2. How to choose the right men shirt fit for your body shape?

If you are slim and tall

Slim fit or adjusted fit shirts enhance your natural lines and prevent an oversized effect. They are perfect for creating an elegant, well-defined silhouette.

If you have an athletic or muscular build

An adjusted fit follows the shape of your torso without feeling restrictive. For extra comfort, a standard or comfort fit can also be a good choice, depending on the occasion.

If you have a broad build

A comfort fit brings balance and ease, offering a flattering shape without drawing attention to the stomach or waist.

If you carry weight around the midsection

Choose a comfort fit that provides ample room at the waist and abdomen while ensuring a refined drape. Avoid overly fitted styles, which may feel restrictive.
