Boxy black work top plus size

I have a fave work top that has been a staple and is showing its age but I haven't been able to find anything similar to replace it - I feel like it's a simple thing and shouldn't be this hard!

So if anyone's bored and fancies a scavenger hunt....

  • black and/or navy
  • size 22
  • hip length (cover the FUPA) but no longer (simply be I'm looking at you with your mad mid thigh tops)
  • boxy not fitted but also not shapeless/baggy
  • short sleeve
  • smarter material than a t-shirt (will consider linen but prefer not)
  • slash or boat neck rather than standard t-shirt neck
  • strictly no effing cold shoulders

Usually wear these for work with block colour tube skirts or with dark tube skirt and block colour blazer

Live Unlimited I think might fit that bill!

You don't give a budget, so I've no idea if you want to go high end or day to day spend. Anway if it doesn't go against your religion, try Shein Plus. There is a vast range. Filter to black/navy tops and blouses, you might find something there, or even inspiration for what you are looking for.

I know, I know, I will be descended upon and lectured, but sometimes it fits the bill for something elusive and inexpensive. This for example (fabric might not suit, but there are many others)

I haven't shopped at SHEIN before and I would like to say I avoid fast fashion but it's not always easy to do at size 22!
