Best T-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.

• T-shirts for trapezoid

  A T-shirt that fits the shoulders and chest but skims the waist shows the shape without looking tight.

  Try: Fitted crew or V-neck T-shirts in a mid-weight cotton that holds its shape.

• T-shirts for inverted triangle

  The right T-shirt is snug on the shoulders but not skin-tight, and long enough to balance the width above.

  Try: Crew and V-necks in a mid-weight, drapey cotton.

• T-shirts for rectangle

  Look for tees with some structure and texture so they add dimension instead of hanging straight.

  Try: Heavier cotton or pique that holds its shape.

• T-shirts for oval

  Look for T-shirts that skim rather than cling and end at the right point to cover the widest part of the middle.

  Try: Regular fits in a heavier, opaque cotton that hangs cleanly.

• T-shirts for triangle

  Choose T-shirts with texture, pattern or colour so the top half does more of the work.

  Try: Horizontal stripes, colour blocking and chest details.
