Plus size t-shirts that don't cling (but not linen)

Can anyone suggest where I should be looking for summer t-shirts for size 22/24 with a large belly please? I'm fed up with ones that cling and show all my rolls of fat. I'm trying to avoid linen because I'm going back-packing and won't be able to iron stuff along the way.

I am not plus size but I dislike clingy tees, so I like Rapanui relaxed fit. Relaxed Fit T-shirt | Rapanui Clothing

Next oversized t shirts. I have one in every colour!

I’m a size 24 and buy most of my plain, basic t shirts from Cotton Traders, the unisex ones. I also like their polo shirts, sweatshirts, jeans and tunic tops - in fact, I buy most clothes from them!

Following! I'm size 22 and hate clingy T-shirts but struggling to find any that don't just look completely huge on me.

Thanks for all your replies.

Maybe it's just me but I find Cotton Traders and the oversized ones from Next look a mess on me although I do like a lot of their other stuff.

Perhaps I've just got an odd-shaped body 😆

Sainsbury's & Morrisons when I'm on a tight budget; M & S when I'm feeling a bit flush (can you tell I have no interest in spending on clothes at my size?!)...

I've got some m&s relaxed fit tees. Not clingy and also don't need ironing!

Try the men's department. Seriously, I have bought Ts from many of them as I have a long body and most of the women's are at my navel! The sizing on the straight fits are good too. Just a suggestion, and don't laugh!

I got some nice ones from Matalan, I'll try and find a link

I'm an 18 and got the large so XL might work for you

Cos have good ones. I have boxy-fit curved-hem black and white t-shirts. The material is a bit thicker, but such good quality and because they are oversized they barley touch your body.
