Surely this shouldn't be so hard to find?

I want a black and white striped t-shirt - black, with white stripes. I want it to be quite fitted, scoop necked and bum length. This seems to be an absolutely impossible dream. I had an ancient one from M&S but wore it so much that it got holes in it, and have never seen another one.

Any ideas? Real shops please, rather than online only. Thanks in anticipation!

Have you tried whispers as my granny shops there BHS? I'm sure I saw some this morning when I cut thru the store. Failing that there were many a striped thing in H&M this morning!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 16:20

I'd forgotten about H&M. I haven't looked in BHS, and not sure I dare!

Is this the sort of thing? You may have to click on the striped one-not sure I linked properly!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 16:27

Too short. But thank you.

and I clearly can't post links Confused

Sainsbury's is usually good for this sort of thing. And sometimes fairly modish.

I had a long sleeved scoop neck stretchy, black with white stripes, from Primark

DanGleebals · 16/02/2015 18:16

Next have one but it may be a bit boxy? I can't link at the moment but I'm sure it's in their work wear section.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 18:23

Will look at Next, thanks. We haven't got a Sainsbo's that sells clothes and I don't 'do' Primark. Very no good, as I want a real shop. It really shouldn't be that hard! :)

Thank you.

Defo try H&M, I had a maternity one from there exactly like you describe so I'm sure they probably do non maternity ones too.

suze28 · 16/02/2015 18:32

Baukjen are vair long but no stripes. I thought of Esprit and French Connection but Esprit tops aren't long enough.
Boden aren't long enough either sigh

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 18:37

This is the right kind of stripes but too flipping short. M&S always too short now.

Stripy top on right looks good. Trying to track it down in America is somewhat less easy!
Think I'll go back to lesson planning Wink

It's like a tweet up on here atm!

Jakadaal · 16/02/2015 19:37

I have just got one from the Gok collection in Sainsburys today. Other option is Gap? Sorry not had a chance to check out their website but they are generally long in the body

Suze - your one is closest but not black enough.

Noddy - too short. I have a couple v similar to that, mainly from Hobbs, but am looking for bum covering.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 19:39

And don't even think about lesson planning yet, you loon!

I am after the same thing, but have the Primark one in the interim. Ironically, I am trying to replace an ancient and bombproof Primark top that dH murdered in a red-jeans related laundry accident.

You are bonkers with your 'real shops' criterion.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 19:57

Whistles one lovely but too short - and how the heck can they chargethat much for a T-shirt? Crazy.

Don't like the IM one.

I suspect the black round the neck on that one is too dark knowing what Remus is like for being so particular Wink
