Long length top for layers

31 replies

I've been looking for good layering tees/vests for AGES. Maybe layering tops is the wrong word but I mean:
Tight, thickish material, longish length tees or vests that form the under layer.

I find that some of my tops or jumpers are more flattering if there's a layer to be glimpsed underneath. But all my old layering tops have lost their stretch or have holes, and can't be replaced. Everything I see in the shops is either too thin or baggy (doesn't sit right) or normal length (can't be seen peeping out from under the over-layer).

Anyone seen anything?!
Thanks!

Another vote for M&S. I have a whole load of their vests (both strappy and with long sleeves, the Heatgen ones) and they're great. Nice selection of colours, stretchy, soft, and hold their shape well. Can get longline ones. I wear one (or two if it's cold!) pretty much every day, under whatever other outfit I'm wearing.

I swear by H&M for longer strappy vests but I'd really like to find a long or 3/4 length sleeve plain tee for layering, the ones I've got (H&M and Primark) don't stick out underneath the top layer and I end up wearing two vests to get the length, long sleeved plus strappy!

I don't rate much from Long Tall Sally, but their long vest tops are brilliant. They are lovely & long, good quality & wash well. They aren't exactly cheap but they normally have a saving if you buy two. I have loads of them.

I’m always looking for non clingy, long layering tops mainly because I like to hide the tops of my thighs....well as much of my thighs as possible. I don’t normally use Freeman’s but there’s just loads on there. Above a couple of examples.

I go to matalan just for those long vests. I just wish they did them in more colours.

Adding a shout for M&S longer length vest tops. Usually on offer, better range online. I wear a different one every day!
