Striped T-shirt Hell

[HairsprayBabe]

I have recently lost a butt load of weight and now none of my favorite things fit me. I am trying to replace old faves but I am just getting cross because the shops are annoyingly not still selling the exact same clothes I bought 4 years ago, rude I know.

Any way - I am looking for a tight fitting 3/4 sleeve striped t-shirt with a low scoop neck in either navy/white or black/white, cream is also acceptable. I will consider other blues or reds, as long as I can get my basic black or navy.

Distance/thickness of the stripes isn't super important, and ideally I would like to spend £10-£15 or less for each t-shirt as I would like a few.

I cannot find what I am looking for anywhere, everything is too high in the neck or really thin material or is weird and baggy/slouchy! I feel like I am going mad.

Bought the previous ones from Matalan so not like shopping in a strange outhere place.

Where can I buy a stripped t-shirt that fits the above description that won't cost the earth? The only one close I have found was in John Lewis but I wince at paying £35 for a bloody t-shirt!

Any input would be appreciated!

Possibly useless - I have some from Cos which fit your brief, but mine are mustard/white, green/white and grey/white and I'm not sure on other colours because I wasn't looking for them. I think they were £17.

[jcscot]

Would this one do? It comes in a few colour combinations and was on a two for £40 offer. I have one and it's really good thick jersey that washes well.

La Redoute? The l'essential ones are nice thick cotton.

My favourite striped t-shirts are from Boden - very nice thick material. Bit pricey but they have 25% off tomorrow, might be worth a look

Or there's a navy one here:

I have this one I think, full sleeve but otherwise very nice

I like joules and crew for plain t shirts . They aren't mega expensive and wash really well.

[LockedOutOfMN]

I've got last year's from Zara, super cheap, washed and worn very well, no yellowing under the armpits. Sleeves are full length, though.

[CherylVole]

the best is the Baukjen one - but its $$$

size down

[fiorentina]

I second Cos for stripy tops, they are great quality and usually in lots of different colours.

[HairsprayBabe]

Just had a look through all the suggestions

Cos look too baggy might work if i size down? A bit high in the neck for what I am after, decent price point though.

Joules are nice, but too high in the neck and a bit pricey.

The price of the bajuken ones made my eyes water

espirit ones are too high in the neck again - I am super fussy, very large of nork so hate anything that comes up high.

Found this in New look but wrong colour this is exactly what I want in black or navy.

The Mistral one is ok, looks sort of high at the neck, but I do like the arms what is the returns policy like for there? Might buy and send back if I hate it.

The Zara ones are too baggy/slouchy and high in the neck.

Have looked in pepperberry but the prices are too much for a tshirt for me. Will check out the Boden sale later today, might also try M&S and even bonmarche as I am really struggling!

Thanks for all the suggestions, sorry I am such a fuss pot!

Primark have some that are surprisingly decent quality and wash well.

[daisygirlmac]

Have you had a look at TK Maxx? I got one from there, 3/4 sleeve with a scoop neck, lovely thick cotton. I think it's from Arabella and Addison. Have you looked at Gap?

[DoorKnee]

Second primark, some of my longest lasting t shirts have come from there. I also have Boden which are great but they may be too high for you. Have you tried asos?

[Maudlinmaud]

Primark all the way. You will find lycra tight fit in various necks, scoop, slash, round, v neck; in all colours and stripes. Have a look. I think they are great for casual wear.

[HairsprayBabe]

Right will look in primark at the weekend, didn't even think of there! Annoying they don't do online stuff though. I also hate the scratchy plastic labels they have in primark now so will just have to snip them out.

[Maudlinmaud]

No labels on t-shirts there. They have the size and style printed on the inside of tops now. Win! I hope you find something you like, I'm a big shopper and a bit of a label snob but I rate their t-shirts.

[PhuntSox]

Seasalt have some.

[NuzzleandScratch]

Have a look at Uniqlo, best t shirts around in my opinion, great quality & prices reasonable.

[AteRiri]

Uniqlo.

[FlindersKeepers]

Uniqlo

[LizTaylorsFabulousTurban]

I second Seasalt. They have 2 for £40 at the moment which I know is a little out of your price range but I bought two last spring and they wash really well, no piling, still wearing them and they look good as new.

[jcscot]

I've never had a n issue returning to Mistral but that's in store as I have one near me. I've never returned online. The neckline comes to about two inches past my collarbone, so it's a shallow scoop neck.

[Spottyladybird]

What about this in Debenhams?

[HairsprayBabe]

Uniqlo is too high in the neck,

The striped ones at seasalt are too high in the neck.

www.seasaltcornwall.co.uk/women/clothing/tops-and-t-shirts/3_4-sleeve-tops-and-tshirts/cousin-jinny-organic-cotton-t-shirt-top_french_dot_cobalt.htm this is the exact shape I want though, but striped

[HairsprayBabe]

YES!
That Jasper conran one is perfect! That is exactly it!
Thank you so much!!!

[MaQueen]

I've just picked up exactly what you're after from TK Maxx, and they're French Connection £15. I've bought them in red/white, navy/white, black/white.

Very nice quality
