A perfectly fitting dress shirt. here is a second photo of a man wearing a dress shirt with an in between fit. do you notice how he appears comfortable, but not sloppy. there are no unsightly openings around the buttonholes and the collar fits just right. this is what any man should aspire to look like in his dressy shirt. The dress shirt, on the other hand, is often woven with varying patterns like herringbone. the shirt will usually be quite a bit thinner than its counterpart and the more complex weave design can offer textural uniqueness. often, dress shirts will have a bit of a ‘sheen’ to them because of the weave type and its 100% cotton composition.
Low and open. create a great casual look that’s just a little bit sexy, too, by wearing a white men’s dress shirt with jeans. unbutton the top two buttons, leave two buttons done and then undo the rest to create a low, long opening at the bottom of the shirt. The proper fit means that the collar touches the skin around the neck – but doesn't press against it. so you're able to slip 2 fingers comfortably in between your neck and the collar at any point. the shoulder points are shifted beyond your shoulders and towards the neck. As it’s not possible to make sure it’s larger because there’s no fabric reserve, it pays to get a shirt that has the right width and yoke and the right width in the chest and then if the waist is too wide, you can always reduce it. for most men, the shirt has to be wider again in the hips that it wasn’t a waste. The general rule of proper sleeve length is that it should cover the wrist bones and end at the start of your palm. this correlates with the suit jacket’s sleeve length just shy of the wrist. as a result, ½ to ¼ inch of the shirt cuff will be exposed. the sleeve is too short when the wrist is visible.

Unfortunately, many men are walking around in dress shirts that decidedly do not fit well — being either too small, or most frequently, 1 2 sizes too big. while the wearers themselves may not notice it, other people will. poorly fitting dress shirts give you a look that’s unprofessional, sloppy, and just generally less sharp than it could be. Two fingers fit between collar and neck. sleeves end at break of the wrist. shoulder seams sync with your shoulders. cuffs are neither cinched at the wrist nor do they fall past it. let’s show you an overview of the various elements of a properly fitted dress shirt, then we’ll dive into the individual sections below.
