Best T-Shirts for Men with a Triangle Body Shape

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

This guide is for the triangle body shape: hips at least 5% bigger than the chest, with a waist under 98% of the hip measurement.

Look for

  • Horizontal stripes, colour blocking and chest details
  • Heavier cotton or pique that holds its shape at the shoulder
  • Crew and boat necks that add width across the collarbone
  • Hems that end at the top of the seat

Skip or adjust

  • Long tees that end at the widest part of the hips
  • Plain, thin, clingy jersey with no texture
  • Deep V-necks that narrow the shoulders
