Loose half sleeve t-shirts

20 replies

thenorthernluce · 26/08/2018 20:17

I’m really struggling to find t-shirts with proper short sleeves ie ones that cover more than just the top of the upper arms. I think what I’m looking for is half-sleeve t-shirts, but most I’ve seen online seem to be tight around the arm rather than slightly loose.

Has anyone seen what I’m looking for? Preferably online as I struggle to get to the shops these days (#baby). Thank you!

No advise for you but I would like to know the same.

These are not half sleeve but they are loose around the upper arm and a nice non clingy material. m2.hm.com/m/en_gb/productpage.0568137003.html

I bought a good quality white T-shirt with proper short sleeves last week from the men's department in Next.

Uniqlo is worth a look?

These come in lots of different colours and I think they're brilliant. Very expensive but last and last and don't twist at all. Not sure if other colours are in the sale. They do cotton and also a no no cotton version so be careful! And no...I have no affiliation with Whistles!!

I've got a couple from Boden.

LoniceraJaponica · 27/08/2018 08:46

My T-shirt was £6 BTW.

The Boden ones mentioned by weebarra - boatnecked and half-sleeved - are currently on sale, in some sizes and colours www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/clearance/womens-view-all/tops-t-shirts/j0108-dbl/womens-klein-blue_ivory-the-cotton-boat-neck-tee

Asos do half sleeve as a length option I'm sure.

thenorthernluce · 27/08/2018 12:29

@LoniceraJaponica what was the neckline like? And size-wise, what would you recommend?

@tonsattingforbjudes those Whistles t-shirts look perfect - thank you!

And thank you to everyone else.

I bought some from Lands' End some time ago. Limited sizes are in the last chance section for £6 LandsEnd

You might find something elsewhere on the website though.

The neckline is a crewneck. I am a size 10 and a small is a nice baggy fit.

The high neckline suits me as I am not large of boob.

Twistella · 27/08/2018 13:55

Primark slouchy t bought a size up. 2 each I bought 10!

Cos?

PleaseLetMummySleep · 28/08/2018 06:39

Uniqlo

LoniceraJaponica · 28/08/2018 07:06

This is the Next T-shirt. It is a much thicker material than any of the women's T-shirts I have seen.

I have bought this in black and navy. Love the khaki but they didn't have my size.
I love the sleeve length and the quality is very good for the price. They're so comfy and flattering. For a slightly loose fitting top they're very slimming.
I ordered a size down though as they come up a bit big

Lizzy1980 · 28/08/2018 07:55

Looks like they've gone up in price. Sure I only paid £15. Still good value for money though, I've been living in mine.
Hope this helps
