Short sleeved cotton tops that aren't tight or sail-like...

[MillionPramMiles]

Any tips for pure cotton tops with short sleeves, suitable for work in a warm office? I can only find tight-ish t shirts, acrylic tops, sleeveless tops or tops that are very loose/long (I'm short/size 6-8 on top so they're a bit flappy).

I seem to have been searching for years to no avail....tips gratefully received.

I'm a short 8-10 and I have just received a nice one from Boden. My only gripe would be that it is not quite as long in the body I would like, it comes to around my hips I think.

Oh sorry perhaps you didn't want a t-shirt?

Old Navy has some very comfy tops that might suit. I like the short sleeve tie-front boho tops.

Naice: I find t shirts a bit too warm and close fitting for work in the Summer. But I can't seem to find anything short sleeved and in cotton that isn 't a t-shirt.

Coughie: are they fairly conservative in colour/neckline do you know? Another problem for a shortie is v necks are often too low...

Boden have a few. 20% off if you order before midnight.

I've got the Boden Spring Broderie top. It's loose but not billowy.

What about shirts?

Looks like I need to check out Boden! Had written it off as not smart enough for work but will take a look.

KiKi - agree I think I need to look at blouses. H&M ones have been a bit too fitted though (and have shrunk in the wash in the past). Also looked at Zara and Mango though they all seemed quite see through.
Good to know H&M do some pure cotton stuff though.

I have to buy a size bigger in H&M but haven't had them shrink.
