Black vest tops for under clothes

43 replies

withgraceinmyheart · 02/02/2022 08:06

I like to wear a vest top under my top to smooth out silhouette. Not control ones, just a normal top. Any recommendations for good ones? Needs to be long with spaghetti straps.

I normally get these form h and m but I don’t think they’re coming back!

M and S have several different styles of vest that I put under jumpers etc. Close fitting and smooth lines and often on a buy two for less sort of deal.

I do the same fo the same reasons, but I don't know many people that do. I use H&M and Topshop.

Next have long length ones in their tall range online.

Primark is good, lasts ages ime.

QuizzicalEyebrows · 02/02/2022 09:07

I like wearing fitted Sweaty Betty vests under tops in the summer

littlefaith · 02/02/2022 09:11

Another vote for M&S thermal tops. Very thin and clingy, super stretchy, keep their shape and nice flattering wide straps. I've got black & grey ones.

Boden's were always good (cotton with elastane) but haven't purchased any for a while so don't know if they still are

littlefaith · 02/02/2022 09:12

Oops, sorry, just saw you wanted spaghetti straps!

ShirleyBadass · 02/02/2022 09:13

I have a few from Zara which work well.

Possuminthereddress · 02/02/2022 09:16

Uniqlo are great for this, loads of different choices for summer and winter.

Nomicron · 02/02/2022 09:17

Primark are great-I’ve had some of mine for over 10 years!

MintJulia · 02/02/2022 09:26

H&M have a range of colours (including black & white) and they last well, made of cotton with a sensible amount of lycra. I buy two or three every year, and this year's and last year's are in the drawer at the moment.

Same! Got a few that are starting to look a bit shabby but they're about 15 years old and as they're never on show I've decided not to replace them till they fall apart!
Danikm151 · 02/02/2022 10:10

Primark, Asda, Matalan, have plenty and they last ages

+1 for Uniqlo!
buntywindermere · 02/02/2022 13:18

I thought my Primark vests were doing well for 5 years! Pleased to know there should be plenty more life in them. I also have some from M&S. Don't notice the difference at all.

deathofastrawberry · 02/02/2022 13:23

Primark ones are good, the ones I bought have adjustable straps.. I have some H&M ones but the straps are so long!

I like Matalan ones , great for thr money . I wear them all summer !

BlingLoving · 02/02/2022 16:17

I have a selection from Next and M&S. What drives me crazy is that they always change. So I had ones from M&S I liked, but when I went back, fabric was all much thicker, less stretchy. I just want them to say the same!

Interested to hear votes for Primark. We don't have one nearby by am going to be near one next weekend... might take a look as need new ones.

liveforsummer · 02/02/2022 16:19

Asda do a good range, I get them there now jacket H&M stopped doing the previous ones I got

PollysPockets · 02/02/2022 16:21

I agree with previous posters- Primark hands down!

liveforsummer · 02/02/2022 16:23

I've not managed to get the longer line vests on primark last couple of times I've tried. Only found in Asda, oh and Matalan

Mercurial123 · 02/02/2022 16:29

Muji. I've been wearing them for over 20 years.

Clarabellawilliamson · 02/02/2022 16:38

Yup, primark longline ones.
