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
