Denim shirt hunt

This shouldn’t be hard, I know - denim shirts are everywhere, but I’m finding it impossible to find the perfect one so wondered if the S&B board could help please.

I really like this one from With Nothing Underneath but it’s so expensive, was hoping someone could help me find a dupe.
Things I like about it:

  • fairly plain style
  • only one pocket
  • nice buttons/poppers (not flimsy plastic ones)
  • soft thin-ish denim (not too thick or stiff)
  • medium standard blue denim colour (no weird fades)
  • long enough to cover my bum, could be worn on its own or open over a cami.

I bought a similar one from Mango recently but the sleeves were slightly too short and it had oddly high curved cut-outs at the side. Am aware I’m starting to sound obsessive now 😳anyone seen anything that might fit the bill?

The Classic: Denim

Saddle up for the shirt your wardrobe is waiting for; the undeniably cool Denim blue. (But less JT and Britney, more Canadian tux - you know?)

That is nice - think it might be a bit too thick/more of an overshirt from reading the reviews, but appreciate the suggestion, thank you!

Not sure if it's too light but this one from Hush looks nice:

They also have a darker one but it looks thicker:

I have just been to Next to look at there’s and was quite impressed. Theirs is £28 and comes in several shades and colours, I think I’m going to buy the bleached denim one. It felt nice and soft, it’s now in my basket in the app.

Thanks @PoachedScrambledBoiledFried I do quite like both of those - maybe I need a range of blues?! But @Lovemusic82 I think you might have nailed the brief! Just having a look and that looks pretty much exactly what I'm after, thank you!

Yes I just saw the Hush one at John Lewis as well. It seems like it fits the bill!

I second the next one. Lovely and soft, (yet doesn’t look too thin/chambray instead of denim if you get what i mean). Good price and quality.

I have a couple, one of which is a men's denim shirt and it might be worth checking out the men's ranges, as I often find they are a better weight fabric, with better detailing.

Thanks @mdinbc and @Christine1998 - I might go and try on a few this weekend and see which I like best as both sound good. @YYURYYUCICYYUR4ME that's not a bad idea, hadn't even thought about looking at men's ones. Thanks!
