On the hunt for the poor man's equivalent please!

Will try to attach pics, but it's the free people We The Free Arden Tee.

Love the long long sleeves (I have ape arms, and so things can be awkward length if not nice and long), love the wider rounded neckline, like the length, but could happily go a little shorter. I'm fairly tall/ long of torso, but I fear this long could look like a dress...

I'm wanting something long enough and slouchy enough to be comfy around the house over leggings post-workout, as I often don't have time to shower and change immediately with toddlers and babies in tow, but want something I can open the door in, or pop to the shop in for supplies etc.

£48 a bit steep for that purpose, my sahm wardrobe needs to be budget!

Any ideas of where I might find similarly long, slouchy tops? Not too fussed about colour :)

Thank you!

That is a lovely top, but I agree that it might be a bit too long. Some of these tops from CRZYoga might fit the bill, but they're not as slouchy as I would like:

www.amazon.co.uk/stores/page/50E28883-4F07-434B-AFA6-1146A4160F70?ingress=2&visitId=d85e222e-23c3-42a7-929e-e57fb58de402&ref_=ast_bln&tag=mumsnetforu03-21

This one might be a possible, but I'm not sure about the fabric and it only comes in one colour:

I'll keep looking!

Thanks! The amazon one possibly a bit snug, but the sleeve length does look very promising. The second asos one has good sleeve length too.

Yes, the PLT one is probably one of the few colours I'd not go for, as if I wear anything beige/nude I just look, well, nude...! And a bit poorly!

The first asos link is very promising, though I see what you mean about the material. I'm thinking more super soft slouchy cotton, and that one might be too "sporty" and not as soft/casual as I was picturing. Thanks for the links though! Certainly gives me hope that there are options out there!

This looks promising, but it's still a bit pricey:

I now really want a thumb hole top!

Just checked and on the seaspray colour (but not the red or navy) top you can get 20% off using code NEW20, which brings the price down to £24. Any it's free delivery.

LongDissidence · 10/09/2021 13:22

TK Maxx a good idea.

The locket loves one looks super comfy! But possibly too long for my needs.

That weirdfish one is perfect! Hopefully long enough to cover my bum a bit, and yes, it's the thumb holes as well as the length that I love Grin so this one is looking promising on all fronts. Thank you!
