Long line summer tops.

6 replies

Any recommendations for vest tops and in fact any top for summer that is long line.
Size 14, 5ft 9, 34H, really long torso (short stubby legs)
Most vests seem to stop just above my trousers. (I'll save the short legs trousers question for another day). I'm fed up of flashing my belly everything I do anything other than stand still.
Preferably not too flowy or downy, and also not skin tight. For every day. Can't have buttons (large boobs).

There’s been a couple of helpful threads on this recently in respect of best tops which are worth a search for as some good recommendations. For vest tops, my go to is Matalan but possibly too skin tight for what you are looking for. I would check out the tall ranges as they cut for a longer torso. You can often bag bargains on Vinted.

I feel your pain OP, similar vertical dachshund here.

These Lands End vest tops are 66cm long. LE have been selling them for years, they are fantastic quality, plain and classic.

Have you tried Next tall or LTS. I would probably go a size or two up though in the vests. I bought a tall white vest for under shirts from Next tall and it was lovely and long but fairly tight so went up a size and still wonder if the 18 would have been better. I’m size 14 36C large boned 5’10”.

If you don't mind sporty look Lululemon hip length tops are your friend! Nice material as well that is sweat wicking so perfect for these balmy days we are having

Edited to add they work well with larger breasts as well. I am a 32e with a small waist/no belly so often struggle with things either being skin tight or flapping like a tent, but their swiftly tech tops are fantastic and are perfect as a slim fit top, but not skin tight

Hush have always done long line vest tops. I wear them in the winter as they come half way down my thighs at 5’4”
