Where can I get good quality vest tops

23 replies

lillie21 · 11/03/2015 08:55

I'm constantly looking for decent quality vest tops to wear under blouses/dresses, just plain colours like white, black navy but
cant for the life of me find anywhere that does them.

H&M, zara, even m&s all seem to be made of high % Lycra but I want something morecottony.

Happy to spend up to £10, any recommendations gratefully received, thanks!

I got some last year from next and matalan. Both washed well.

jaws5 · 11/03/2015 09:11

Gap have nice quality vests.

DiDiddlyIDi · 11/03/2015 09:17

I am a big shopper of quality over price, I can vouch for primark's vests being excellent.

Chewbecca · 11/03/2015 09:39

Totally busting your budget (@£29) but I am pleased with the fit and quality of these vests.

NightOwl17 · 11/03/2015 10:05

I got mine from Next last year. They've washed really well & kept their shape & the best bit for me, the white one isn't see through!

Another slight budget buster at £15 but house of Fraser do these nice longline Hallhuber ones. Not washed mine yet but seems v good quality.

Again a budget buster, but the best vests in the world are Hanro.

This one's cotton but I wear their high lycra content ones. I would rather pay lots for 4 of these than £20 every year for 4 cheap ones, they last and last.

mewkins · 11/03/2015 12:19

Esprit do lovely ones in all colours for 12 quid. Free delivery too.

Jackieharris · 11/03/2015 12:25

I have an m&s one I like,

FoxyVeganJane · 11/03/2015 12:40

Mango are good and they have an online outlet shop. I buy their Lycra ones but they have loads of choice. They're reasonably priced too. x

FoxyVeganJane · 11/03/2015 12:41

Stupid x. In text mode. Honestly that x seems to be a ridiculous norm so much so I seem to stick one anywhere.

Boysclothes · 11/03/2015 12:41

Anyone got any recs for silky loose vests to go under kimono tops and the like? Tummy is a problem so nice and floaty?

MrsMarigold · 11/03/2015 13:32

I always go for gap maternity ribbed sleeveless vests 95% cotton good quality and long rather than obviously maternity. I've got a long body and have kept on buying these as they are ace, you never get that chilly unsightly gap.

MrsMarigold · 11/03/2015 13:32

Also loads of deals at gap they must be doing so badly.

MrsMarigold · 11/03/2015 13:34

In terms of nice ones that are pretty Eberjey are lovely but expensive

FrugalFashionista · 11/03/2015 13:55

My faves are from Decathlon (ribbed racerback, so comfy) and H&M (the long spahetti strap 3.99 or 4.99 one...). I have more expensive ones too, but really prefer these!

FrugalFashionista · 11/03/2015 13:57

Oh and I absolutely hate high Lycra content, yuk.
Sorry about shocking spelling Wink

magicgirl74 · 11/03/2015 14:05

Hush do lovely vests iv got one in every colour but they are about £20 each

Lovewearingjeans · 11/03/2015 15:58

Tesco have a basic black vest, which is fab, they bring it out every year and is not too see through or clingy. I love a black vest top I do!

WagonWheel · 11/03/2015 17:15

I just bought a black one in M and S and it's lovely. It's a modal blend and really good quality plus the armholes aren't too low!

lillie21 · 11/03/2015 17:54

Fab, thanks so much for the suggestions, have a lot to try!

Yes to Matalan. They do a great extra long one for layering which is like the Baujken one at a tenth of the price.

goodasitgets · 12/03/2015 01:54

Adding to the matalan recs. adore their long ones. Also have some strappy m&s ones I like
