Layering tops / alternative to Me+Em

[thedoorsandwindows]

Does anyone else make layering tops like these from Me+Em ? (The shirt/blouse types, not the polo necks). Am on the lookout for interesting cuffs / high necks / lacy v-necks to wear under jumpers and cardis. Me+Em is just so pricey.

Watching with interest!

Me too. They're gorgeous.

Love these, but gutted they only do up to a size 16

I'm amazed that M&S or Boden haven't brought out their own versions of these - Me+Em have been doing them for years and we can't be the only ones who would like a not-quite-so-expensive version!

Yes so am I frankly!?

I love me and em but at an 18/20 I can only just fit their knitwear so give them a swerve.

Often m and s pulls it out of the bag with 'dupes' of their clothing and style.

Those tops you linked to are lovely.

I've seen something very similar in a small boutique years ago. A stretchy jersey top with a shirt collar and a kind of bib effort at the front. Try independent boutiques that carry French brands rather than chains

Oh what a good idea! Also following for (hopefully cheaper) dupes!

Not sure if its exactky what your after but have you trued laredoute?

That first shirt is lovely Isitreally89 but to be perfect, the front and sleeves would be plain so there'd be no bulk under a jumper

Still not cheap but Baukjen do similar www.baukjen.com/products/agatha-organic-cotton-top-pure-white and there’s usually a 15% off code to be found. I’ve not tried these tops but in my experience their jersey tends to last exceptionally well.

Or this one:

Also no help at all with budget options, but Cabbages & Roses sometimes have cute layering tops eg www.cabbagesandroses.com/small-collar-t-shirt-in-organic-recycled-white-cotton.html I’ve never seen C&R do discount codes but their sales are often generous. And in my limited experience, quality has been excellent and their clothes have lasted well.

Looks like Boden have a cheaper option too www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/supersoft-frill-detail-top-white/sty-t1052-wht?cat=C1_S2_G18

I have bought high-necked broderie from oasis before but had to trawl through the range to find solids.

Something like this maybe:

www.oasisfashion.com/broderie-sleeve-woven-mix-jersey-top/BAA00080.html?color=106

I nearly started a thread asking the same, yesterday! There’s a few Me and Em layering tops on eBay (I have a saved search) though none in my size at the moment.

thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check them out. I have none to add but I will
update if I find anything. I agree this feels like it should be bread and butter for M&S

Thank you Valkirie, these are all good! Just need some v-necks now too 😉

(M&S, get on it!!)

This one from La Redoute?

Agree that M&S and Boden are missing a trick. Especially this year when we'll all be looking for extra layers.

That's nice too!

What about Intimissimi?

I just wanted to bump this thread to see if anyone has any other suggestions? I've seen some nice jersey shirts in White Stuff, but not sure how they would work, and if the collars aren't a bit wibbly to hold their own under a jumper.
