Thick long-sleeved white top recommendations PLEASE!

16 replies

Please give me your recommendations!

I've been looking for a plain, thick-ish long-sleeved white top for months - I've tried Levi, & Other Stories, Abercrombie, Stradivarius, M&S etc. and I still can't find one that doesn't expose my bra or feel really flimsy. I don't want a jumper either, although a thin jersey would do I suppose, just something form-fitting, bright white and nice. It'd be nice if it had a high neck - definitely not a V-neck but I'm not fussy other than that. There has to be one out there, surely!

M and S Heatgen long sleeve shirt?

I invested in some Wolford tops last year and they are great!

COS? www.cos.com/en_eur/women/womenswear/t-shirts/product.slim-fit-heavyweight-long-sleeved-t-shirt-black.1024907009.html

It's available in white, and also in regular fit.

Another one for Uniqlo. I wear their long sleeved tops all the time.

@Niftythrifter I had my eye on that one but then it went viral and now it's completely out of stock!
@123woop their website is currently down for maintenance but I'll bookmark it and check again tomorrow morning
@TheLongRider this is definitely my favourite, currently in my basket!
@helenabonhamfarter do you have this one? it looks nice but a few of the reviews say it's quite thin
@Throughabushbackwards the one you linked is currently out of stock in my size (M/L) but I've found another Uniqlo one I'm debating, although it's off-white

Thank you everyone! I wasn't expecting this many helpful replies 😁

I have one like you describe but in pink from Cos. I’m almost certain there was white. I have a fab almost plain white one though from Adidas which I inherited from a child! Might be worth a look on sports sites if you’re happy with even a small logo on?

You could try searching for a “double layer white top” - Boden, Jigsaw and the White Company all have them, although they are low/scoop necked.

I’m on the hunt for something that is more t-shirt like though too. Really annoying that almost all options out there are transparent! (The COS one looks like a good shout generally although the neckline wouldn’t suit me).

This one from Land's End is a turtleneck and available in white, I don't have the white one but have it in a couple of other colours and they're great for winter, warm, soft and wash well

TheLongRider · 02/01/2023 22:33

The heavyweight COS t-shirts are excellent. Lovely thick smooth cotton that won't show a bra. They wash well and wear well.
Search for Pima or Supima cotton, it's a heavier weight. Sometimes H&M have some heavier weight cotton tops.

Hobbs?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 03/01/2023 04:30

Gap
I bought a few of these in different colours about 5 years ago, and they are still going strong. The white does not show my bra. The review from Nov2022 suggests that the quality is still good.

StarStarTeachMe · 03/01/2023 05:25

These ones from Cos are brilliant and last well too.

They also do a short sleeved version.

Lands End. Their supima cotton tops are generally fairly thick, but still stretchy. Cotton modal tops generally thinner, but more drapey.

I have these in various colours, I also have the vest version too. They're great, wash well, good stretch and not transparent.
