Best place for good quality long sleeved tops?

21 replies

Fluffydogfluffycat · 11/10/2020 13:28

Have realised long sleeved tops are a massive gap in my wardrobe - looking to get a few and wondering where people recommend?

I like boxy/shorter shapes, or reasonably fitted (not long and shapeless), am busty size 10-12 and 5'3. Would prefer 100% cotton or similar. Thanks!

Thanks!

Probably should have said I’m looking for plain tops, no stripes or patterns.

I got some good plain ones from Dorothy Perkins recently, great for layering and not too long or baggy.

Uniqlo have a good range.
M and S can sometime have good finds too, especially in their heat tech range.

I have a few nice plain ones with various necklines from Boden and La Redoute

I have found the odd one in H&M as well, but the sizing is hit and miss there for me ; I have long arms and a long torso, and as much as I don't mind crop tops or cropped sleeves in the right circumstances, I would rather it's by design rather than because my clothes don't fit.

Thanks again! Have one on order from uniqlo so will see...

The Jigsaw cotton/modal ones are brilliant. The best I've ever found.

I have lots of M&S ones from the heatgen range. Different thicknessess and colours. The quality is good and they are about 12 pounds a time.

I've been happy with the ones I got from Seasalt and Fat Face.

2nd jigsaw. Perfect plain tops that last. Baukjen us good too.

fiorentina · 11/10/2020 18:10

Uniqlo, Arket or sometimes H&M, although their quality varies.

Asos. They wash well and keep their shape. I got a pack of 3 long sleeve v neck tops for about £25 last year, and they still look great.

CremantCharlie · 11/10/2020 20:30

Uniqlo, mine have lasted years. Also Tu (Sainsbury's) and M & S.

FinallyGotAnIPhone · 11/10/2020 22:20

I’ve got some great ones from Hobbes. I always buy them in the sale but they’re still quite dear. They wash well though and last for years.

Lumene · 11/10/2020 22:24

I have some from jigsaw and joules that have lasted for many many years.

RomaineCalm · 11/10/2020 22:29

Landsend. Mine have lasted for years.

Overoptimistix · 11/10/2020 22:52

2nd for Boden! I just replaced all my long sleeved plain tops from there. They are cotton and have a good choice of necklines.

ageingdisgracefully · 12/10/2020 07:20

Lands End. I've got several from there. They wash well and come in a range of colours.

CrepuscularCritter · 13/10/2020 09:16

Next for me. They sit about 3 inches below the waist with a fit that follows my shape. They have made it through several years without fading, shrinking or losing any stitches.
