Looking for a navy silk t-shirt (maybe a bit oversized/drapey?) or top to wear with skinnies for a casual night out - anyone seen any please? Thanks

Any of these?

Theory

top shop

jigsaw

Thanks Madammecholet, love the Theory top, but it's a little more than I want to spend at the moment, if only I could find a more affordable version!

The Topshop shirt is stunning too, may just buy that for work...

Any other suggestions would be gratefully received Smile

Massimo dutti have several - long and short sleeved. I've just bought this long-sleeved one.

And Cos have a plain short-sleeved t-shirt version, which looks nice although pretty casual.

I just ordered the Boden Ravello in a plain navy blue.

OOoo - I like that Massimo Dutti shirt Violet! As you said, the Cos t-shirt is a little too casual, nice though.

Flowery - I like the ravello top too, but theres a 2 week wait on all sizes, I should have said that I've been a little too last minute with this, I need the top for Friday night!

Thanks all Thanks Thanks Thanks

I have a Jigsaw one & just bought the Cos in navy & grey.
Quality-wise I think Cos has the edge, but will not be able to say more until I was the Cos ones at the weekend.
The Jigsaw one developed 2 small holes, no idea how, & can now only be worn under jumpers :-(

The Cos ones wash very well. I wash them on the delicates cycle in a wash bag. They look a bit of a disaster when they dry but come back fine when ironed.

That Topshop shirt is just lovely. Would look fab for work or evenings. Thank you MadameChollet.

MyMeMy · 25/08/2014 17:48

Worth knowing the Cos t-shirts wash well, thanks.

I used to buy loads of t-shirts and tops from Jigsaw, but recently the quality really seems to have gone downhill - I don't mind paying a bit more for something if it's really what I want, but expect it to last.

The Massimo one is lovely violet. How does it come up size wise?

VioletGoesVintage · 27/08/2014 13:59

Sorry, only just seen this, XiCi. I'd say it's true to size: as in I'm a 10 who tends to be an 8 in e.g. m&s, Next or Jaeger, and a 12 in H&M. The Massimo Dutti 10 is a perfect fit for me: elegantly slouchy without looking too big. Love it, and it appears to be excellent quality - although I haven't washed it yet.

This one? I love it but toddler having a priority taking growth spurt!

Is the Ravello nice? The Boden website and others on MN rave about it, and there's a 2 week waiting list!!

But it looks quite ordinary to me in the pics. Please explain the magic to me...

NotYouNaanBread · 27/08/2014 18:43

The Topshop one is lovely.

JuneFromBethesda · 27/08/2014 18:52

I've not tried the Ravello myself (but liked the look of it) but my sister has and says it's useless for anyone with big boobs ...

MyMeMy · 27/08/2014 18:58

I like the shape of the White Company t-shirt, but only the hem bit is silk, the main part is lyocell apparently. Thanks for the suggestion though Smile
