Finding the perfect fit

The versatility of a t-shirt has great deal to do with its ability to outlast any kind of trends. It’s a piece of clothing that you can wear on any occasion, from under a shirt, to the gym, with a suit, beach and even to bed. The way it fits will say a lot about you. Too baggy, with sleeves flopping from your shoulder and excess fabric creating a tent around your torso, will give out an impression that you’re a man who has given up. On the other hand, exploding seams and a super fitting sausage-like will send the opposite message of someone who cannot get his own reflection of his head.

The perfect fit should emphasize parts of your body you are most proud of and not drawing attention to areas where you are conscious. Before purchasing, try to look at your naked torso in the mirror and ask yourself what are your best attributes.

• Arms. Sleeves should hit around the halfway point on your upper arm whether regular or rolled up to show off your triceps and biceps.
• Pecs or shoulders. Opt for slim-fitting styles that skims through this part of your body and leaves enough room for air to circulate.
• Abs or narrow waist. Men with bigger or narrow waists should choose tapered cuts that will not drape around their mid-section.

If you’re not that confident of your body or if nothing stands out, go for a classic fit. Do not oversize just to conceal the lumps or buy a smaller size to exaggerate your features. Here are some tips to remember that applies to every body types:

• A classic shirt should finish around the top of your hips to ensure you will be able to raise your hands without turning your shirt into a crop top.
• Short sleeves should not cover more than half of your upper arm and it should also sit as close to your skin as possible without stretching.
• A t-shirt that fits perfectly is not restrictive and will allow you to comfortably move and should never feel tight.
• Seams in longline or oversized styles should ideally align with the point where the curve of the shoulder ends.

Designer versus premium highstreet shirts

A shirt of good quality with a great fit will seamlessly blend with your existing wardrobe and you will get good use for years and years to come. Whether you get yours in a three-pack from the high street or you indulged in a designer shirt, it is important to keep in mind that an expensive price tag does not always ensure high quality. Thus, it pays to know the key brands in every price bracket.

High street. If your everyday wardrobe consists of t-shirts, there are affordable options you can find on the high street, which are a perfect way for you to stock up in bulk and are replaceable easily. Shops and brands that offers cheap shirts and best value for your money are Next, Gap, Uniqlo, Topman, Asos, Amazon, Mango, River Island and Marks & Spencer.

Fabric choice

Most men likes thicker fabrics instead of lightweight ones, as if the quality is related to the garment’s weight. Actually, it is the opposite for shirt materials. Whether you wear a shirt as solo or base layer, it should feel like second skin.

Almost all tees will be cut either from cotton or cotton blend of some sort. Egyptian or Pima cotton is the gold standard, which are made from long staple fibres that can last longer as well as feel lighter and look thinner. These kinds of cottons are considered to be some of the finest ones available on the market are used by specialist brands like Uniqlo, NN07 and Sunspel.

Another good option is cotton blends. A moderate amount of stretch fibres called elastane help maintain the shirt’s shape, whereas cotton-polyester blends which come in at lower price tags often crease less. There are brands that look beyond afield to fabrics like Tencel, which tends to feel cooler compared to viscose or linen, which is more absorbent.

Shirt colours

Neutrals

These timeless shades such as black, grey, navy and white, set the foundations of any successful ensemble. Shirts of these colours are often referred to as basic, but their ability to support your existing look, or sever as one all on their own, is anything but.

• White. This is the quintessential tee. It’s the best colour to combine with classic indigo jeans.
• Black. A popular shade of t-shirt that comes with its pros and cons. A black shirt offers a rebellious alternative to the classic white. But it is known to quickly fade and tend to feel warmer in hot conditions.
• Grey. Grey marl of jersey is a mixture of different shades and the final textured effect is very flattering, especially if you’re looking for a shirt to visually enhance the shape of your body. This is ideal for men who sweat a lot.
• Navy. This colour is not always available in standard 3 for 2 deals or in multi-packs. It’s a refined choice that does almost the same job as black coloured shirts, but remains day-friendly because the colour has more depth.

Coloured shirts

The trend of athleisure and the relaxing of office dress codes make shirts even more popular today than ever before. Nevertheless, neutral shades can get a bit boring. You can keep things fresh with coloured tshirts and at the same time inject a bit of energy in your daily ensemble. There are no strict rules, so it’s an easy, effective and affordable way to experiment with various hues. Keep in mind though that there are certain shades that will look beset on certain skin tones.

• Fair skin. If you have a pale skin and lighter features like blonde, light brown or red hair and blue eyes, opt for colours that clearly contrast with the tone of your skin. Look for darker hues like bottle green, camel and bold primary colours which will work greatly and avoid pastel shades.
• Olive or medium skin. If you have this skin type, you will be able to find a wide array of colours to choose from. However, for best results, try to avoid shades that are too close to your skin tone like orange and brown. Go for either darker or lighter instead of the middle ground.
• Dark skin. Go with bold and bright with jewel tones and primary shades. Avoid brown which can bleed into your skin and make your look ashy.

Neck type

Shirts come in several neckline types. Instead of agonizing on which to get or complicate a look with deep v-necks and boat necks to raw and scooped hems, it is recommended to stick to the classics. V-neck shirts elongate your neck naturally, making it the perfect choice for shorter guys. It will create the illusion of height and a slimming effect on larger men. In addition, they also provide balance for people with wider or rounder face shapes.

If you have sloped shoulders or small chest, you may want to consider a crew neck. This type will draw the eyes out and will create an illusion of squarer should, which will make you look better proportioned and broader. This also provides balance if you have a longer neck or narrow face shape.
