Tanktop to wear over shirt

[JeanGabin]

Hearing that tank tops were in this season, reminded me of the tank top love I had as a teen back in the 80's and I'm keen to find one. I'm short (short legs too), and have a couple of shirts which I rarely wear as they don't really suit me. I think they might with a shortish (not cropped but sitting around the bellybutton), fitted knitted tank top over them in muted colours / possibly patterned. I can't find one anywhere - the closest I got was this from sea salt, but it's a bit long and not that fitted. Has anyone seen anything that might fit the bill? I thought the Edinburgh Woollen Mill might come up trumps but nothing!!

These are hugely expensive but I love them...

Everywhere has them - M and S have loads in all price ranges, H and M etc.

Bare - that is gorgeous, just the kind of thing I'm looking for (though would prefer a bit shorter). Not sure I can justify £169 though..
NormaTheWife, I've looked in the usual shops - M&S, jigsaw, Uniqlo, hobbs, mint velvet etc - they're all looser fit and longer (sitting on hips rather than at waistline) which really doesn't work for me - makes me look even more of a shortarse!
I see a couple of possibles on H&M though - maybe worth trying out, thank you!

@JeanGabin can you knit? Anyone you know knit? That's the best way imo

After watching Sandra Oh in the series where she's a college lecturer I've been channelling wide leg trousers, shirts and really, really want a fairisle tank top. 70s Ally McGraw vibe. Love.

Sooverthemill, I did think that. But the last time I knitted anything was at primary school!

Gherkin - that is exactly the look I'm wanting!!!

This would be perfect but is last years so not available

I got a really funky argylle style one that's just that length in Primark last week

Maybe you should take it up again? I do knit quite a lot and have seen a pattern recently that I think is exactly what you are looking for. Knitting isn't difficult, you just have to have time really

Mens department,M&S extra small. Quite a good choice of colours.

these are shorter.

I work in next and we have quite a few .

I've bought the same one from Seasalt which I love

I also crocheted one that comes up a bit shorter and quite fitted

Knitting would also be an option

I've just bought one from cefinn 😍

I bought this last year but there’s still some sizes and colour in stock. I’m 5’8 and the petite sits at the waist band of my (quite high waisted) jeans.

There are quite a lot on Vinted if you search 'patterned sweater vest'.

Try hollister, my dd got a few last year from there

Quite a few on vinted but look under knitwear Waistcoats - that section has tank tops or vests and also the ones with buttons down the front & vnecks which I prefer.

Thankyou all so much - now I have tons of options. I saw a lovely one on Brora but £315 <gulp>
I think I've been searching for the wrong thing - they're knitted vests or waistcoats, not tank tops
softpebbles, I've ordered the M&S fair isle one - fingers crossed it works, sized down so it's fitted
I'll take a trip to primark / next if it doesn't (though the cefinn one looks beautiful - definitely a shop to look at when I'm wanting an investment piece!)
I'd love to knit one, but honestly, I know it'd end up half done and would make me feel bad every time I saw it. Seriously impressed at knitters and crocheters though.
Thanks again

Toast has a lovely one , it’s short in length and might be exactly what you are after . I’m afraid it is expensive but not as much as Brora .

Me and Em have some but not sure how pricey

I picked it up today @softpebbles and the per Una one is actually just right - I wasn't sure about the colours online but very happy with them. Thanks for all the tips

That's lovely on you

Have you noticed they are the rage in all Creatures Great and Small 😀
