Where to find simple mid/waist length t-shirts?

I’m struggling to find simple mid length t-shirts to wear with high waist jeans.

Most t-shirts are quite long, which was great in the skinny jeans era, but I find they look and feel bulky with high waist jeans (I don’t want to tuck them in). Meanwhile, ‘cropped’ styles tend to be too short and actually show skin.

I’m just looking for simple t-shirts (black/white) that will skim the waist band of my jeans, so finishing just at or below the navel. It’s quite a 90s look I think…

Most t-shirts right now seem to be styled tucked in, which is annoying as you can’t see what length and shape they are!

I’d ideally like a couple of slim fit and boxy ones, in both long and short sleeves.

Any ideas?

I got a couple of 'cropped' t shirts from Uniqlo which might fit the bill for the fitted t shirts. They sit just below my natural waist. I'll try and find a link.

They don't call them cropped anymore, but this is the style I was thinking of

I got some slim t-shirts from Primark, they washed surprisingly well, kept their shape and were about £3. They've lasted longer than my expensive ones from Fat Face.

Second this, the ones they call "crew T-shirts" with quite a high neckline hit exactly as you describe at waist and look neat without tucking. I got a few last year and just bought a load more. They wash and keep shape pretty well.

The Morrisons 'Fitted tee' I bought last year is pretty good. I bought it in black, but they probably have other colours.

These look great - thank you!

Sounds like some good options for short-sleeved/ slim t-shirts. Does anyone have ideas for long sleeved slim styles and boxier fitting styles?

You can check Broquesters, they have good variety.
