What do I wear instead of

Fitted (mostly floral) t-shirts?

Have been wearing these for years and I’m sick of them! I’ve been living abroad for a while where it didn’t matter what I wore but I need some inspiration now I’m back. Looking for smart-ish casual stuff.

I’m a short size 8 with no boobs to speak of, and early 40s if that matters. Budget is flexible - I’d rather buy stuff that lasts.

Thanks ☺️

Shirts. Can look smart or casual, be plain or patterned, loose or tucked in, cotton or linen or viscose or silk or whatever.
Start here, look at Seasalt's Larissa, very popular, been going for years, new colours and patterns every season, many in the sale.

More upmarket Sezane make some lovely shirts, this one in silk in lots of colours and very well liked.

Thanks heldinadream - I like that toast one especially.
Sezane looks like nice stuff too.

If you want to experiment with the fashionably plain option you could look at

Cos

Studio Nicholson

Massimo Dutti

Margaret Howell if you have money to burn.

Baum und Pferdgarten have some interesting tops/ shirts. I have the white poplin and it breathed new life into 3 skirts I'd given up wearing.

I like Meadows too, for the same reason.

If money is unlimited Casey Casey paper cotton feels fabulous.

I love shirts. And with no boobs you can go for all sorts of tops with a deep V.

Some great options - liking the massimo dutti (best get saving for some of the others). Thanks for your help everyone

Short sleeve shirts! I've got some lovely pink & purple ones in M&S! Yes M&S! Not the best ever but good value and great for daytime wear.
