I need short sleeve shirts

[Bernadine]

I hate all of my summer shirts. What have you bought recently?

[W.T.Faulkner]

I hate all of mine too. Every last one of them. #helpful lol

You are pregnant so you have to hate everything! 😘

I have this problem every summer. I NEED decent length sleeves (I prefer elbow but that’s not a popular option) because I have serious bat wings from weight loss surgery. I also like them long enough to cover up my ass/badongle area.

These tiny cap sleeve waist length tees don’t work for me.

LOL! I hated them before, but you’re right. I hate them extra now.

I just bought these and I love them, not too tight (I have a belly), nice length, comfortable

I love them because they don't cling to the mom-pooch that I still have.

I need short sleeve shirts that I can wear to work (so not tshirts). I found a couple at Nordstrom Rack last week, but only in dark colors. I’d love a few short sleeved tops in summery colors or patterns without crazy sleeves or lots of ruffles, and that hit at the hip or lower. This seems impossible.

I bought some Vera Wang ones at Kohls and I have liked them all. She does some nicer tees and dressier options too.

[fortnightlily]

I just bought a few at Loft for work. Pact, Everlane, and American Giant make nice basics.

I also like Lole for styled weekend/athleisure.

I bought a couple of these off of the clearance rack and I really like the way they fit.

[fortnightlily]

Oh, Boden has nice work shirts too. A little pricey, but good quality.

[dottyblue]

I just got several tops from Banana Republic Factory. I did give in and go sleeveless on a few that I will wear with cardigans at work.

I love that first one - but is a size 8 actually an XL?

I haaaate this.  Even if something says it's short sleeved, most of the time they're actually useless cap sleeves.  I used to have a few lightweight elbow-length t-shirts, and I miss them so much.  No one makes them anymore!

Old Navy made a ballet back shirt last year that was perfect - not see through, really flattering. Several women in my office were obsessed. They don't seem to be back this year, but there is a GAP version - I bought several colors already.

And lilafowler , there is an elbow sleeve version and it's on sale!

I have found some great short sleeved tops at Loft. Nice easy loose material and longer sleeves.

They just ended a 40% off sale but they have sales all the time.

Also, cap sleeves are the devil.

[ssmjlm]

I bought some rolled sleeve ones from Loft the last couple weeks. The nice thing is they are long, so I don't have to worry they'll shrink after the first wash. I think they're call the vintage style.

Scroll down a bit to the product description and there is the brand's size chart (not Amazon's): 

YunJey Size Chart

Actual measuring length of clothing



Small: Bust: 37 inch, Length: 26.25 inch

Medium: Bust: 39.5 inch, Length: 26.5 inch

Large: Bust: 42 inch, Length: 26.75 inch

X-Large: Bust: 44 inch, Length: 27 inch

XX-Large: Bust: 45 inch, Length: 27.25 inch

[beachbum22]

boxertdog , I wouldn't go with the chart Amazon provides. Actually, the seller says not to use the Amazon chart, probably because they've had problems in the past. They're pretty adamant about it, they even used caps! hahahaha!

"Please attention the size chart in the picture is the actual length of clothes, Select the size according it. Amazon Size Chart is not ours, DO NOT USE IT !!! "


I used the chart the seller provided. I'm 5'5, 135, and wear a Medium/6 in most tops. I got a Medium and it fits really loose, almost like a large. But that's what I wanted. It gets too hot in the summer to wear tight clothing, and I tuck it in a little to hide the baby pooch I have.

If you're considering the top (I highly recommend it!) I would suggest looking through the reviews people left on Amazon. The real life pictures help a ton!

These were recommended on that huge Amazon group on FB. I got it on lightning deal so it was cheaper but its a great summer shirt for work (I would wear it with jeans to go out to a bar or restaurant, but its def not a tshirt.) I love it.

[smock]

I'm having the exact same problem. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Amazon and a lot of it is just too damn boxy. Just not a flattering style for me at all. 

But I do love this color block shirt similar to the one that beachbum22 posted. It's tunic length and really comfortable. Even though it's not super fitted, it gives the illusion of a waist!

Oh i like that!  Just ordered the green one

I love Kohl's Sonoma cotton tees. They have a ton of colors/patterns, exist in V or crew neck and aren't too fitted, especially in the belly area.

[tacokick]

EShakti has some cute ones if you are looking for nicer ones to wear to work etc

I have this shirt in all 4 colors available. I really like it. Right now, they only have the black one available in limited sizes, but they pop in and out of availability- I had to watch it to get all of the colors
