V neck long sleeve tops but long?

Imatorturedpoet · 28/09/2024 06:08

I'm looking for long sleeved v neck (or scoop neck, but not crew) tops that aren't too short, so probably 27/28 inches long. Also need to be not pure acrylic or polyester as I can't stand the static. Has anyone seen any? They all seem to be so short this year. I don't really want supermarket quality, something better than that, up to about £35. Preferably not patterned, in blue or grey or teal..

Nobody's Child broderie smock, organic cotton, £39.50

Lots of appealing options at Marks & Sparks.

M&S merino jumpers, £35

Cotton Traders boat-neck t-shirts, £18-£20.

You actually have a plethora of choices! I assumed you wanted a longer body, which rules out places like Zara, but there are stacks of cotton blouses as well as jumpers and t-shirts. Have a look at La Redoute, too, and watch out for more sales starting this weekend.

Kettlewell quality is excellent and t shirts tend to be longer www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/clothing/outfit-builders/all/darcey-v?colourid=150

Thank you for the recommendations. I'll take a look at them. I've ordered a top from LTS as they seem longer and had various colours. I'm see what the quality is like.

I bought a couple of T shirts from LTS, the quality was awful.

In my ongoing hunt for longer tops I’ve learned it’s easy to dismiss things because of the online length measurements, but often you have to try it and see as the measurement is not accurate. I’ve has some success this year with Lands End and Bella di Notte.

The length of tops is cyclical as fashions change. (I’ve got some fab fine wool polo neck jumpers from Gap which I wear every winter. The quality is great but one or two are looking a little tired now. I continually search all over for replacements to no avail. They are 5/6 years old now so I’m hoping they’ll have a moment soon!)

If I want a really long top, sometimes I just buy a really short mini dress.

Imatorturedpoet · 06/10/2024 23:07

I can confirm the tops from LTS aren't great quality, thin material and the hem has gone lop sided after just one wash. I won't be buying more.

Imatorturedpoet · 07/10/2024 23:51

I've never heard of that jumping ships brand but going to try them now

HellonHeels · 08/10/2024 12:41

I haven't tried them myself but they're the kind of tops I always look for and never find so hope they work out!
