Cheap, long vests?

20 replies

I've got quite a few shorter jumpers and tops and quite like wearing a longer vest under them in the autumn but most vests only seem to come to crotch level, if not higher. I've had a few vests over the years that practically come down to mid thigh length - anyone seen any this year?

I got some cheap ones from primark that come just below my hips.

H&m do long ones. I also bought a couple of super long mid thing ones fom Sainsburys recently. They are a bit big up top, which I need to sew to sort out, but they are fitted and like I say, long. Only black or white though.

Thanks both. Am ideally looking for lower than just below hips. After a quick look I suspect the very long ones are back from maternity wear I've bought! That look seems to be quite common with pregnant ladies.

H&m ones with the spaghetti straps

My cotton primark ones cover my belly and go down to mid knicker range (and I'm tall)

I have a primark "vest dress"

CMOTDibbler · 03/10/2016 15:57

Primark do ones labelled as cami dresses which are lovely and long

lilydaisyrose · 03/10/2016 15:58

Next do long length vests - I have loads!

Knitella · 03/10/2016 16:17

Another vote for the H&M ones. There is usually a good selection of colours too.

weeblueberry · 03/10/2016 16:19

Thanks guys! H&M don't have my size in the long cami so I'll pop in to look. Next are nice too but the ones I've seen are a tenner each and I'm too cheap for that since I was hoping to get about eight. Grin

I'm 5ft 2 and the primark ones come to just above my knee, I've got them in grey, black, white and pale pink Smile

Hush do longer length ones. I haven't bought any but I no posters before have mentioned them being mid to low thigh.

Cheesymonster · 03/10/2016 20:40

Matalan.

Etak15 · 03/10/2016 20:42

Agree with pp the Primark 'dress' vest are long and cheap £2/3 ish

Etak15 · 03/10/2016 20:43

You can get them with thick or thin straps

Titsywoo · 03/10/2016 20:46

I just buy the maternity ones! Although I got a 2 pack from george this week that are long too and £10 for both.

ChishandFips33 · 03/10/2016 23:47

Matalan £4 (they do a £3 one too but it's hip length so be careful when picking them off the rack. In my store they are often mixed up!)

They wash well/hold their shape. Stretchy and don't ride up

LTS have some for £6 and £8, also try Next clearance, early morning is best after they have restocked

ginghamstarfish · 04/10/2016 09:04

I have some men's vests I bought for their length, M&S, but they have those giant armholes (why??). As I only wear them under another top they're fine.
