5 simple tricks to choose the right shirt
For an impeccable look.
Remember them the next time you go to buy a shirt for a special occasion. We can go from having a fantastic look to a complete disaster if we are careless with any of these things. Therefore, pay attention as we begin.
shirt collar
As you know, and we have already talked a lot here, there are several types of collars. Some more suitable for certain occasions and others more formal. Therefore, we are not going to go into more detail in this post, but we leave you here the formats and shapes that you have for shirt collars so that you know which one to choose for each occasion.
Let's go to the sizing.
A very common problem when choosing a shirt is usually the collar of the shirt.
Depending on the physiognomy of each one, you may find yourself with shirts that constrict you or that leave too much "skin" visible. So as in everything, the middle ground is usually the right one.
If when you turn your head, or simply when you fasten your collar you feel like you're going to explode , the blood doesn't go up to your head, or you get a "Michelin neck", friend , it's not your size (no matter how good the rest of it fits you). Of elements).
On the contrary, if your collar dances, a hair sticks out and your shirt becomes a polo instead of a shirt, this is not your size either. It's bigger than you should carry.
To choose the right one, do the following; With your hand, insert 2 fingers between your neck and the collar of the shirt, if they fit, that is, there is some looseness without bursting or sagging, you have chosen the shirt with the perfect collar. Be careful, only 2 fingers, if instead of two you can fit 3 or the entire hand, you already know you have to go back to the initial box.
Shoulders and Chest of the shirt
We repeat pattern. As in the previous case, it is about knowing when the shoulder seams of the shirt fit your physiognomy, as well as your back and torso.
Look at the mirror. Close the collar of your shirt and look for the shoulder seam. Does the seam of the shirt match the beginning of your shoulder? Look at the image below and clear your doubts.
And now we go with the back and the contour.
The contours, those that bring us down the path of bitterness. And even more so now that we are writing this post in the middle of Christmas... what a "contour" we are getting... haha. Well, to the point.
Even though many men like to wear tight, the buttons "suffer" and you see that they are about to jump , friend, you have gone too tight. If what you want is to highlight curves and figure, do it with another item of clothing, shirts were not invented for that :)
On the other hand, if the shirt makes you baggy. If you look puffy, or seem to have a belly when you are a being sculpted by the hand of the gods, you have gone too big.
A correct size, it has to fit like the one we indicate here
Sleeves, size and length
The sleeve size usually comes attached to a previous disaster.
That is, what we mean is that if the sleeves are big or narrow, it is generally because you have not squared the shoulder with the seam of the shirt, or the size you have chosen for your contour is not the most appropriate.
Above all, because when it comes to magicians, unless you're a guy like The Roc, and you need them to tailor it for you as a brown beast (from love, eh? I'd like to have 1% of muscle than this man has), the size of the magicians is usually universal.
To see if they fit you or not, easy. Put on a watch, can you check the time if you raise your arm to look at the watch?
- A - My watch got jammed and I had to get it out with great difficulty. Meec! wrong answer, small size.
- B - I have seen the time without a problem and also the tattoo or mole that I have below my wrist. Meec! wrong answer, large size.
- C - Yes, I checked the time and put the clock back in its place. Under the cuff of the shirt without difficulties. Bravoo! You really know how to choose a shirt!
The fists
The cuffs of the shirt are attached to the previous image and depend on the type of shirt and types of cuffs. But as a rule and generally, we can stay with the fact that the fist should surround the wrist without squeezing, without pressing and adjusting to it. If it pressures us (or makes the clock tick) badly. If, on the contrary, the shirt collar dances like the first point, too maaal.
shirt length
Finally, and something very common is making mistakes with the length of the shirt. This is more common since most big brands opt for standard sizing and prefer that their "M" size fits as many physiognomies as possible, for this reason and to avoid unnecessary "fussing." Follow this advice.
The dress shirt in our size should be a few centimeters below the waist, covering the hips . If it's too small, it will be above your waist and you won't be able to get it into your pants, or if you manage to do it, as soon as you move a little, we'll see some good stuff.
If the shirt is too long, unless you are a Marie Kondo dubbing professional, it will make you squirm and cause unnecessary discomfort when tucking it into your pants.
And now good luck, my gentlemen!
If you have completed the 5 tests of the perfect shirt, you can keep the name and the brand and never part with it :)
Because in reality, and the harsh reality, is that unless you have a custom shirt made, it is very difficult for you to find one that exactly fits you. That, or as we have said before, you are a being created by the gods and exported as a boss to large multinationals ;)
