How to choose the right shirt

Choosing the right shirt can make you look awesome rather than daggy if you choose the wrong shirt. Not understanding how a shirt should fit could be the reason why you look like you’re wearing a tent sometimes. Here are some key things to consider where sizing up a shirt for the best fit.

Firstly, the collar should fit just enough so that you can slide two fingers in when the shirt is buttoned up. Next, the shoulder seam should line up with your colour bone. Next the arm holes should be high enough so that it doesn’t restrict movement of your arms. The next consideration is the torso area where no more than 3 or 4 inches of fabric should be loose when you pull it from your body. Finally, your sleeves should not be tight or excessively loose and the end of your sleeve should be right where your palm meets your wrist.

When choosing the collar type, it should depend on your body shape. A tall person should get a shirt that has a spread collar. This will help balance the appearance with height and not accentuate it. A shorter person should choose shirts with collars which are streamlined looking. Heavy set men should choose a collar which is pointed to give a slimmer appearance.

Some shirts characteristics to avoid are as follows. Shirts that are too tight around the arms, Shirts that are too short and shirts that are too colourful or extravagant.
