I'm too hot. Are there any good tops around for a woman whose bra straps are wide and whose upper arms are not her best feature?

[ScummyMummy]

Big norks. Not massively keen on my upper arms. Otherwise average. But am boiling hot and sporting unattractive sweaty patches atm and getting paranoid that everyone is noticing. What's out there in the very cool (in both senses of the word) top department? Am going to find something this evening but don't have much time so any tips gratefully received.:)

t shirt is grand thanks, fish. My cheapo topshop wide strap vests are doing me proud too. A white stuff sale would be nice, wouldn't it?

I wear adorable XL thin cotton men's T-shirts from Matalan over my wide bra straps and batwings - it's a great look for the over-50

Hmm. Sounds intriguing, janh. I bet they look good on you but I'm almost certain they wouldn't cling to the right places on me.

They don't cling to any of mine, scummy, and that's just how I like it!

[thread hijack, JanH did you get my email a week or so ago? ] maybe I used the wrong address?

Thanks JanH will look forward to it!

Not that I'm known for my sesne of style but.... I wear vest tops with an unbuttoned, light, loose 3/4 length cotton shirt over the top. I find it cooler than just the vest top as my arms aren't exposed to the sun (and as a Kiwi, I'm conditioned out of sun exposure anyway) and the air can circulate.

Wear a mu mu

Thanks cod. Skint but will have a look anyway. Are you getting anything?

Yes, I am being sminko atm. Lime sounds v good. I got a really nice blue top with knot at the bust that was in the sale section before the sale started.

Don't worry cods- part of the reason I am a bit skint is because I have spent loads on myself lately! I am def the undeserving (temporarily) poor.
