Scoop neck, long sleeve tops; where are you?!?!

15 replies

I have silly boobs which means I can only wear scoop (or v neck with buttons) tops. I own 3 styles in 4 different colours but they are all very dull (fine for work as a childminder but not really good for non work).

I'm going away in a couple of weeks and really could do with buying 2/3 new ones that are a bit snazzyish, but still conform to the style that suits me.

Any ideas where to look!?

There's loads of just plain black, grey, blue ones etc in M&S.

If you are looking for something a bit dressier then I think it may be worth expanding your horizons a bit!

If you have silly boobs (as in fabulous knockers) can you not consider a v neck for a bit of cleavage and overall oomph!?

Seasalt have loads of scoop necks and v-necks with buttons. Joules also have v-necks with buttons. I often have problems finding v-neck (only style to suit me) so surprised you can't find them!

I already have ones that are similar to DP (thanks Herbietea), Joules (thanks Celia and accessorizequeen), I just want something a bit less plain I guess. Not evening dressy but not work like either.

Bethelbeth, yes I do mena silly boobs as in quite brilliant really, just hard to dress down! I'm quite slim, (size 10ish) but have 34E boobs, wish such a curvy shape dressing for the day can be tricky. V neck and overall oomph is not something I shy away from, but the sort of v neck that suits me is that slash v neck (if that makes sense?), which are a bit booby for day wear. Plain v necks just look weird on me?

I'm thinking scoop necks like this:

link 2, actually quite like this, but cream doesn't really suit me normally!

something with a bit of pattern

I have scoop necks in grey, white, black, navy, pink and purple plain, the same colours again in stripe, I have v neck buttons in red, burnt orange, grey, mustard, royal blue. I also have all those again in short and cropped sleeve.

All the nice smart casual tops I have are short sleeve and I can't find anything long sleeved; for example I have a lovely bandage style short sleeved tshirt in white with little hooks at the neckline to make the v as deep as you like.

I think I'm not making any sense? The cold has got to my brain!!

Southeastastra, thanks I will have a nosey in a second.

I quite like this but it's a bit pricey for my needs Sad

Should I add I'm 27 by the way?!

Not sure if you can get Victoria Secret where you are but I've bought some great ones from their webstore in the past with much success. hth
