A white t-shirt should be a simple part of your wardrobe, but there’s always that universal experience that you see someone wearing a t-shirt that lays perfectly on their body and then it just doesn’t look the same on you. It’s not you, it’s that it just takes a little bit if trial and error to find your perfect tee. While a t-shirt feels like a timeless classic, there’s actually a lot of trend variation that goes into the way these shirts fit. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to men’s t-shirt trends because we know it’s not easy.

It can feel unnecessarily overwhelming. One man’s horrible fit is another man’s perfect tee. There is so much to take into account, and once you know what to look for, you’ll never have to think about it again. Things like necklines, seams, sleeve lengths, shoulders. And then there’s a matter of your own personal preferences. At the end of the day, if you want your t-shirt baggier, then maybe get that wide shoulder that some people might consider to be ill-fitting on you.

The best advice is always always always to try it on in-store. You just cannot know what your dream fit will be until you go there and you try things on and you know what things look like on you. But if you are a research-head, like so many of us are, here are some things to consider. There are a million ways to do this, but I’ve broken down the categories into shoulders, necklines, sleeve lengths, and fabric weights.
