I'm looking for some long tops to wear with skinnies. Not tunics more long shirts/tee's that cover your bum a bit.
I have this www.zara.com/ie/en/woman/shirts/three-quarter-sleeve-blouse-c269186p1383538.html which is a tiny bit longer on
me than on the model as she's about a foot taller than me Hmm

I'd prefer 3/4 or full length sleeves too.

I like this too but am looking for tops that will go with black / navy trousers

This from Mango?

Thanks, I like that top and the price Smile

I always forget about mango. What are their sizes like? You never know what size to order when it's that style of top. I prefer to order online as I always have at least one child with me so not ideal for clothes shopping.

I've just bought some very long vest tops from H&M, for layering under other tops, having pretty much given up on the shops making anything which isn't either a tunic, or short and boxy.

What are h&m sizes like? Have only worn their maternity stuff or bought kids clothes that seem to come up small.

I never get time to just browse the shops so always end up buying online but clothes never look the same than they do in real life.

I'm tying to get a little capsule wardrobe together as I'm in dire need of some new clothes but am trying to lose baby weight (well youngest is 18 months!!)

I find Mango pretty true to size in tops - small in trousers and dresses I'd have said. I was going to suggest the long vests for layering too, although I've found Gap t-shirts to be quite long recently (and have avoided tumble drying them to keep them that way!)

I bought myself some plain white vests from Sainsbury's yesterday - they are shockingly long. I'm only 5'2 but they are half way down my thighs! Will be very good in winter for layering though

Having found H&M tops to come up HUGE over the last year or so, the vests are true-ish to size. I bought medium (am a 12) and if anything they are a bit snug but that's fine as only to wear under things.
