Men's Shirts Fitting Guide
 |
The men's shirts fitting guide gives you useful advice for the correct fit of your shirts.
Collar:
The collar of the shirt should end at the middle of the neck and lie flat.
If you close the top button, you should feel comfortable around your throat, and there should be no straining.
If you want to wear a tie with your shirt you should attend that the collar doesn`t fit too loose.
Shoulders:
The shoulder seam should run flat along your shoulder and should end at the point where your collarbone ends (this applies to a regular shirt style).
Breast:
If you close the buttons of your shirt, there should be no pulling around the buttons.
If there is any pulling around the breasts or under the arms, the shirt is too small.
Body:
There should be no pulling across the upper back, upper arms, or chest.
To see if the shirt fits comfortably, you should cross your arms in front of you, raise them up over your head, and try sitting down.
The side seams should have a straight, smooth run from the underarm to the hem, without any puckering or pulling.
Sleeves:
When your hands hang at your side and your arm is slightly bent, the sleeves should just cover your wrist bone.
Generally the sleeve should be wide enough so that you can move your arms freely without disturbing the fit of the body part of the shirt.
Some sleeve constructions are so tightly shaped that it is impossible to be really comfortable when you move your arms.
Hem / Length:
For your evening wear you should usually wear your shirt inside the waistband of your trouser.
If you are tucking it in, the shirt should be long enough so that you can sit down and raise your arms without pulling the sides of the shirt outside the waistband of your trouser
If you don`t tuck the shirt in, you should choose the length which is most fashionable for your figure.
