Best Shirts for Every Male Body Shape

Find your body shape with the body shape calculator for men, then jump to the guide for your shape below.

• Shirts for trapezoid

  Broad chest, tapered waist: pick shirts that follow that line so they skim the body instead of billowing.

  Try: Slim or tailored fits that are cut narrower at the waist than the chest.

• Shirts for inverted triangle

  A big chest and shoulders tend to strain shirts, so fit across the back and chest comes first.

  Try: Athletic or muscle-fit shirts with more room in the chest and a tapered waist.

• Shirts for rectangle

  With a straight torso, add shape through structure and layers, not by making shirts tighter.

  Try: Regular or tailored fits with a crisp collar and structured shoulder.

• Shirts for oval

  The right shirt is the right length, does not pull at the buttons, and follows a clean vertical line.

  Try: Regular or relaxed fits with a bit of room in the middle.

• Shirts for triangle

  Add width and interest to the upper body with shirts that have structure and pattern.

  Try: Structured shoulders and crisp collars that add width at the top.
