I just bought two sleeveless, 100% cotton shirts at Walmart on the clearance rack. They're button-up, though. Not sure how you feel about that.

Have you looked at Lands' End polo shirts?

Vermontcountrystore.com. crossover neckline sleeveless top. 100 percent cotton seersucker. There is also a sleeveless gauze in blue. Can't get cooler than that. :-)

Lands End polo shirts are knit, not woven, so that misses the mark on one of the parameters.

Thrift stores. Designer labels for pennies on the dollar. An added bonus is if they get ruined by stains and/or sweat, there are no guilt feelings when relegating them to the rag bin.

Try Marshalls or TJ Maxx - they usually have a whole rack or more of sleeveless tops, many of them cotton. I saw some in the Lands End department of Sears earlier this summer.

I thought polo shirts have sleeves. So that would count those out, right? I second the suggestions for Walmart, T.J. Maxx or Marshall's, or consignment shops. I believe that you would find exactly what you're looking for.

Sleeveless, collarless, woven cotton - I doubt you are going to find it. If you can accept knitted cotton, then, yes, it's easier. I went looking for woven women's camp shirts this summer and could not find any.

Ta-da: Sleeveless, collarless woven cotton

That eyelet top from WM is cute ... and the price can't be beat.

Thanks, all! Buttons are fine. Have to get it on somehow!

I tried Walmart earlier this year. It’s where I got my 100% cotton shorts in 3 colors. I was surprised they had no shirts, as I’ve found them there in past years. All theirs were at least part polyester. But I’ll check again. That was a while back in June.

I’ll try TJ Maxx. There’s a thrift store a few towns away: I’ll try that next.

Summer is winding down, so it might be hard to get sleeveless. I would still recommend online. That is where you get the most options. How about Macy's?

Once you get an idea of what size you are you can go from there. I like the idea of buying online, but then returning if need be at the store. You save on shipping, but it gives me an excuse to see if I might find something there.

Do you have a Kohl's?

yes, there's a Kohl's nearby. I have not checked them this year. As of last fall it seemed like their styles and quality changed a lot and I have not been back.

I second the vote for thrift stores. My Salvation Army has a rack of sleeveless woven tops. If you don't find anything in the color(s) you want, you could still try on several brands and make a note of the ones that fit you well. Once you know which brands fit you best, you'll be in a better position to buy online.

At WM you can order online and receive free shipping with pickup at your local store ... or spend $35 and get free shipping to your home.

I have a couple Faded Glory 100% cotton peasant blouses that I've worn for years. They're well made and launder beautifully. Every now and then you luck out at WM.

I've been impressed with both Faded Glory and White Stagg WM brands.

Foxcroft makes nice 100% cotton blouses. If you don't want to buy online, Nordstrom and some other retailers carry them.

Foxcroft collection

linnea56, could you post a picture of one that you have that you like, so we can know the style you're looking for?

I'm in your boat as well--I get hot so easily that I wear mostly cotton these days, and always sleeveless tops during the spring, summer and fall. Have you tried linen? That is also a cool fabric, though it does look messy after a short time. Yes, it's getting harder to find cotton clothes, especially better-made ones; polyester, etc. is cheap and they get the same prices for such articles. I have luck sometimes at Marshall's and at Talbot's. I prefer short-sleeved (not sleeveless) cotton tops for my job that aren't too casual, and believe me, they are HARD to find! I'd pay well for some good-looking ones!

Here is one from Talbots that is on sale now. They have a few others. You could check your local store.

Tassel-Tie Chambray Popover Shirt

The one graywings posted is ideal. No collar, V neck. Round neck is ok as long as it doesn't scoop deeply.

Front opening Foxcroft one is nice too except that it has a collar. Collars get very raggedly looking quickly when it's hot out.

I like linen too though I've never found one to buy in sleeveless. I made one some years back that I still wear. Thin cotton is still cooler, though.

I won't set foot in a Walmart but I would suggest a thrift store or TJs or Marshalls. I hate the new fabrics and always buy 100% cotton which is getting so hard to find these days.

Linnea, you could buy a couple different colors in that cute blouse and there's another sleeveless option below it on the same page that is really nice looking, too.

Do you know a seamstress that could make you some? I am a seamstress and they would be fairly easy to make and affordable as well.

May I also say that I hate, hate 'no-iron' cotton clothes!

Very cute, no collar, no sleeves, 100% woven cotton, comes in regular and plus. Deliver to home or store returns to store.

Judy, I sew myself. Or thought I could. :( I bought a few patterns and fabric a month ago when I got tired of looking. But I have not sewn clothing (just repairs and household items) for 25 years. I still have not completed ONE. Between having too many things to do at my busy season, tinkering with the machine to get it to sew light weight material, and just reading the patterns and figuring out where to make adjustments: this has been a big headache and a time pit. I don’t remember it being this hard, not to mention how expensive it all is, by the time you buy everything you need. Patterns for how simple I want this (just relying on a pretty fabric for the interest, which is easy to find) can’t be found. They all have details which I suppose are to make it more interesting for the sewer. I thought of copying an existing simple shirt: but then, oh heck, I’ve got to draft a pattern.

Trying to make them was a mistake. I’m going to finish the one that’s half made and put all the rest of this stuff away til wintertime when I’m bored and need a project.

Thanks for the additional suggestions! I’m going back to Walmart to see if they have anything else. I found a Talbot’s store only a few miles away. I’m headed there today. After that, TJ’s. I'd forgotten about that store.

These are great tops! We went to W/M yesterday on a whim, gosh their stuff is junk. Of course their fall stuff is out now, and I was looking at a longish top (I like long tops and I find them hard to find. I held it up and started laughing, I was looking at hubby "through" the shirt, it was so thin. I wouldn't even pay the $24 they were asking.

I'm finding myself in JC Penny's a LOT lately. Then on top of the sale price there's a 25% off code. I like this shirt:

White, long, cap sleeved

Jasdip, you haven't noticed that before? It's not just WM; it's everywhere. If I need a cami under it, I'm not buying.

I know. Even my favorite store, GAP, has fabrics now that I hate. I buy "vintage" GAP at my thrift store.

I love that top Nicole!

CindyMac, yes I have. We were browsing the racks outside of a ladies' store (not a department store). The prices were 3x the price of W/M with the same see-through material. God I despise shopping for clothes.

I used to like shopping in the second-hand, thrift stores, but the clothes there are now the same crap. I have a lovely skirt and short-sleeved buttoned jacket that I took to a higher-end consignment shop (designer label). They wouldn't take it, because the style is older than 2 years. It's probably 4-5 years old, but it's stunning, with a flirty lined sheer skirt. So now I know that the clothes this store sells will be the same flimsy stuff that has been popular for the past few years.

I went back to Walmart again today to see if they had anything new. No new stock in sleeveless cotton since I last shopped in mid June. I went through EVERY rack. Lots of new summer stuff, just all rayon or polyester.

I did buy 2 items on clearance, but I’ll have to alter them. One the neckline is too plunging (shows my bra) and the other was a size too large. These were both shirts I passed on 2 months ago as being not quite right, chiefly because they are colors I don’t wear (navy and pastel blue). But that was before 2 existing shirts ripped and I got even more desperate. I burned out after that - though i did buy myself a cherry pie for consolation. I will try at another store tomorrow.

I know you said no online, but I'm just curious, if those Nordstrom ones are perfect, they ship for free, they give you free postage for returns, you can order several sizes to try and just return the unwanted/don't fit ones, why you would burn yourself out spending all that time and energy and gas running around to far apart stores (I think you mentioned even other towns).

It's your choice, of course, and really none of my business, but I really am curious why you wouldn't try them. Plus, they are really cute!

I don't think they will fit. But, I ordered some in the hopes they run larger.

My experiences ordering online have not been good. Even if returnable. I needed things last winter for a trip. From 4 different companies, I ordered 12 pairs of pants. Only one fit. 6 bras. None fit. 6 swimsuits. None fit. (ok, some fit, but were unflattering. Might as well call it "doesn't fit.")

I find it a hassle to return things that don't fit, but when Nordstrom or Zappos make returns so easy it makes it worth it to not have to schlep around to a bunch of different stores. At least I can try on in the comfort of my own home instead of some horrible dressing room somewhere.

Thanks for your response and I hope some of them DO fit!

Stopped into a Marshall's on my way to the library today. I hadn't even know it was there. Went through EVERYTHING because I didn't want to miss something.

My conclusions: everything commonly available in cotton is either white or blue. Wait! There's a third color! White with blue stripes. I don't normally wear either color. This has been true in every store I've visited, not just Marshall's. I did end up buying a white linen shirt with embroidery at the neckline. It was only $10 on clearance (slightly damaged, but I can fix it easily) . I will wear it a few times and see if I can stand to wear a color that will be filthy by the end of the first day. I can always tea dye it. Probably will.

Marshalls had, it seemed, almost everything on clearance. Must be between seasons. But henceforth I will think of that store as the Home of Rayon. I'm sure I would not have noticed that before, if I hadn't been ferreting inside every shirt for the fiber content tag.

Wait Wait! I did buy some all-cotton shorty pajamas. They are blue and white. Striped. But I don't have to choose jewelry to match them, and I won't worry about them making my skin look green while I am sleeping.

Then I stopped off at a Talbots (which I also didn't know was there) and bought the shirt Lucy mentioned above. The cut is very flattering, with a yoke front and back. The nicest cut of anything I've found so far.

Tassel-Tie Chambray Popover Shirt

Which is blue. With white embroidery. I asked them to help me find anything else in a sleeveless natural fiber. I was the only one in there, so the 2 staff ladies quite got into the challenge. I tried on the 4 other items, 3 of which were blue, white, or blue and white. The remaining shirt was white with orange embroidery. Sigh. I didn't buy anything else.

So far I have not bought anything in any other color. But the Nordstrom order arrives tomorrow.

Ha ha! I bought the same shirt, Linnea and it is nice and cool. Luckily, I love the color blue. :)
