Thick strap vest/tank top recommendations

Hello! Any recommendations for tank tops please?

Looking for:

  • not spaghetti straps
  • black
  • scoop neck
  • longline/for a longer torso
  • most importantly not going to appear see-through around the bust!

Have attached a photo of the sort of thing.

Have bought a few from Asda and New look to try and as soon as I put them on my you can see a bra or the top of trousers through it. Am quite busty so maybe they can't deal with the stretch.

Hoping for some better recommendations.

Uniqlo for me. Or BAM when in the sale.

Another vote for M&S.

I got some from primark. They have washed fine and kept their shape.

Boden double layer!

The Reiss Violet vest tops are great for this. Not cheap but they wash really well. I’ve had some for 3 years now and still good shape / haven’t stretched etc.

I had some very similar ones from Matalan which were surprisingly good. I am long bodied and they were the only ones I found which worked.

Exactly what I was going to say, I can't stand a short vest! Nice colour choices too. My black one is most worn and has kept it's colour well.

Uniqlo every time. Have GAP, Reiss and M&S but Uniqlo are 10/10. They also have some that have a built in bra that are AMAZING for holidays

I’ve got some excellent M and S vests - black and white. Nice and thick, long torso.

I like the ribbed ones from M&S
