunning, lovely design."
"Ordered this in a couple of sizes down as I didn't want a too loose shirt," a third added. "Absolutely love it. Took it away on holiday and wore it in so many different ways. Unbuttoned over a suntop, tucked into trousers and knotted at the front with shorts. So comfortable too."
Potential Drawbacks
A few customers raised concerns about the sleeve length being excessive. One reviewer commented: "This is a pretty lightweight shirt. A bit disappointed at the weight of the material but it fits well and will be worn over a tee-shirt anyway!"
However, another satisfied buyer remarked: "Perfect summer and holiday shirt. Purchased recently as a lovely spring/summer shirt with beautiful edging and buttons. Sized down and still roomy."
