Gym tops

Does anyone know any good gym tops please?
I don't want a vest but something that is quite long (ie doesn't show your stomach when you stretch up) and doesn't ride up when you bend over.
I have a Nike one that is perfect but it's so old now, definitely past it's best but ticks all the boxes.
Thanks.

Can I ask why you don't want a vest? If you're doing cardio, anything else will get hot very quickly. Decathlon is great for longer-line vests and t shirts, and it's cheap too.

Fellrunner - I'm a bit older and don't feel comfortable in vests. I know it doesn't matter but it's just how I feel. I always wear a t-shirt and the added sleeves don't make me any hotter.
I just need to find this elusive top!

@Cannothtinkofaname I am also older and would not feel comfortable running in a vest. I have been looking for a longish top too - it's hard to tell isn't it if buying online as the models tend to be tall and they don't often give the length. Don't know if this is any good for you but I have just bought an underarmour one from Amazon that just covers my bottom, so hopefully OK. It's 26 inches long. I am 5" 5, and after reading the reviews I bought a large as I didn't want it figure hugging. I haven't run in it yet, but on trying it on I am happy with the fit .

I wear a men's plain black T-shirt from Tesco. £5 i believe. Cheap, cheerful and MST of all, baggy!

I wear breathable hiking tees to run in - they are perfect!

H and m has some nice looking tee shirts in their sports wear at the moment, although a lot are khaki or dusky pink if that works for you?

Thanks for all your replies. My problem seems to be finding a top that doesn't ride up when I bend over in pilates or other classes.
Decathlon had a good selection but I really need to be able to try them on first which is a bit of a pain as I'd have to order quite a few in different sizes.
The tricky bit is getting it slim fitting but not skin tight. I shall keep on trying Smile
