T shirts

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

The million dollar question! I'm sick of buying crap black t-shirts and vest tops. I've tried M&S countless times (and they always end up being rubbish), H&M, John Lewis, Gap. None of them are any good.

Cos t-shirts are good but the necks are too high.

Why can I get decent plain, short sleeved t-shirts or vests, with a slightly scooped neckline? I won't shop in Primark, want it to be a real shop not online, and I don't care how much they cost if they are good!

Please help.

Seconded!! Except I'd also like them to be cotton!!

Jigsaw pima cotton

I looked at the Jigsaw ones, but they are only 47% cotton.

Hopeful bump...

The White Company

I'd like to know this too. Also they have to be long enough that I can bend, reach etc without displaying my vast wobbly midriff. I would like a black one, a grey one and perhaps navy.

Uniqlo? But don't know if they last well...

I've seen Gap recommended a lot for good t shirts. They do long length too

Just got a black, green and blue on from peacocks of all places. Good fit. Haven't been through the wash yet so we'll see.

I'm a big fan of Uniqlo and their t shirts are lovely. We have a variety of plain and patterned versions, the quality is good and the tees wash really well.

I have this one which is actually from Morrison's - £4. Actually I've bought 3 as they are perfect, nice neck line, slim over my lumpy bits, I wear mine tucked in but they do go down to hip length if you prefer a longer line. And wash perfectly.

Arket do a range of t shirts including some ‘heavyweight’ tees. It’s 3 for 2. They feel like good quality.

I would say M&S relaxed which wash and wear perfectly or try Weekday, they are brilliant

I’ve been looking for this for a long time. I actually found the perfect black one in Zara last week. I want to go back for a white one too!

I’ve bought four from Dorothy Perkins today. Fit well, slim but not over tight and good sleeve width for the bingo wings. Jersey seems a good weight so hopeful they’ll wash ok £6 each.

I've had some surprisingly good T-shirts from Asos (their own brand Asos Design range) that wash well and keep their shape. I have a couple of black T-shirt/vest dresses from them that are into their 3rd/4th year of wear and still look good (despite a LOT of wear). Some stuff from Asos is shockingly bad quality fabric but I find their cotton jersey wears well and is usually well cut.

But it's online so breaks your 'must be a real shop' rule.

They're currently offering 20% off with code BACKAGAIN.

I get mine from & Other Stories and they last really well!

Arlen supposedly do really good t shirts too.

*Arket. No idea where Arlen is!

Oasis have some nice 100% cotton ones in at the moment

Can you get to a Toast? I've had a couple for at least 5 years and they've worn really well - kept their shape (without lycra) and the colours have lasted well too. I'd grit my teeth and get a couple more for this summer but the colours aren't right for me this time. Pretty sure I saw a black s/sleeved one though.

I was going to post the very same today. I'm looking for v neck rather than scoop but Not Too Low! Was going to try John Lewis but you've put me off!

Uniqlo

The ASOS Design ultimate ones are great. Soft cotton, hang and wash well and in a range of styles. I really rate them.

I find Fat Face t-shirts to be good quality and a nice fit.

Thank you.

Fatface haven't got much, but I'll have a look.

Arket ones are lovely and the quality seems good, but the necks are all high.

I refuse to buy any more M&S t-shirts - they always let me down.

I'm not sure if our JL does Toast, but if it does, I'll have a look. Will also have a look in the White Company.
