where do you buy your vests?

[foxysocks]

I'm pretty tall (5'9) and have a hard time finding layering vests that are long enough and wash well. any recs?

have had some success in H&M but am willing to pay a bit more if they last and fit well. primark aren't long enough for me. I like a high cotton content but haven't got on well with 100% cotton as they tend to bag too much during the day (grrr malene birger, am looking at you).

i just want basic colours - charcoal, black, white ideally. poss blush too.

thanks!

I know the ones from Miss Selfridge are very long.

They are a little transparent though in the lighter colours, but they're only two for £12 (I think).

[BinksToEnlightenment]

They do stretch slightly though, so I'd recommend getting one size down.

[cocolepew]

Primark do long ones.

[Goober]

I am 5 ft 10, I get mine from Primark.

Esprit.

I got some long ones in Matalan

I'm about 5ft 6 and they come just past my bum

I second esprit.co.uk
The basic long vests are 12 quid and come in a variety of colours. small amount of elastane to keep shape. I wear one most days.

Sainsburys. They can almost come down to my knees with a little help. I am 5ft 3 ....... Cheap as chips and good quality, I was most surprised. I buy some every time I'm in a big Sainsburys. Luckily don't have one near enough for grocery shopping .......

[sweetheart]

I've tried various ones and always go back to H&M, they wash and wear so well you just can't beat them IMO

[lurkingfromhome]

I really rate the Miss Selfridge ones too (2 for £12). They're really great for layering as they're so long, but as binks says, go one size down as the ribbing makes them pretty stretchy.

I bought mine when longline vests were in a few summers ago. I bought about ten and looked after then. They're not longline on me.

Next do vests in their tall range which is for 5ft10 and over?

[Theweek]

Baukjen. Viscose and elastane so not cotton but the basic length is longish- I am 5"6ish. They do have an extra long also. Wash brilliantly, don't bag or ride up. Love them.

[JeffFaFa]

Having this problem too, im 5'6 but obviously long bodied, i bought H&M ones and they were rubbish not long enough and thin material, i bought one from river island long and covered bum but after wearing half an hour the neckline dropped to below my chest! think i will try matalans next

[foxysocks]

thanks everyone, lots of suggestions for me to look through!

the espirit ones look good, I might try to go and try some on this weekend

i can't find the baukjen extra long ones, theweek, only standard length which I don't think will be long enough for me? can you find them on their website, am I being dim?

I found these which look the perfect shape but the material is putting me off - 95% viscose is surely going to be too sweaty for summer?

thanks again everyone, appreciate the advice

[caffeinated]

Sainsbury ones are really good quality.

[joliejolie]

I second Primark...they are very long. Bought a few the other day that cover my bum when pulled down. Great quality too, considering they are £2.50!

[JambalayaCodfishPie]

Have you washed them yet Jolie? I usually find you can tell a true Primark bargain after the first wash!

[Theweek]

Hmmm.... Did I dream about the long version, it isn't there now. Sorry!

[MrsMarigold]

I've gone for gap maternity vests even though no longer pregnant they are long.

[Callisto]

Thought you were going to be talking about hideous thermal granny vests and I was about to jump in with ' YOU WEAR VESTS??? OMG HOW OLD ARE YOU???'

Layering vests I have are from French Connection (long and v stretchy) and Next (basic and cheap but ok quality).

[NotADragonOfSoup]

Esprit online do free returns :)

[foxysocks]

haha callisto! tbh in this weather I enjoy them as much for the thermal properties as the layering look.

right, am going to order some from espirit and see how I get on. ALL online retailers should do free delivery and free returns, tis the Right and Proper way.

[coraltoes]

Stop stop stop!!! Try Hush, they do a longer length vest for layering...it is AMAZING

[TomDudgeon]

Another for sainsburys
I'm 5 11 and they fit well and wash well
You do do have to make sure you get the long ones though

[JambalayaCodfishPie]

I can't see the Sainsburys ones online, is it in the store only?
