Looking for recommendations for flattering horsey wear!
Tops - fitted but not clingy so lycra running type tops a no no, i have had a few tops from decathalon but they are very clingy and the sleeves not very long, am tall! - i have had 4 children youngest 20 months so have a bit of a baby tummy still! although everywhere else i am a size 10, i also have quite big boobs so don't like anything too clingy, just invested in a good sports bra so fingers crossed it may minimise too!
I do have a noble outfitters top which is great and fits good and have long sleeves! but they only have greys and navys and wanted some colour,

Underwear - Sick to death of having a VPL! how are the equestrian briefs? are they seamless under tight fitting clothes? or can anyone recommended none equestrian ones?

Pikeur tops - i quite like the look of these here (link below) - can anyone tell me how they fit please. As mentioned wanting something fitted but not so tight it shows every bump!
TIA!!
 
For underwear I use Primark seamless briefs..cheap and cheerful but no vpl especially with the full granny type.
I've had equibriefs, they're ok but have a bit of a nappy feeling as they are padded.
 
I don't spend a lot on tops as I wreck them quickly and would rather spend on good sports bras.
I'm also quite picky and like long sleeved polos but it's a bit of a pain trying to find them in small sizes that are long enough in the arms and the backs.

The last two lots that I have bought have been from Regatta outlet and from the Kramer catalogue sale (sadly they don't seem to have the same ones in the latest catalogue)
Another way to look neat and 'together' is to wear a fitted gilet - you can hide all sorts of skanky old t-shirts under one of them :)

I quite Kramer but never tried their clothing - so do these come up long in the arms?
I like the gillet idea!!

this ^^ I go through t shirts at a rate of knots, so I just buy cheapo ones from the supermarket and pop a gilet on when I need to look tidy :o I'm a recent convert to base layers for the winter, nothing worse than getting a sweat on when you are schooling and then being in a cold soggy cotton top all day, bleugh.

I like tesco seamfree knickers ;) cheap, cheerful, nothing to rub and no vpl
 
Knickers I have M&S no vpl and they are really comfy.

Tops I wear sports tops/base layers, but I buy slightly bigger so not clingy. I usually get them from sports direct or tk maxx. I am quite a hot person so very rarely wear a coat. I have spent all winter in long sleeved sports top and a gilet
 
M&S Autograph modal shorts are fab for no vpl and are comfy too. I find Pikeur comes up slightly on the big side but are modeled on being tall and slim.

Tops wise, another who rides in base layers - again M&S ones with super long sleeves and a looser polo shirt over the top. If I've needed a third layer I wear either a polartec fleece or polar/powerstretch top. Can't be doing with coats.
