Slouch vest recommendation pls (not Next or Primark)

13 replies

PeriwinkleForever · 16/06/2023 17:35

As the title says, i would love some recommendations for slouchy vests which are slightly better quality than the ones from Next or Primark.

I like the scoop neckline on the next/ primark ones but the fabric is a bit thin and the arm holes generally a bit big.

i suspect I’m looking for the holy grail here but any suggestions would be much appreciated.

thank you!

I'd like the same but struggling to find any in a 3xs (I'm not usually so small - I've lost a lot of weight due to being ill). I've been considering childrens 10-11 but wondered if they'd be a bit like I'm wearing a winter vest iyswim 🤔

M&S relaxed vest top?

M&S relaxed vest top?

Thanks for the tip - I just checked this out but it doesn’t have the scoop neck I’m after. I’m large of bust so can’t wear very high necks.

No personal experience of it but this
I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

I like the next ones but you’re right about the thin material and large arm holes. Hopefully someone on here can recommend something good

Thanks for this @Downsizeddumpling - it looks like a great vest but I am specifically looking for slouchy vests here which are looser. This does look like a nice “normal” vest though so will investigate. Thanks!

Hush do this one. I don’t have it but have other hush vests that have been fine

Or Cos do this which I do have and love (nice thick material) but you’d need to size up for the slouch. https://www.cos.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/tops/product.scoop-neck-tank-top-white.1151125001.html

This is definitely the holy grail. I got some from ASOS last year, the armholes were a little gapey so I asked my mum to put a couple of stitches in there 😂

ilovesushi · 17/06/2023 09:24

I found the arm holes on the next one too gaping and sticky outty. I was going to send back but I think I'll just put a few stitches in instead.
