How to wear T-Shirts

T-Shirts are a pretty big aspect in the lives of most men. Most men will never leave the style staple alone, but regardless of this few men will ever wear a T-Shirt well. 

Some tips to perfecting the T-Shirt look:

1. "Tailored", "Fitted" and "Slim".

- If any of these words is written on the label of a T-Shirt, you know you're in for a winner.

- The problem with most T-Shirts is that they're all cut like a box and this does very little to create a streamlined figure. I personally prefer the word "Tailored" over "Fitted" and "Slim", because the latter two tend to be cut with more straight lines while "Tailored" T-Shirts have a smoother cut to the male form. 

- The image to the left is "slim fit" and the image to the right has a "tailored fit". I've tried to pick images that show guys of a similar build, because you could be fooled into thinking that "slim fit" is better. As a general rule, if you're built like a tank then go for slim fit, if not go for tailored. 

2. Neck lines.

- This image to the left describes the common necklines on T-Shirts. This image is exactly correct! 

- "V-necks"tend to project a more streamlined figure than "Crew necks", but actually if it's well cut to your body it won't make a huge difference. The "Douchebag neck" may technically be even more streamlining, but people will laugh at you.


3. Colours.

- David Gandy knows how to rock a T-Shirt! One of the reasons he always looks great though is because he knows about colours. 

- The red from his trousers not only coordinates with his car (which is stunning), but also with the logo on his T-shirt. 

- When you pick out a T-Shirt, try to think about what you'll be wearing it with and as always keep it simple! 

- On a similar note, try to keep away from bold patterns and screen prints. These can look great on the beach with a pair of shorts, but otherwise try to keep away from these, because they're a bit of a nightmare to coordinate. 

4. Brands.

- Brands are great for some stuff, but I'm a believer that you don't need to cover yourself with them to look good. When it comes to T-Shirts, you can buy a great one for £10 and under, but as soon as you add the Dolce and Gabbana or Giorgio Armani premium you end up spending a massive amount. Also, most T-shirts don't have a very good life span, so don't blow your wallet on them. 

5. Jeans and a T-Shirt are sexy. That's all you need to know. 

Until next time:

Dress Hot - Be Hot!
