Short sleeved shorts with longer sleeves

[Anonymous]

The Nordstrom brand Caslon makes an elbow length t shirt with a ballet neckline that's really flattering.

This. And pick up swimming. You are too young for saggy arms

Kule has short sleeve tees that hit a couple of inches above the elbow. I find them to be pretty flattering on the arms.

+1 - t shirts with longer sleeves usually emphasize the extra weight; button downs (ups??) are much more flattering.

OP. This is exactly what I’m looking for! So many colors! Have you purchased these before?
Are they true to size?

I agree. It’s weird because the only weight I’ve ever gained was during one pregnancy. I went back down to my regular weight (125) after pregnancy. I did join a pool this summer so I do plan on swimming laps.

Yes, but they run wide and short. I’m 125 5’5” and wear a small. It’s quite wide when it arrives but shrinks to the perfect slightly boxy fit. It is straight cut

Another vote for the Jcrew perfect tee.

Great suggestions. I recently got the Theodora and it's very flattering. I sized up a bit as it's a bit form fitting. I'm 45.

I have a garnet hill one I love with shorts. Similar to this butt mine is scoop necks:

Mine is a light cotton so not too hot. The other possibility is light weight peasant blouses or popover tops— I think those looks cute with shorts.
