Tees are the ultimate wardrobe staple for men. And, why wouldn’t they be? They are the most versatile piece of clothing with comfort and style.
Did you know how T-shirts got their name? Well, this one is a no-brainer. It is simply because of their T-shape and they were actually designed to absorb perspiration. How weird and amazing, right?!
Anyhow, nowadays t-shirts are more like a style statement. They are the best bet for almost every occasion be it formal or casual. But do the gentlemen out there know how to buy the right t-shirt that flatters your body type? Let us help you with following tips –
1. The Fit
A fit of the t-shirt is actually the cornerstone of good style. Look for the right for across shoulders, make sure it’s not too baggy or too loose; the length extends no higher than the hips and has a shape that follows your natural body shape.
Our Pick – Henley T-shirt
2. Collar
Coming to the collar, pick one that works as per your body and face. The crew collar is the classiest option while polo t-shirt is perfect for everyone. V-neck t-shirt adds a bit of height appearance on shorter men and scoop neck is a good choice for tall frames. Still, when it comes to picking the safest one, we will recommend a polo t-shirt.

3. Material:
Generally, all t-shirt is cotton-based yet the blend of polyester can also be seen. You should go for cotton ones in summer and synthetic ones for rainy season or semi-winters. The good thing about synthetic fabric is it won’t wrinkle easily and the bad thing is it is not breathable. So it will keep you little snug, that is ideal for pre-winters.

4. Pattern/ Design
As per the pattern, t-shirts can be divided into two categories
Classic & Graphic
Classic t-shirts come in solid natural colors like white, navy, gray, black, etc. White looks the most flattering on men and suits every body type. It is undoubtedly the classiest pick to pair with denim. Navy looks sharp, black makes you stand apart from the crowd while gray look subtle.
Graphic t-shirts are casual t-shirts and flaunt prints and graphics, mostly on the front. They should be best worn while heading to gyms, running errands or simply in a laid back mood for a casual drive or outing. Avoid huge logos, metallic prints, and loud ones.
