Scoop Neck T-Shirts

7 replies

I'm wondering if the experts of S&B can find me what I'm looking for, as my googling and browsing isn't getting me there!

I'm desperate for some t-shirts of a very certain type. The criteria:

  • Fitted, not loose or boxy
  • Scoop or square neck
  • Cap sleeves ideally, and definitely not those sleeves that stop just above the elbow
  • Mostly cotton or equally breathable fibre (I'll take a mimimal % of elastane)
  • Colours! I'm finding options in black, white, beiges, browns and pastels fairly easily. What I really want is blues, teals, plum purple, turquoises, reds, jade or bottle green.

If the price is low enough to stock up on a range without that would be great - heading above £15/16 I'll be wincing a bit. I'm in the process of losing weight so it's likely whatever I buy will only get a season's use, hence not being very inclined to "invest" right now.

I'm a size 12/14 on top, and cropped is an option as I'm both short and short waisted, and cropped often sits on my natural waist.

Thank you in advance!

Try Matalan. I've got a few of their t shirts that fit your brief. Don't know about colours though.
Kettlewell springs to mind otherwise, they are more expensive but have loads of colours.

Following, I'm busty hourglass and hate v necks but there are very few fitted scoops around.

My favourite fitted scoop was from M&S Autograph last year, boring colour choices though.

Thanks for the replies so far!

I'd been looking at kettlewell, and they'd be ideal if not for the price. I'd be happy to splurge if I thought they'd still fit next summer, but alas. Very little kettlewell on Vinted either.

On Matalan I found a navy, but nothing else.

Unfortunately, New Look are sold out of burgandy in my size, otherwise I'd grab one (I can't wear yellow).

Earthwardrobe do have a nice turquoise which I might try.

For anyone else looking, I did find this: https://www.karmaeast.com.au/collections/tops-short-sleeve/products/scoop-neck-t-shirt-jade-green

However, they're rayon, and come all the way from Australia.

Still grateful for any more suggestions. 🙂
