Longline T shirts that cover bum!

I'm struggling to find long line t shirts that I can wear with leggings anywhere - online or in shops! Has anyone recently found a long t shirt/top that covers bum and isn't see through!! Help is much appreciated!

Try the mens section. It's amazing how they often get better quality clothing items.

Fat face have longer length t shirts. Good quality.

To be awkward as well, I'm looking for scoop neck as I'm very broad shouldered 🙈

M&S just search longline and loads pop up.

Next have some online - I usually buy a size up to make them a bit bigger but they are really well priced - shrink like a bastard if you put them in the tumble dryer though so don't do that.

Try matalan online I've had a few from there recently

Primark have loads like this. Also try h&m and new look. Search tunic tops too

I'm looking for similar, but also in cotton. Everything is made of sweaty polyester or other plastics. I hate it.
The trend for everything plastic is horrendous. I walk around shops, touching everything and I'm starting to get a visceral reaction when I feel that slimy fabric 😡

These are nice and lovely soft organic cotton. Not expensive for that. If you're tall like me they come not far under the bum.

I know how you feel Saisong

I find a lot of the ones suggested are very boxy. They have capped sleeves and high necks which don't do me any favours at all. I'm also tall which makes it a bit trickier finding ones long enough.

Eden Ashram have longline t-shirts that are designed to be worn with leggings.

They have a hippie/yoga theme though.

MixedTocopherols · 11/07/2023 09:14

I often use the longline vest tops from Hush as a base layer and then wear a super-light cotton t-shirt over the top, which means it's okay if the t-shirt isn't as long (although it still looks better if it's almost as long).

I totally agree about the boxy shape issue! So unflattering on a lot of us. I'm always looking out for tops that are longline but unfussy/cut neatly at the top.

MrsCarson · 11/07/2023 09:35

I find a lot of longline teeshirts are too narrow over the hips. Work great if you are very slim. I have wider hips.
I ended up buying tunic tops Got a couple from Cotton traders and also Yours who start at size 14 (I didn't realise this)

JorisBonson · 11/07/2023 09:36

I've been buying plus sized mens tshirts from Boohoo, they're great.

pontipinemum · 11/07/2023 10:21

I like the long line vest tops from Asda. I wear them under most clothes

blitzen · 11/07/2023 10:21

I find the vero moda tshirts quite long and pretty much long enough to cover my bum. I'm 5'7"

PutinSmellsPassItOn · 11/07/2023 10:24

I like yours.

Not overly expensive and most importantly they're cotton. Not that crappy polyester mix that seems to be everywhere these days.

Badger1970 · 11/07/2023 10:29

I've bought loads recently from Taking Shape. Not sure what size they start at as it's a plus size Aussie company, but their basic t shirts are a fab shape - fitted at the top and a line so they cover your bum and hips well. And their stuff washes brilliantly. I'm a size 18/20 and find their medium is a generous fit.

Gertrudetheadelie · 11/07/2023 10:40

Oh I'm so glad it isn't just me! I like leggings but can't stand to see my bum! I've tried charity shops but recently I've bought and they've come with holes already that I hadn't noticed :(. I'll be following this thread carefully!

StarlightLady · 11/07/2023 10:59

OP, whether something covers your bum or not is very dependent on how tall you are. I wear 3/4 leggings that come down to my ankles 😂
