Get the best fitting men’s shirt

Get the best fitting men’s shirtAll men want to look neat and crisp, isn’t it? However, many of them don’t find the shirt that fits them very well. Result- they end up in wearing long, sagging sleeves with neck squeezed by collars. They look just like unmade beds! If you are one among them, don’t lose sleep over this issue, as we are here to provide you the tips to get the best fitting shirt.

Neck: Here is a quality check for the right fitting of neck. Slide two fingers down the neckband. If the collar of your shirt, while buttoned, allows you to slide your fingers without gagging your throat and collar, this means the fitting of neck is all right. The fabric of many shirts shrinks when they are washed. Therefore, the shirt should have an extra ¼ - ½ inch to allow for shrinkage.

Shoulder: Your shirt shouldn’t hinder the free movement of your arms. If you find it too hard too lift your shoulders and literally, pull the shirt uncomfortably across the shoulders, then this denotes a wrong fit.

Body: The body of your shirt should not be baggy and shapeless. This will give you the feeling of wearing a bedspread! So, ask your tailor to make the shape of the shirt in accordance with your body.

Cuffs: Ideally, the cuffs of your shirt should hang over your hand. You should also ensure that you don’t slip your hands through the cuffs without unbuttoning them.

Sleeves: Your cuffs should end slightly below your wrist bones. The cuffs should provide enough room to bend your arms with ease. 

Shirt-tail: The long shirt tail bunches up when tucked in. Therefore, the shirt tail should be ideally short but not too short that it comes out of your pants when you raise your arms.

Dress Buttons

Dress ButtonsDress buttons are now not only used to fasten the clothes but also to beautify the piece of clothing. Many professional button producers and designers give the buttons a final addition as to meet the customer’s explicit requirements and preferences. The custom buttons thus manufactured come in a variety of size, color, and even material.

The custom-made dress buttons are made to match the color and type of the garments on which it has to be fastened. Therefore, if you are wearing hand-knitted winter clothing, a hand-worked custom button will go well with your dress. You can ask your tailor to make few buttons for you to suit the sewing patterns and designs of your clothes. There are designers who make the dress buttons based on definite themes. You can also order special buttons to embellish your bags, frills, hats, and shoes. 

You can approach a designer to get pictures or messages highlighted on your custom buttons. If you are a member of an organization and are looking for something different to mark the uniqueness of your group, you can order pin-back custom buttons on which the logo or emblem of your group can be written.

Shirt it Right

ShirtChoose wisely!

A white formal shirt is the typical choice for a formal occasion. But it is also predictable and dull. If you are attending a wedding or going for a job interview, it still might be the best choice. For more casual occasions, stick to soft colors and subdued patterns like pinstripes. Never ever make the blunder of wearing a translucent shirt for a formal occasion.

The Fit Does Matter!

The fit is the be-all and end-all of a good shirt. Unless your shirt fits you perfectly, with the sleeves being of the right length, and the collar being just right, your shirt cannot pass the test. Do not try to wear one with sleeves that expose your wrists, or one which has a collar that is so tight that it chokes you if you attempt to knot a tie.  A loose collar is the height of tackiness because it will put your whole neck on display.

Get Your Buttons Right!

Do not leave any button unfastened on your shirt! Even the tiny buttons on the side of the sleeve near the shirt cuffs are there for a reason- for you to button them! Jokes aside, they will keep your forearm from being exposed, and buttons on your collar will make sure your collar sits properly on your shirt instead of sticking out and curling up.
