Too many men wear ill-fitting shirts. They make even a good looking guy look sloppy and not put together. Even expensive fabrics that are poorly fitted will cheapen the look you are going for. This Fashion Friday post is here to help you find a good-looking shirt. If I’m going to give someone the shirt off my back, I might as well do it in style.

First you want your shirt fitted at the shoulders and back. This is usually down to the ‘yoke’ of the shirt, which is the piece of material at the upper back that dictates the fit and shape of the rest of the shirt. You want it to fit snug, but not to feel restrictive when leaning forward. Equally, your sleeves ought to cover most of your watch when you put your arms out in front of you. Remember that a slightly tapered shirt will usually be your best option, otherwise the fabric will balloon around your lower torso and give you extra “visual” pounds.

The length of a shirt is also a key consideration, as it will determine how the shirt can be worn. Generally if the shirt is longer, you will have to tuck it in. If you want to wear the shirt loose, you will want a shorter length.

If you’re shaped like Taylor Lautner (and who isn’t?), you will look good wearing the very fitted shirt. But if you’re carrying extra weight, before getting the fitted cut, make sure you don’t look like a sausage casing.

This is a how a casual, un-tucked shirt needs to look.

Since I featured Taylor, I must give Robert Pattinson props for rolling up his sleeves properly: right above the elbow. Notice you can roll up the sleeves even with a tie.

There’s always a proper way to do just about everything, including your rolling up your sleeves. Who knew?!

For my body shape, I find that Hugo Boss slim line works well for me as well as Tom Ford’s tailored line. Everything Tom Ford makes looks good on me. The main problem I have with his line is that I cannot afford to wear it. Oh, well.
