Fit is the cornerstone of good style. But while we often think of this dimension in regards to garments like the suit and dress shirt, it\u2019s important to get a good fit in your t-shirts, too.<\/p>\n
Size\/Tightness.<\/strong>\u00a0A t-shirt should be neither too baggy nor too tight. If it\u2019s too big, it will drape and sag like a pillowcase and be unflattering. Too tight and you\u2019ll look like a stuffed sausage \u2014 a look that can read as some combination of narcissistic, flamboyant, and\/or douchey. If you\u2019re in shape, and have a good build, you can lean towards tighter over looser. If you\u2019re carrying extra weight, leans towards a looser fit \u2014 but don\u2019t go too far, as too much extra fabric will only make you look larger rather than smaller.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n T-shirts<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0come with two main types of necklines: the crew and the v-neck. Each works best according to the look one is going for, as well as the proportions of your face and body.<\/p>\n The crew collar<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0This is the most classic option, and offers a timeless look. It best suits men who have a slight build and frame, as the collar draws the viewer\u2019s eye out, broadening the neckline and creating the appearance of squarer shoulders. The crew collar is also a good choice for men with longer necks and narrower faces, as it balances and adds proportion to these features.<\/p>\n The v-neck<\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0A v-neck has a slightly less formal feel than the crew collar, and adds a little more visual interest and style to the standard tee. It\u2019s well-suited for the shorter man, as it makes one appear less boxy and adds a bit of height to the appearance. It complements men with rounder and\/or wider faces as well. I would not recommend a v-neck for those larger in size, however, as the v tends to draw the eye down to the belly.<\/p>\n There are other types of tee necklines out there \u2014 like the scoop or boat neck \u2014 but these are rarely a good look for men.<\/p>\n In general, choosing t-shirts made from 100% cotton is the way to go. Natural, soft, cool, and static-resistant, cotton looks and feels great. A 50\/50 blend of polyester is a decent option as well; the synthetic fiber is less breathable, pills more easily from wear, and increases static, but makes the shirt less moisture absorbent and prone to wrinkling and shrinking. Tees made entirely from special synthetic fabrics may wick away perspiration better, but are only appropriate for workout wear, and unless you\u2019re working up a big sweat, feel a lot less comfortable than pure cotton.<\/p>\n Thinner tees in a neutral color also tend to look\u00a0more like undershirts\u00a0than t-shirts. The main difference between the two garments is fabric weight; undershirts are thinner, and also fit more tightly in order to soak up perspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fit Fit is the cornerstone of good style.
