LONG tops: where can I buy them?

I’m fairly tall and post menopausal. I need longer tops to stop a builders’ bum when I bend over (sahm, so I do this A-Lot!), and make my outfits more flattering.

But they are so-far IMPOSSIBLE to find. Even maternity wear from M&S and H&M is too short.

I’m 5’ 8-9”, size 12-14, and mostly wear casual clothes.

Can anybody help. TIA.

I’m 5’11 and wear a lot of the M&S long sleeve T-shirt type tops, they come in lots of different styles. I don’t wear low rise trousers of any kind though so that might help.

I'm the same height and size as you OP. I get long vest tops by River Island from Vinted in a size 12. They are great to cover your bum - I wear with a short jumper or cardi.

I’m 5’ 9” and I am so fed up looking for longer t shirts and tops not just for exercise but for everyday.

I am sure there is some shrinkflation going on in that they make them shorter, to save on fabric.

LTS used to be OK but they have obviously heavily invested in polyester production!

I will follow this thread with interest.

Search for 'tunic' rather than T shirts/tops

I've just bought a couple of crewneck long sleeved tshirts from Community Clothing which are really long, I'm 5ft 8 and they come down well below my hips.
Not cheap but very good quality and British made.

New Look’s tall range (if it still exists) and Long Tall Sally.

Amazon have some long length type tops, tunic or t shirt style.

It is so difficult to find any tops that are long these days. I was in M&S last week and considering they have their A/w collection on the shelves so many tops and jumpers were maybe 24 inches long and short sleeved. Shrinkflation at it's worst.

Wow, so many good ideas - thank you all. I will try a selection. Wish our local LTS hadn’t closed down! I thought whole company had closed.

Love “shrinkflation” @ERthree

Forgot to mention Superdry. I've had several sleeveless and long sleeved long tops/tunics from there.
