Brands where tops fit a longer torso?

I tire of evoking Winnie the Pooh. Would be especially grateful for brand recs that tend towards natural fibres as, to enhance my attractiveness, I’m also quite sweaty.
I’m 5’10”, size 16 with broad shoulders. Legs aren’t especially long (31” inseam): a lot of my height is in my torso.

Sweaty Betty elevated T Shirts are a good length, I managed to get one in the Next sale as they are quite expensive at £38 but it was a lovely length at 5'10", I got a m/12 at size 14 so you would probably need the large as they are fairly generous

Men's Department. Have a look. No one will know 😊

Me & Em are good for those of us that are taller. I agree Sweaty Betty T shirts are quite long on the body.

👀with interest. What is it with all these short tops. I'm size 14 but the lengths of tops these days is ridiculous.

I’ve got a freakishly long torso and short stubby legs, so I usually buy tops and dresses that are for ‘tall’ people otherwise tops are cropped and the waistline of dresses sit more on my ribcage.

Bam clothing have some very long T shirts and tops

I don’t find these are any longer - maybe dresses are. Long tall Sally tops are but lots of plastic fabrics and not lovely styles. I want fine knits in lovely fabrics, if I could wave a wand

House of Bruar has longish jumpers - more helpfully they generally have the back length of each item on the “find my size” bit - it’s not just a generic set of measurements. Makes shopping much easier

All Saints, Me+Em, Matalan longline vest. Shirts I now buy from menswear dept and I get darts put in at the tailors, which costs twelve pounds.
