Another t-shirt thread (for the middle-aged and large of boob)

[FreeeeeeeeFreeFalling]

Hello.

I'm so fed up with buying slightly shit t-shirts.

If you have large boobs so can't do anything completely unfitted, but don't want to wear tight t-shirts (which used to be my go-to when young) any more, what do you wear?

I think I like this (I think) from Lands End Women's Cap Sleeve V-Neck Supima T-Shirt | Lands' End and have ordered to try it.

Basically, my aim is to minimise the top.

Anyone got any more links/tips?

Yes, I just recently bought two of these! They are flattering on a large chest, especially with the v neck

I’ve been to the Next online site to try and buy some of those t-shirts I recommended and many of the colours have sold out in my size!

I’ve found the holy grail of everyday wear t shirts.

W have a “Yours” store in my town. They are long and have hip and boob shape to them.

I buy a size 16 everywhere but I’m a 14 in their t shirts because they are actually made to accommodate curves!

I am an F/G cup and these are my faves too. Flattering sleeve and not clingy also seem to survive a 30 degree wash without twisting.

100% agree. Good length (long enough to skim/cover apron belly) slightly shaped at the waist, nice wide neckline and flattering sleevelength. I was surprised how nice they are for the price. I've found Next pretty good for t-shirts the last couple years - their cuts seem more forgiving.

Whistles V neck T shirt £35 - I have GG boobs and find these really flattering It’s called Willa

Second these. I have a few in colours that suit me. They fall nicely and the 'boat-like' neck is flattering.

These are the M n S T-shirts. They say slim fit but are pure cotton so I size up.

I have bought several t shirts from Lands End recently and the quality is second to none , especially the supima cotton ones which you’ve ordered .
I have them in a few different colours and try to get them when the frequent sales are on .

Just been to White Stuff and bought 3 of these....went up a size to 18 to make them longer-oh the joys of being tall!! And they're fab over the bust and a lovely selection of colours. They're also 20%off right now. https://www.whitestuff.com/p/7066/nelly-short-sleeve-embroidered-tee/PINK_MLT
If you type in 'nelly' to the white stuff search bar, there's over 10 different patterns, all with the same fab fit.

Definitely the Next ones - I have loads (cap sleeves, v-necks and modal) in different colours. They accommodate my huge boobs and are long enough to cover my stomach, too. Paired with trousers, they look smart enough for me to wear to work, but also look good with jeans and shorts.

These are nice.

And these are half sleeve length. https://www.cottontraders.com/women/tops-and-t-shirts/?prefn1=sleeveLength&prefv1=1%2F2%20Sleeve

I've bought mens t shirts as the fit is much better and they don't cut in under the arms, which I hate and they don't cling to you which I find annoying. Don't know why women's clothes are so ill fitting.

Landsend cotton t-shirts are made of very high quality cotton, which probably explains the price. They wash beautifully. Be sure you like it - you'll have it for ages!

I don’t wear T-shirts any more, they look terrible on me whatever the shape or size.

I bought this two weeks ago, it’s lovely….much more ‘slumpier’ IRL and I love it so much. https://www.zara.com/uk/en/rustic-oversize-t-shirt-p00858020.html?v1=509610674&v2=2420397 Honest, it isn’t as oversized as it looks either and the sleeves are almost batwing, so cool and easy to wear.

I can also recommend COS for really decent heavyweight cotton round neck t-shirts. They often have a seam down the back, so have a more tailored look.

Both of these are excellent quality cotton, really strong!

I like the Hush reece tshirts. They're soft and drapey so fall nicely with bigger boobs but are a modern shape (slightly oversized but not too much). I also find the sleeves a flattering length.

I really like the Next ones but for some reason I can’t stop staining them! I’ve had them in a few colours and every single time I wear one that’s not black a greasy mark appears on them that doesn’t wash out and I need to treat it with stain remover. Doesn’t happen with any of my other clothes so I feel like perhaps I’m losing my mind.

Yes!! Thought it was just me but I've had similar experiences with the Next viscose 'slouch' v necks and the vests not washing well. But the cotton v necks are a constant rebuy - although, and I'm being picky now, last year the changed the shape of the 'v' which I'm not so keen on and I do find some of the colours a bit questionable. However the black and navy work perfectly under blazers for work and I think they're good value.

I'm not keen on 'boxy' or crew neck t shirts as they do little for me but this thread has thrown up some other options that I'm going to investigate (thanks OP!). I love a scoop neck but they seem to be tricky to find these days. I have a couple of cotton/modal H&M scoop neck t shirts which have a lovely drape. They were bought when on mat leave with DC (now 8!) and need replacing but sadly they're no longer sold. The search goes on!

I have the same problem. Always go for v necks, mandarin collars, scoop, boat, heart shaped, anything but classic t shirt necklines, high, polo or slash. These last ones make your boobs look saggy. Alsy good are tops with detailed open collars or piping, braiding or patterns down the middle. Stay away from ruching or puff sleeves. Weirdly cap sleeves and 3/4 length sleeves also flatter.

I came to recommend these too, they are better IMO than the Cos ones that are also great but these are a great price.

I love bubble hem T-shirts - very flattering on big boobs and hide a stomach. Shein and Temu have great ones at the moment and they’re true to size as well.
For normal t-shirts that are good for the short torso (aka not overly long “fat girl tents” that just hang off) I find La Redoute and JD Williams very good.

I've just bought 3 from 2tall.com
They're for blokes who are about 6ft 5. Washing them today and will report back. I am absolutely over all women's t shirts. I have a long body and big bust. Fingers crossed.
