Where can I buy t-shirts that don't look like dishcloths?

[BoogleMcGroogle]

I get that 'lovely, slubby fabrics' so ( cheap and) beloved of Boden etc. are having a moment. But I'd prefer not to pay £27 (Hush, I'm looking at you) for a t-shirt that looks like I pulled it out of the kitchen sink after just one wear. And generally prefer to keep my bras a little more concealed than such rumpled monstrosities allow.

Where can I find lovely, well fitted, natural fabric t-shirts? Happy to buy online or in a real shop, but they are proving very elusive. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem?

I get mine from &Other Stories.

Lovely quality, wash really well and a few different fits available. Also the quota is in no way see trough which is a win!

I know exactly where you are coming from. These days the quality,fit and fabric ( and often design ) is total crap.

Also Cos and Arket - cost £12-19

Uniqlo supima tshirts

I have a rainbow of them, in different colours and cuts

It's like trying to find the Holy Grail. How difficult should it be to find plain cotton tee shirts that aren't see through yet not £££? Still looking

@clionba honestly try some of the brands mentioned above. Not expensive and made with thick (but smooth), not see through cotton.

Second COS, the past 3 years or so I have bought very nice t-shirts there, including silk ones. All wash and iron well.

Gwynfluff - thanks, will do. I like Cos and will definitely give the others a try.

Supima is what to look for in cotton, I prefer M&S over Uniqlo which on me seem more of a "male" cut somehow, but supima cotton isn't the slubby stuff. I have just handed over all my slubby ones to dd I am 52 FFS, I can't have my nips and my belly button showing through at work.

I have been looking at the Mint Velvet over-dyed ones, I love the colours, but was just saying on another thread, they look like slubby stuff, and I'm not paying £30 for a primark stylee see through piece of cloth!

Will also check out the other recommendations here.

Uniqlo used to be great but I just got one online and I am very disappointed with the quality.

Just bought this one.

@Unexpectedbaby
Never come across and other stories before. Think I may have found my shop! Thanks

What size in uniqlo for a 12 ? Want tshirts not too clingy on tummy but not baggy

& other stories have lovely clothes, but returns have to be via a dpd drop off and they don’t do exchanges, so I don’t order from them any more.

Bam bamboo clothing I bought 3 T shirts last summer avd have been wearing them often ever since. They still look new. Pricey, but worth it.

I love Uniqlo but hate their t-shirts - too clingy and short. Best I got last year (so they've stopped doing them, naturally) was a Gap 'vintage wash' one. Got one Hush one which is ok but way overpriced and would never wear for work - too casual.

That M&S one linked is part of the problem - possibly an ok fit but has horrible unnecessary lacy embellishments on the shoulders.

I like the lacy bits.

Another vote for Uniqlo here

Sorry, that was pretty rude of me. I'm not an embellishments on clothes person.

It's v subtle irl - no rhinestones or sequins.

I have a lovely white t shirt from Arket which cost £12. Lovely, thick 100% cotton and nice fit. Would recommend sizing up as sizes are on the small side.

I know it's not popular on here but I like Primark T-shirts (the plain cotton ones, not the patterny tat). Good quality smooth cotton, choice of necklines and fitted/loose, and not see through, although obviously you do have to buy about two sizes larger than normal. I notice that M & S have started doing similar ones instead of the horrid thick cotton ones in grim colours.

Great thread, thanks!
