Best T-Shirts for Men with a Rectangle Body Shape
Look for tees with some structure and texture so they add dimension instead of hanging straight.
This guide is for the rectangle body shape: chest and hips within 5% of each other, with a waist between 90% and 98% of the wider of the two.
Look for
- Heavier cotton or pique that holds its shape
- Crew necks and polo shirts with a structured collar
- Horizontal stripes, colour blocking and pocket details on the chest
- A hem that ends at the belt line, or a slightly curved hem
Skip or adjust
- Thin, floppy T-shirts that cling and fall straight
- Very oversized tees that make the body look like a tube
- Vertical stripes and dark head-to-toe, which stretch the torso even more
