The new Tribal print Boxy Top
Boxy Origins
After the success of the Poet's tunic, I knew we needed something else in our collection. A lot of our customers dress in larger sizes so I wanted something not too blousy, not too frilly, not too girly. Then I thought, why don’t we just do a really pared back version of the Poet’s Tunic? We took the cuffs off, removed the pockets and made it like a box-shape which is literally what the mid length Poet's tunic is. It was cut shorter so that it could be tucked in with either a French tuck, or worn out loose. It's the perfect example of how a garment evolves here at Bedtonic - none of our pieces are static and are always up for reimagining!
Why is the Boxy Top so popular? (Over 200, five star reviews!)
It’s effortless and easy wear. We get it, shopping for clothes online can be tricky. But the shape and simplicity of structure makes this a safe staple that ANY body can wear. Over time, we've created the Boxy tops in flannel, cotton, organic cotton. We've also done a twill, hemp, a linen/cotton twill (which we sold probably 600 of in one fabric alone!). The Boxy top is the third biggest seller for us now. They truly are a wardrobe staple, an any-season garment you can rely on!
Let's Talk About Sizing
As with most of our garments, the Boxy top was really designed to be a one size fits all. We are size inclusive and our pieces are deliberately oversized (hello comfort, sleeping, gardening and travel!), however, some of you felt a bit swamped in the top and we need to look after our smaller ladies too! We went back to the drawing board and made some adjustments so that the top is now offered in three sizes - S/M, M/L and the L/XL. We love listening to and value your feedback in how our pieces make you feel, so please write your reviews!
What’s to come for the Boxy?
We have the most incredible limited edition print just in for the Boxy Top, the Tribal print. It features watercolour style artwork by a Portuguese artist and the colour way is exquisite, featuring warm and earthy tones for all seasons, but especially tying in nicely with our other warm and rich colour ways this Winter.
To celebrate the coming season and arrival of our new print, we are giving one of these Boxy beauties away! Simply leave us a comment below telling us what colour you'd like to see the Boxy Top in future and why - remember we are listening to you! One lucky winner will be randomly chosen and notified here and by email. Giveaway closes Friday 14th June at midnight, AWST
GOOD LUCK! COMPETITION NOW CLOSED - Thank you to everyone who entered and left amazing feedback below - we certainly have so much inspiration for our next drop! Congratulations to our winner Di Nowinski from Victoria.

I’d love the boxy top in grey or deep green, or navy……oh gosh I could go on forever because a top in each colour would be the perfect addition to any staple collection x it’s just pure love

Vicki Watson

Kristine Silvy
I love your clothes and would love to see this boxy top in a rich mustard colour.
Maria Fisher
As a woman in her 60’s who is aging gracefully and no longer dyes her hair, I am now quite conscious that not all the colours I loved and suited me as a brunette now suit me, so I am always on the lookout for softer colours to suit my complexion. I already own the soft blue boxy top and love it to bits, I especially love to wear it on long haul flights as it is so comfortable and warm.
Mary
Love to see the boxy top in a bold black and white stripe with the stripe travelling down body and arms. I have several pieces from the Bedtonic range . They are so fabulous and always so comfortable to wear
Lyn Harris
Hi there
I would love to see this top in an olive green colour ❤️
Trudi White
I would love to see the boxy top in a tasteful red, or even a French Breton stripe could be cool.
Megan Adams
Would love to win
Lorraine Bradley
I love green/ blue/ turquoise and would love to see a turquoise/green boxy. This colour reminds me of the sea and I think would be great colour to wear either in summer or winter
By the way I love the tribal print!
Laura Ross
Deep ochre please, earthy and warm ♥️
Love your work, Nat 😊
Natalie Harkin
Bright, canary yellow! In these wintery months, we need all the help we can get to bring on sunshine!
Lindi Bell
I would absolutely love to win one of these.
Love what you have changed to create this m
Janette Elmore
I’d love to see the boxy top in a pastel apricot. Would remind me of long lazy afternoon spring sunsets with a cool mojito.
Tracey Macbeth
I love the white. Looks so clean and fresh
Kim Brekelmans
Colour wise with this top I am thinking continuing monochrome.. great with denim and white pants .. you could go indigo, various blues and white. You could drop some black into it so black ir even mustard pants or skirt could be worn. Good luck with it. Always love your emails arriving and options. Jude McColl Yass NSW
Judy McColl
It would be great to see the Boxy Top available in either a sky blue or a mustard. I love both those colours and they can be paired with so many other colours or prints 🤞
Jackson Di
Love these Boxy beauties! How amazing is the new Tribal print one! Wow – just wow!
Janine
Hi, I would love to see the boxy in a neutral warm beige to be worn with everything…
I am also thinking slate grey would be nice too..
The new design is amazing! I would love to win for my mum xx
Krissy Thomas
I just love the tribal print boxy top. I saw it hanging with the skirt when I bought my last Eva top I think it was just after your photo shoot of something. I would love to see the boxy top in something like the gingham jumpsuit (it was the green coloured one) from last season that I just missed out on for my son’s wedding ☹️.
Susan
I think that the Pantone colour of the year, Peach Fuzz, harks too much back to the 1980s and 90s, so I recommend that the boxy top adopts one of the colours of this year’s Cherrywood Hand dyed fabrics challenge, specifically the reds or greys: https://cherrywoodfabrics.com/products/poppy-challenge-2024
Karen Smith
I love my boxy top and have almost worn it out. Nearly every time I wear it, people compliment me on it. Please keep making them in many prints!
Heidi Duell
Turquoise because it’s a colour that looks good on everyone!
Melissa Clinton

My first body tip was a gift from a friend after I commented on her top. I have since bought 3 more. I love them, wear them for all occasions even under my jacket riding my Triumph Tiger 800cc motorbike.
Bel Howse
I’d love to see this in the olive or the check pattern you have.
Warmest x
Colleen Harris
Do easy to wear, cool, comfortable and stylish. It’s a winner every time and attracts heaps of compliments.
Alison
I love the boxy top, especially my white one with blue spots, just gorgeous ! I think it would be gorgeous in a silvery grey, either plain or maybe with a botanical print. Love the Tribal print Boxy.
Sue Cooper
I’d love to see the boxy in black! It goes with everything and is easy to wear 😁
Coleen Wright
A nice cream colour.
Federica
I have two dresses and two tops. I am an art teacher and love these prices for their comfort and for their luxury of fabric. Natural, breathable, with a hint of exclusivity. Colours? Greens please.
Wendy Mortimer
Oh, I want the watercolour again,
I put my order in, it was accepted, secretly doing a victory dance….then got a message my size had sold out😟.
I keep checking to see if it might return.
Deb Burt
Last year I bought the Indigo Drops Boxy Top in the LG/XL and was very pleased with the fit and the look. So many people complement me on this top and I wish I had listened to my husband and bought two instead of one! The blue in the fabrics you have are just my colours so please keep them coming. Thank You!
Jane Parsons
there was a gorgeous jewel green (emerald) in the linen blankets that I always coveted & thought would be gorgeous in a top – but basically any sea colour 🥰💙🌀🌊
Shana Durand
I’m loving the tribal print boxy top. I have the poets tunic and while I love it I am a bit swamped. Knowing the boxes top comes in a small size is perfect for me.
Sharon smith
Khaki would be a brilliant colour as can be worn with white, black, navy, pink, brown and everything in between!
Em Fitz
I have 2 Boxy tops already and they are a staple in my wardrobe! I would love one in a watercolour design in greens, blues and purples. I liked the one you had a few months ago but I didn’t like the red splotches – it looked like the model had been shot! Cool colours are great for summer and match with so many other pieces!
Kirsten McDermid
I’d love to see the boxy top in a beautiful dusk rose (not mushroom!) or powder pink colour way. As I age I am enjoying wearing much more colour & pink always cheers me up. I also get the most compliments when I’m in pink… it must be my colour! Thank you for running this competition. Tori 💖
Tori Oates
A gorgeous rosey floral in soft vintage shades
And a lovely green Olive or sage
Would be wonderful
Nicola Iwers
I would love a Boxy top in a cool shade of yellow e.g daffodil or lemon. Yellow is so flattering on certain skin tones (golden/beige undertone), and not widely available.
Lucia Bergold
I have 2 boxy tops, love them both. I have a soft twill small check top and the large blue check one. Both are amazing. How about mattress ticking? Navy blue and off white? Always looks smart and is very versatile.
Gay
Tribal print for me such a beautiful classic shape and perfect for layering down here in Tasmania x
Julie
I think the boxy top would look great in an olive green or a botanical print.They are gentle,earthy colours,connecting with the environment,a vibe that Bedtonic give.
Thankyou.
Katrina Hallion
I have no idea what colour to suggest. I have the beetroot and would love the blue one. Just keep designing. I love this label.
Amanda Wilson-Davis
As I am olived skin..
Qlive greens.. peach.. rose pink.
Colours would be so nice
Ji'zele
I love my black linen top very much, so comfortable to wear. However, the color washed out vrry quickly, kesving it on an ugly washed our black- grey, whichbis not wearable anymore.
Susanna
Love your clothes constantly wear the pieces I have and always get asked where I bought them .Would love the chance to add another piece to my wardrobe.
Cheryl Simmons
I’d love to see the Boxy in denim.
Karen Meyer
Green. There never enough green in the fashion of today. It could also incorporate some Australian flora.
