I did try there basic tshirts but found they were so creased all the time even after ironing them. I just need casual every day tops that go below the zip on my jeans. Had a marks and spencer top on today and realised how short they are.

Fat face, they have good t shirts.

I have found Matalan basics v neck ones so flattering, just the right length (I am 5ft 3 and they just hit crotch level so more than cover my tummy without clinging) and wash really well. The white/ paler ones can go a bit thin and bobbly and get relegated to gardening/painting after a summer but some of the deeper coloured ones I have had for 3 or 4 years now and still look good.
I bought some more expensive linen look ones this year but I don't think they will last as long.

Have you tried Uniqlo? Really good quality.

I never iron tops just throw them in the dryer and they are lovely and smooth afterwards. I buy lots in H& M as they are cotton and cheap.l replace the white ones regularly so nice and crisp.

Try urban classics extended shoulder t shirts off Amazon - they're my go to as many colours, good price,100% cotton and wash really well.

Seasalt or Lands End The quality and shape is worth the higher price.

Asda longline cotton v neck. Fit lovely & wash well. Same with their longline vest tops.

I wouldn't waste my time with Uniqlo, I'm a size 18 and went to the shop the other day. Tried an XL top which didn't fit . When I asked the shop assistant if they had an (even) bigger size she said that anything over XL it's only online as they don't have demand for bigger sizes at the store Confused

Boohoo have been my favourite ones ever. But I got the oversized style ones. I think I a sale too for like £8 a t-shirt.
I also got some of the 'Boyfriend' t-shirts and they fit so well I figure that means I'm a boy now. 🤪
