Can anyone recommend any fitted but not skin tight vests?

Hi, I've got several nice skirts that I don't wear very much because I haven't got tops to go with them. I think vest tops would look right but the ones I've got are pretty tight fitting and in this hot weather I don't want anything too tight so I'm after fitted but not clinging. I have one vest top that's just right but I bought it about 7 years ago! Any suggestions? Not too expensive please! Thanks to anyone with any suggestions!

Next do a woven one:

I have it in black and its a nice shape and you can alter the straps. I am going to get one in cream.

Thanks Greengardenpixie. I might order one of those because I think it will do the job although I'd ideally like thicker straps.

If anyone else has any ideas, my other requirements are not too low cut and no pocket on the chest! Smile

I have this but the colours might not suit and bare in mind it has quite a prominent metalised thread running through it.

There also the loopy scoop vest from white stuff in a variety of colours:

Had two delivered today from Dorothy Perkins. £5 each, 2 for £8. They are ribbed, little bit of lace/frillage at neck and shoulders, fitted without being tight.

Thanks Greengardenpixie , you're very helpful! I'm not sure about the metallic one- well, I like it but not sure it would go with my skirts, I think I'd be more likely to wear it with jeans. I don't like the other one, not keen on v necks either!

Ooh, loopy scoop vest very similar to the vest I have on today! Thank you! Smile

These are the ones I bought - selection of colors.

Can anyone recommend any fitted but not skin tight vests?
BetweenDogandWolf · 26/07/2014 20:40

And I like the other white stuff one too Flowers.
I'll check out Dorothy Perkins too as sadly they're more in my ideal price range! But the white stuff ones could be a worthwhile investment if they mean I wear my skirts again! Grin

OP, what skirts do you have? I have several vests similar to the ones suggested but no skirts to go with them. I have been looking for skirts but haven't found anything that goes.

BetweenDogandWolf · 27/07/2014 08:28

MrsDesperado my skirts are from a variety of different places and all bought some years ago so sorry I can't help with links.

My best vest purchases are always from Banana Republic and Tommy Hilfiger. Stretchy and last brilliantly

BetweenDogandWolf · 27/07/2014 20:56

Thanks everyone Smile
