Help me with good quality tops. PLEASE.

[EvelynWardrobe]

I have a couple of Seasalt striped ones, but am looking for something plain. Sleeves can be short, elbow or 3/4. Definitely not sleeveless. Grey, white, black, navy, bottle green, burgundy, dark purple.

It has to cover the lower tum, ideally to the bottom of the fly.

Shirts don't suit me, they hang off my boobs and make me look fatter than I am (size 16). Everything in Pepperberry is too short.

I want something that will last, I have five H&M t-shirts that after a month are ready for the bin.

Over to you!

I was literally going to post this thread. Every black t shirt I've tried in recently has gone see through.

I've recently updated my wardrobe and got some nice tops from Reiss, Whistles and Phase Eight - all heavily discounted in the sale. They were still expensive compared to what I usually pay (around £30 per top in the sale) but I'm hoping they will be better quality and last longer. I am 40 years old and a size 14 so need the same sort of coverage as you I think.

Somebody on here recently recommended the Jigsaw t-shirts. I haven't tried them yet, but am definitely going to have a look.

Boden? Cos?

[anchor9]

boden.

[anchor9]

yes jigsaw tshirts are lovely too!

[HensAndRabbits]

Baukjen does fab basic tee's. Nice a long too.

[Threehoursfromhome]

These Boden three-quarter length sleeve, double fronted plain tops have been a godsend for me this season. They are well made and quite fitted - do not suit drapey styles. If you google you should find a discount code for 20% off and free delivery.

www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/womens-tops-t-shirts/3_4-sleeved-tops/wo153/womens-double-layer-front-tee available in black white and navy

Also this dark green one, same design, which is in the sale

I really like long tall sally basic tops. They're not mega long on me but I'm 5ft 10, I need the room for boobs!

[Ollivander84]

This is the one I'm living in

Second Baukjen - have a look at H&M as they do decent tops in some stores.

[EvelynWardrobe]

Thanks! Those Boden ones don't look very long, I'm not convinced there will be tum coverage. Will get a couple of the Long Tall Sally ones, if for no other reason than according to their size guide I'm a Medium. Marvellous.
Will check Baukjen.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

How tall are you?

[EvelynWardrobe]

5'4", so I'm thinking with LTS I'll get extra tum coverage.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

5'2 here and the Ravellos cover all of my tummy.

[Killerqueen2244]

Mint Velvet have still got a few tops in their sale. I need to 'hide' my lower tum and found a couple of good tops that are long but not tunic length.

[fiorentina]

Cos or Uniqlo?

[PNGirl]

Uniqlo Supima Cotton ones. Magic!

[nina2b]

Zara and Uniqlo!

[nina2b]

Warehouse!

[nina2b]

Esprit!

[EvelynWardrobe]

Loving the exclamation marks!

Ive tried Uniqlo and they're too small. Length is fine, width is not.

Will look at Zara, but I had a top from them two years ago that shrank and I've borne a grudge ever since.

Warehouse, now there's a place I've not been since I was young. Will pop in and risk the 'old gimmer alert' klaxon sounding as I cross the threshold.

Hhm, Espirit. I had a lovely cardi from them some time ago, will have a look.

[iseenodust]

Usually a choice of decent plain long linen tops in TKMaxx.

Well, I haven't found a top I love on Esprit, but have bought two skirts, whoop whoop!
