Where do you buy everyday cotton T-shirts?

[DomesticGoddess31]

I've been looking for aaaaaaaaages for some t-shirts to replace the tired old ill fitting ones I currently own. I just want plain, good quality, cotton, with a little bit of stretch, not too tight but not stupidly baggy as I'd like them to look feminine. Why is this so hard?! Where do you buy yours?

I second Jigsaw - pima cotton T-shirts. Well cut and a good range of colours. I thought The White Company's one were great but now I think I should have sized up as they are a close fit.

Hush T-shirts Scatter Star ones are truly gorgeous but on the pricey side.

Another for Uniqlo. They wash so well.

Yeah, American Apparel shops are odd - I well, dp only buy online but good quality cotton and wash well. I normally love Uniqlo but have gone off their t shirts since they started adding elastane to them - makes them all hot and sweaty.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Thanks, Welly. I think I tried some of those on, but thought they needed a bit of elastane to help them hold their shape.

I have only ever been into American Apparel once. Everything looked pixie-sized.

Next has plain ones and they're inexpensive. Can be a bit boxy though and you do get what you pay for.

I like the ones with the 'short' sleeves that go half way down your bicep. I have three, grey, dark green and a sort of purple that are the same colours as a tweed jacket I have. I thought I saw them this summer too. They're about 4 years old. I have other black and navy ones that are older. I usually buy the slightly dearer thicker ones.

Uniqlo supima cotton - wash like rags, look like new two years on eg www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/180691

I have two Gap t-shirts that are so old, but I hate to throw them out because they are just the best. Otherwise find Sainsbury's pretty good - and they do do some Fairtrade cotton ones,

[SwedishEdith]

Agree that the quality of American Apparel is very good - order online. Have some ridiculously good sales.

[CallarMorvern]

I really dislike the M&S ones, they always go short and wide in the wash. I'm coveting the Jigsaw ones but I can't afford them. At the moment I've got some from George, which are performing surprisingly well, stretchy and a decent length ( I'm 5'10). I've a few Boden essential ones, but they vary so much, one is so thin it is only for layering, but the others are good.

[Bolshybookworm]

American apparel. Best quality for the price and they never shrink. I have some that I bought 7 years ago, wore them through pregnancy to about 7 months and they have still kept their shape. One has just got its first hole (I wear it at least once a week so it's been washed several hundred times!). Best thing is they don't change their basic stock so I can easily buy replacements. Holy grail of t-shirts! I like the summer T but is fairly tight fitting.

[soundsystem]

American Apparel. I order online now (wore a lot of stuff from there when I was younger but not so much now!)

[poppym12]

Gap, next and a couple I bought recently in the dregs of the m & s sale - two plain white tshirts for 4 quid. If they don't wash and wear well I won't be too upset.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Another vote for the Whistles ones - I wait for the sales. Wish they did more colours/prints though.

Welly - Which M&S ones do you like? The last ones I had lost their shape really quickly.

[olderthanyouthink]

Does anyone know where I can get good quality t shirts that are wide at the bottom and preferably a bit drapey, like these.
Long sleeve
short sleeve

(I have these but are either bobbly or holey now )

[Bavmorda]

Uniqlo, definitely.

[Momzilla82]

Another vote for Jigsaw- I have 5 in different colours. Go nicely under standard black work dress too in winter to change it up.

[Wellywife]

Sorry. H&M twisted out of shape on the first wash for me. Still using an old Zara one though.

[Wellywife]

I'm old so I get mine from M&S. Plain and the sleeve is a bit longer to hide bat wings! You have to be very selective with the colours but they do wash and tumble well.

[Rinceoir]

Uniqlo are good. As are Cos- they do some nice fitted ones alongside the voluminous stuff. Around £20. I got the perfect t in whistles recently. It was £35 but it's already been worn over and over.

[Mandelinka]

Uniqlo, hands down
Have 3 Ts and couple of cardigans, all at least 6 years old and they look like bought yesterday

[dragonsarebest]

H&M or Uniqlo

[Closetlibrarian]

What about American Apparel? I used to get my t-shirts from there (admittedly it was a while ago and last time I went into an actual store it was all gold leggings and fluorescent leotards)
