T-shirts that are long enough - find your ideal length and fit
You know when a T-shirt fits well everywhere else, but is just a little too short? Perhaps it rides up when you move, or you simply wish it came a little further down over your hips and bottom.
Especially when wearing leggings, many people prefer a longer T-shirt that offers a little more coverage and helps them feel comfortable.
T-shirts come in all sorts of fits, lengths and fabrics, and we naturally have our own favourites at Maya Freya. We've picked three of our popular longer-length styles, each with something different to offer. So whether you love a classic cotton T-shirt, a loose and relaxed style or a more fitted shape, you can find one that suits you.
Why choose a longer-length T-shirt?
A longer T-shirt can be a great choice if you're looking for:
- More coverage: A longer style can cover more of your hips and bottom, particularly when worn with leggings.
- Less adjusting throughout the day: The extra length makes it less likely that your T-shirt will feel too short when you move.
- More ways to style it: Long T-shirts work with leggings, jeans and shorts, making them suitable for all kinds of occasions.
3 popular longer-length T-shirts from Maya Freya
Our three styles have different fits and fabrics, so you can choose the one that best suits your style and preferences.
Vigga Fitted T-shirt
For anyone who prefers a gently fitted T-shirt that follows the shape of the body.
Vigga is made from our signature fabric, known for being buttery-soft, lightweight and incredibly stretchy. The material has four-way stretch for freedom of movement, whether you're wearing your T-shirt for everyday activities or more active days.
Its gently fitted cut follows your natural shape without feeling tight, while the Extra Length version is longer at both the front and back.
Vigga is a great choice if you prefer a more fitted T-shirt to a loose style.
What makes Vigga special:
- Buttery-soft, lightweight, breathable fabric
- Gently fitted shape
- Extra length at the front and back
- Four-way stretch for freedom of movement
Fabric: 80% polyester and 20% elastane.

Naomi Everyday T-shirt
For anyone who loves a loose, relaxed fit with plenty of length.
Naomi is made from an exceptionally soft fabric that feels somewhere between a classic cotton T-shirt and a lightweight sweatshirt. The material drapes beautifully, giving the T-shirt a relaxed look.
The Long version has extra length at the front and back and falls loosely over the hips. It's therefore particularly suitable if you want good coverage without the fabric clinging to your body.
Naomi fits true to size, so we recommend choosing your usual T-shirt size.
What makes Naomi special:
- Exceptionally soft fabric with a feel between cotton and sweatshirt material
- Loose, relaxed fit
- Extra length at the front and back
- Beautiful, natural drape
Fabric: 75% cotton, 22% polyester and 3% elastane.

Bella Classic T-shirt
For anyone who prefers a classic cotton T-shirt with a little extra length at the back.
Bella is made from soft cotton with a touch of elastane to help the T-shirt keep its shape.
Its regular fit is neither particularly close-fitting nor oversized. This gives it a simple, classic look that's easy to pair with the rest of your wardrobe.
Bella Long has a gently curved hem and is slightly longer at the back. It's a lovely choice if you want a classic cotton T-shirt with a little extra coverage, for example when wearing leggings.
What makes Bella special:
- Soft, comfortable cotton fabric
- Classic, regular fit
- Slightly longer at the back
- Gently curved hem
Fabric: 95% cotton and 5% elastane.

Which T-shirt should you choose?
The three styles differ in fit, fabric and length. Here's a quick overview to help you compare them.
| Style | Fit | Length | Fabric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vigga | Gently fitted | Extra length at the front and back | Soft, stretchy signature fabric |
| Naomi | Loose and relaxed | Extra length at the front and back | Soft fabric with a feel between cotton and sweatshirt material |
| Bella | Regular | Slightly longer at the back | Stretch cotton |
If you like a T-shirt that follows your shape, Vigga is a good choice. Naomi is ideal if you prefer a looser style, while Bella is perfect if you love a classic cotton T-shirt.
Compare the lengths of our T-shirts
How long is a long T-shirt, exactly? It depends on both the style and size.
Here you can compare the lengths of our three styles across the different sizes.
| Size | Vigga length | Naomi length | Bella length |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 69 cm | 76 cm | 67 cm |
| S | 73 cm | 77 cm | 68 cm |
| M | 74 cm | 78 cm | 69 cm |
| L | 75 cm | 80 cm | 71 cm |
| XL | 78 cm | 82 cm | 73 cm |
| 2XL | 81 cm | 84 cm | 75 cm |
| 3XL | 84 cm | 87 cm | 77 cm |
| 4XL | - | 90 cm | 79 cm |
All measurements are in centimetres. Vigga is available in XS-3XL, while Naomi and Bella are available in XS-4XL.
As you can see, Naomi is the longest of the three in every size where a comparison is possible.
That doesn't necessarily mean Naomi is the best choice for everyone, though. If you prefer a gently fitted shape, Vigga could still be right for you, even though it's shorter.
Remember, your height and body shape also affect how far down a T-shirt will come on you.
How to find the right length
Not sure how long you want your T-shirt to be? There's a simple trick that can help.
Find a T-shirt in your wardrobe that's a length you already love.
Lay it flat on a table and measure from the highest point of the shoulder, close to the neckline, down to the bottom hem.
That gives you a starting point to compare with the measurements in the table above.
Bear in mind that measurements need to be taken in the same way for an accurate comparison. If your T-shirt has a curved hem or is a different length at the front and back, take that into account too.
It's also worth thinking about how you'd like your T-shirt to fit:
- Want good coverage over your bottom? Look for a style with extra length at the back and compare the measurements with a T-shirt you already own.
- Prefer a loose T-shirt? Pay attention to the fit, not just the length.
- Like a more fitted look? A gently fitted style can be a great option if you still want extra length.
Long T-shirts to wear with leggings
A longer T-shirt and a pair of leggings are an easy combination that works for all sorts of occasions.
For example, you could pair a loose Naomi with our buttery-soft Signature Leggings for a relaxed everyday outfit.
If you prefer a more fitted look, try Vigga, while Bella is a lovely alternative if you prefer the classic feel of cotton.
There's no right or wrong way to wear them together. The most important thing is choosing a length and fit you feel comfortable in.
