T-shirts should be men’s favorite and most purchased item.
But 99% of men don’t know how to choose a T-shirt that fits.
Because it is so simple and so everyday that people almost give up thinking about “how to choose a T-shirt and how to match it to look better?”. T-shirts are the most difficult item to wear effectively, and they are almost synonymous with “diaosi”, “no style” and “too casual”.
Is it true that T-shirts can’t make you look stylish?
The answer is of course no. Remember the following five points, know how to choose the perfect T-shirt and how to match it, so that you can wear a T-shirt with a high rate of return in the hot summer.
Point 1, don’t wear underwear (also called undershirt) as a T-shirt.
The original form of the T-shirt was men’s underwear that was popular among European and American soldiers during World War I. It was not until after World War II that T-shirts began to appear as outerwear. John Wayne, Marlon Brando, and James Dean have all dressed this way on national television. The public was initially surprised, but by 1955 society began to accept the clothing. Worn by James Dean in the movie “Rebel Without a Cause,” T-shirts have become a fashionable garment.
They are too similar, but in fact there is a fundamental difference. One is only suitable for wearing inside or sleeping, and the other can be worn outside. A large part of the reason why straight men often wear the wrong clothes is because they can’t tell them apart. Understand the difference between the two.
You can distinguish them through these methods:
1. Underwear is tighter and usually made of cotton, modal, Lycra and blended fabrics;
2. Underwear is softer and lighter, and will look see-through when placed under a light source. T-shirts are generally not modal, and Lycra fabrics are thicker;
3. Underwear is basically solid color, but T-shirts are OK There are patterns or stripes;
4. Underwear necklines are usually narrower, while T-shirts are usually wider and thicker;
5. Go to Uniqlo, underwear and T-shirts The shirts are placed in different areas, and you can tell them clearly after comparing them once.
Point 2, choose the perfect fit-fitting T-shirt
Don’t compare the perfect T-shirt with the advertising T-shirt from the roadside stall To put it bluntly, the perfect T-shirt is extremely rare. China produces billions of T-shirts every year but there are still not many ideal T-shirt shapes.
Since the shape of the top of the T-shirt highlights the typical masculine silhouette of broad shoulders and narrow waist, this is the most charming part of the T-shirt, but everything must be based on the perfect fit to your body, otherwise it is sexy The opposite of: “dirty and smelling like sweat” impression.
Fit-fitting is the first criterion for measuring a good T-shirt. In fact, sometimes it’s not that your figure is not good enough and the dress is incongruous, but that you haven’t found a T-shirt that fits your body perfectly. T-shirt, your sexiness is delayed by a low-quality T-shirt that doesn’t fit you.
A perfectly fitting T-shirt has the following criteria:
1. Neckline: sailor collar (also known as round neck ) is the most common and popular neckline design. Do not choose one that is too wide open, especially a one-line collar that exposes the collarbone. It will look like an elderly shirt. It is best to just cover the collarbone without strangling the neck. If you don’t have big chest muscles and six-pack abs, don’t try V-shaped necklines easily, especially deep V-necks, as most people can’t handle them.
2. Sleeve length: The sleeves should start from the shoulders and end at the biceps. If you inadvertently reveal muscle tattoos, congratulations, you are a “walking hormone”. Sleeves should fit snugly on your arms, be aware that sleeves that are too long and too loose are the most common mistakes.
3. Of course you want your T-shirt to fit, but if you can see your nipples, choose another size because it’s too tight.
4. Length: The hem of the T-shirt should be at the lower edge of the belt. It should be about 3 centimeters longer after covering the belt. Make sure that the T-shirt can be stuffed into the pants to raise your hands without disturbing the waist. It is best if the flesh is exposed.
A well-fitting T-shirt is never too tight and should allow for a comfortable fit. Clothing that makes the skin feel tight is only suitable for exercise.
Point 3, choose the right colors
You should have at least a few basic colors: white, gray, black, and navy color.
White: Every woman likes to see men wearing white T-shirts. White can complement all skin tones. A classic white T-shirt should be part of your wardrobe and will look more stylish, but remember to keep it looking white every time.
Gray: Gray can virtually enhance the shape of your body. But be aware that sweat stains are also most visible in dark gray.
Black: The good thing about black is that it goes with most outfit combinations. However, black will fade easily, which will be more serious in the daytime. It will look a bit worn after being worn for a long time. However, black has a big advantage: it will make you look slimmer and taller.
Navy Blue: A better choice than black and more suitable for pairing with jeans during the day.
Except for the above colors, other colors are not recommended to be worn alone. Some bright colors are only suitable for wearing under a jacket to form a contrasting visual color effect. Personally I especially like itColor and gray.
Point 4, choose the right fabric
100% cotton is the first choice, especially Egyptian, Pima cotton or Xinjiang Long staple cotton. They have more long fibers, look thinner, and feel lighter.
The label on the T-shirt can let you know the composition of the fabric. The most common are:
Combed cotton: A strong, soft, and smooth fabric that has been brushed to straighten the fibers and remove short strands.
Organic cotton: More expensive than treated cotton, it produces the least amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Pima cotton: It is the highest grade of extra-long fiber cotton. Resists pilling, stretching, fading and gets softer with every wear. It is not used much in China. If it is generally used, the trademark name of Supima Pima cotton will be marked on the fabric.
Bamboo Fiber: Made from bamboo, it has a soft luster and is incredibly soft. However, it has been overused in China in recent years and is synonymous with low-grade. Do not buy it.
Merino (Merino wool):
Don’t think that wearing wool in the summer will make you hot. In fact, merino wool (the best variety of wool) has hollow fibers that are warmer in winter and more insulating in summer. Merino wool T-shirts may be your most expensive. T-shirt, but definitely worth it, the 100% Merion wool T-shirt won’t smell too sweaty even if you wear it for a week, making it perfect for travel.
Knitted: Usually made of cotton or synthetic blended fabrics, this stretchy knitted fabric is very flexible and comfortable. When purchasing, look for quality. too much.
In addition to polyester and man-made fibers, they have no advantages other than being cheap and smooth, so it is recommended not to buy them.
Point 5, styles that must be avoided and styles that can be chosen
Must be avoided:
1. Patterns that use too much force
Avoid any items with too large patterns. In addition, items with corporate logos and parent-child cartoon patterns should not be worn outside events.
2. Think they are original designs
T-shirts only have classic styles, and any designs that add too much decoration are superfluous designs. To be avoided.
Available options:
1. Choose the basic solid color model I suggested above;
2. You can choose a solid color with a few English letters on it, but the design should be simple and high-end;
3. You can choose a T-shirt with only one pattern on the chest, but the pattern should be above the waistline, and the smaller it is, the smaller it is. Good, otherwise it will lower the visual proportion of a person’s height and look too messy.
4. You can choose stripes, especially the sea soul shirt stripes, which are very masculine.
Point 6, how to dress in style?
1. Tuck the T-shirt into pants
The benefits are: it will make the proportions of the body more coordinated, make the legs longer (look at least 5 cm longer than the actual height), and more elegant. Even if you are 1.9 inches tall, I still recommend that you tuck your T-shirt into your pants. .
2. Pair it with casual pants
Although the best match for a T-shirt is jeans, I personally think that Western-style slim fit Small-leg casual pants are better. Jeans are still too stuffy in summer and too casual for work or commuting.
3. Match with shorts
It is recommended to choose simple cotton shorts, remember that the length of the shorts must be above the knee.
4. Match with jeans
The premise is that the jeans must fit well. Wearing sneakers or boots on the feet is a classic street matching method.
5. Match it with a jacket
Pairing it with a linen suit is the most common elegant way to wear it in summer.
The simpler things are, the more you can see a person’s taste skills.
Wear simple clothes to make you look stylish. He must be a serious and charming man.
The wealth and poverty at the spiritual level are also reflected in this.
