Best T-Shirts for Men with an Inverted triangle Body Shape

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

This guide is for the inverted triangle body shape: chest at least 10% bigger than the hips, with a waist under 98% of the wider measurement.

Look for

  • Crew and V-necks in a mid-weight, drapey cotton
  • Longer hems that end at the hip, not above the belt
  • Sleeves that end at mid-bicep and are not tight at the arm
  • Darker colours on top and lighter or patterned bottoms

Skip or adjust

  • Tight or thin T-shirts that stretch across the chest and show every edge
  • Wide horizontal stripes and large chest prints
  • Cropped or short-hem tees that make the upper body look bigger
