What can I wear instead of T-shirts

[Anonymous]

Look for mixed media tops. I just bought a really cute one from Nordstrom.

Quinces linen shirts are so nice and look great - even when not ironed. I love them and don’t mind putting a small safety pin in to close the gap - like I do in most of my shirts.

These are excellent suggestions for OP. I am smaller chested but am still going to try some of these. Thank you from an NP.

+1 You are really, really good at this PP.

Super long torso and big boobs (Not perky anymore! In my mid 50s). I most often buy Tall sizes in tops. The last couple of years I had decent luck with typical brands like Gap, Banana Republic. Long Tall Sally often has cute options.

Thank you! This is what I am seeking -- tops. Can you be more specific? The button-ups typically don't work well for me, but i am curious about what else you use.

THANK YOU! For so many suggestions!!!

Try tops with some detailing high in the collarbone area or the yoke. Talbots usually has some, I’ve seen them at Anthropologie too.

This helps to add interest but not too fussy during zoom meetings.

I’m trying to figure out where Dominique Ludwig (cookbook author on Instagram) gets her shirts.

You need to be careful with the V necks. Some of the V (and scoop neck too) are too deep and then, you are showing too much cleavage.

I think a few of what I have were described as popover, pin tuck shirts. Some have a few buttons above but not across the bust. Another couple shirts I wear have a collar and v-neck w/o any buttons and others are similar w/o collar. Some of the thinner cotton shirts do button up but they're meant to be relaxed & breezy and I don't have an issue w/pulling. I can't find any great examples online right now.

OP here- actually, polo shirts are a great idea and it's also true I don't want to look like Jake. But if anyone has links to non-polo shirts that are actually of the same type of cut, I'd be grateful! I have one from Athleta from... 5 years ago? And it's great!

Except that the button-down shirts will not work for anyone with the body shape the OP describes.
