Has anyone bought any nice tops / t shirts lately?

A combination of putting some weight on and the dreaded mystery holes means that I’m in need of a few new tops, both casual for wearing over jeans and smarter to wear with formal skirts and trousers to work.

What have you all bought lately that’s nice, not polyester (viscose, tencel or modal are fine), not cropped (ideally hip length), and not sleeveless?
Heavily discounted in the sales would be nice but not obligatory.
Thanks

Watching with interest!

Uniqlo is often good for basics, but if you want tops rather than t-shirts maybe not.

I have these in a couple of colours - they sit nicely and go well with jeans (though teal is my favourite and is sold out).

I got this in M&S on Saturday and it's my new fave! Only £8.50 and currently in 3 for 2 tops offer! 100% cotton, lovely sleeve length and neck shape and there's loads of different plain colour and patterns to choose from.

Nice T-shirt suggestions also gratefully received - I saw a rather appealing Hush one with a star on it. (I don’t have any Hush clothes at the moment but the Hushitas on here have worn me down).

I quite fancy this Gap cotton jumper which I think will be useful.

The Oasis T shirt looks tempting. My local branch has closed so I forget about them but I’ll check it out.

Is it just me or are Warehouse really crap at the moment?

On the back of the marks suggestion, I've noticed their straight T-shirt's have longer sleeves than you might get elsewhere. Great bingo wing hiders!

I've recently bought this from Next. Got it in white and brown - the brown is so much nicer irl than it looks online.

Ooh @PickleASturgeon that's nice! Is it large or fairly true to size?

SolitudeAtAltitude · 21/06/2019 16:33

Bit more unusual, but I am loving this (viscose and crochet) with denim pencil skirt or shorts: www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/tops/black-lattice-back-crochet-top/p/610494501

@YesQueen I'm quite a busty 14/16, so got it in the 16, which is a nice roomy fit on me fit on me - I don't like tight fitting clothes. Don't know it that helps any, but it's a really nice top!

YesQueen · 21/06/2019 17:06

@PickleASturgeon fab, I am a similar size so have gone for a 16

@ChanandlerBongsNeighbour, can you link please?

Processedpea · 21/06/2019 17:13

Tencel wrap blouse in light blue from gap. Think it was about 15 in sale

MuddledUpAgain · 21/06/2019 17:14

Roman have some nice floaty summery tops at the moment.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 21/06/2019 17:37

Sorry don't know how to link and don't have the battery left to investigate how until I get home later. Screenshot from website though.

Did it work?

MyNameIsCharlesII · 21/06/2019 17:42

Ooh I’ve also got the Next one linked to. Wearing it now actually. It’s very easy to wear whatever that means Grin

I have bought a couple of 3/4 sleeve linen tops from TKMaxx recently.

I love linen in the summertime

Fatkins · 21/06/2019 18:05

I've just ordered this, after joining this thread!

Not sure how it will look on obviously.

OneTownsVeryLikeAnother · 21/06/2019 18:26

I bought this from Next and liked it so much I bought it in the navy as well. Not great for a hot day but the weather's been shit here lately so I've appreciated the long sleeves.

SisterMaryLoquacious · 21/06/2019 18:45

Gosh what a pretty colour fatkins. Difficult to know how to pick a size and how it’s going to hang though (I hate online shopping).

OP posts:
Fatkins · 21/06/2019 19:22

Yes, I hate online shopping too op! My home town is crap though. We only have a few shops and I'm not especially fond of any of them! So online it frequently is.

Viviene · 21/06/2019 20:21

@SisterMaryLoquacious I had the same problem! I bought loads from Maje, Sezane and Massimo Dutti, all on sale, all cotton, all very good quality.
I am going to have a look in COS tomorrow.
