T-shirts that aren’t cropped but are a shorter length?

I need a few non/clingy t-shirrspossibly slightly looser fit, which just cover belt loops or tops of black linen trousers. I don’t want to tuck in the hotter weather! Regular T-shirts are usually far too long and have to be tucked. Any one bought one they can recommend? Open to any style, whether plain or graphic.

Rapanui have a boxy t shirt style that might fit the bill. Great quality ok

Lifestooshort71 · 15/05/2025 15:32

If you don't mind them being viscose, i bought some from H&M, boxy with a round neck (and a pocket) - usual boring black, white or grey though - but I had to dig and delve to find them!

Tkmaxx are good for women’s T-shirts

Another shout here for Rapanui - they are also the same t-shirts used under Teemill. Womens boxy t-shirt, falls just under my waist, just below where drawstring trousers sit. I have them as graphic t-shirts under various charities Teemill stores.

I've got these from Zara to wear with Linen trousers, although a shirt not a t-shirt I guess. They do come to the top of the trousers and are really cool or can be worn with vest top underneath for a bit of added warmth!

BarnacleBeasley · 15/05/2025 15:46

I also came on here to say Rapanui - they have one specifically called 'boxy' which is a bit cropped but even their standard 'plain t-shirt' is not too long (I am only 5'4 and could tuck it but don't have to).

Love that idea, thank you!

These look perfect. Is the sizing true to size?

I have these John Lewis Anyday boxy T-shirts in multiple colours. I wear with jeans, wide leg trousers and midi skirts.

Yes, I'd say so.

Another vote for Uniqlo, perfect length for the top of jeans

thas · 16/05/2025 09:22

Could those who recommended Uniqlo provide the description name? There are lots of T-shirts of varying lengths so I’m not sure which you’re referring to. Quite a few say cropped - is it those ones? Thank you!

I got some nice ones in Sainsbury's

NorthernLoon · 16/05/2025 09:37

I have a few that tie at the front (mostly off of Vinted - the one in the picture is originally from Oasis). They tend to fall at waistband-height, and of course you can tie them slightly higher or lower to adjust the length a little. Conscious that this is S&B though, and I've no idea whether they're remotely fashionable! 😅

I have a couple.of petite tops (I'm not, 5'5" ) from Dorothy Perkins which just sit on my waistband

cannaethink · 16/05/2025 13:22

The Uniqlo airism cotton t shirt is a nice hip length and boxy shape. They do an airism seamless version too which looks similar but I’ve not tried.

Mercurial123 · 16/05/2025 13:27

Bamboo Clothing or COS.

Octopusespunchforfun · 16/05/2025 14:12

I have 2 each of these in most of the colours, they’re honestly so flattering and the right length.
