Types of men's shirts - fitted and loose, how to distinguish a classic from a sports shirt, the correct size of a shirt

Every man has a variety of shirts in his wardrobe. Contrary to the stereotypical opinion, they differ from each other not only in color. Shirts are sewn from different fabrics. They can be cut in different ways, depending on their style and the figure of the man. For the owner of a slim figure who is looking for a shirt for a business suit, fitted models are recommended. Leisure models have a more relaxed fit.

To purchase a shirt of the required size, it is not at all necessary to go to the store yourself and try on the ones you like. There is a table on the collar, according to which you can easily choose the appropriate size.

How to determine the size by two measures

To choose a new thing, you need to understand what a table of shirt sizes on the collar is and what values ​​\ u200b \ u200bare indicated in it.

The shirt size is usually marked with two numeric values, which are indicated by a slash. The first number is the neck volume, the second is the sleeve length. Both values ​​can be in centimeters or inches.

Measurement rules

But how to identify the collar? This is quite easy to do. You will need a tailor's meter, with which you need to take only two measurements: neck volume and sleeve length.

The neck circumference must be measured at the very base, where the most voluminous part is located. It is important that the tailor's meter does not squeeze too hard on the neck. Also, there should not be a very large distance between him and the neck. Otherwise, the chosen shirt may be very tight or, conversely, too loose.

It is best to use outside help to measure the sleeve. To do this correctly, the man from whom the measurement is taken must stand up straight with his hands down along his torso. The tailor's meter is applied in the mid-neck area. The measuring tape should run down the shoulder, across the elbow to the wrist. The resulting distance in centimeters is the length of the sleeve, that is, the second value in the size of the shirt.

These two measurements are quite enough for a table of shirt sizes on the collar to help you choose a new thing. This data already takes into account both the growth and the fullness of a person.

Why do we need measurements

There are different size systems in different countries of the world. In order for, for example, the English table of sizes for shirts on the collar to be understandable to a Russian person, size comparison tables have been invented. Knowing your neck girth and sleeve length will always help you determine the right one.

It happens that instead of a digital size, a letter is indicated on a shirt: S, M, L, XL. For some reason it is impossible to try on a shirt, but this is not a reason to refuse a purchase. You just need to know what numerical parameters are hidden in these letters.

Size S assumes that the neck is 37-38 centimeters and the sleeve is 81-84 centimeters long. Large men's shirts range from XL. So, for example, it is intended for a man with a neck girth of 45-46 centimeters and a sleeve length of up to 92 centimeters.

You can also determine the required knowledge of Russian. For owners of size 46, 48 means M, European L is 50 according to the Russian system of sizes, and XL is 52.

Thus, knowing only a few simple parameters, you can always choose the required shirt size.

An integral part of any man's wardrobe is a shirt that will help create, emphasize style and image. This type of clothing is worn both in everyday life and for important meetings. There is no doubt that in every man's wardrobe there are several options for shirts that have a different color, style, style, material. Such clothes are considered multifunctional, suitable for all occasions.

The basic rule when choosing a shirt is that it should fit the man perfectly. Therefore, in order not to be mistaken with the style, size, you should know how to determine the size of a shirt for men. But first, let's look at what types they are, what you should pay attention to when buying them.

Types of men's shirts

There is a considerable selection of men's shirts on store shelves, however, the most common are classic and sporty models:

  • Classic - multifunctional, it gives elegance and formality. It can be worn under a sweater or jacket, with or without a tie. Such options are suitable for men of any height, figure. The choice of material, color depends entirely on the taste of a man.
  • Sportswear - differs from classic ones in that such clothes are made from coarse, dense materials, including jeans. Sports shirts can have all kinds of patterns, metal buttons, decorative fasteners, many pockets. This type of clothing can be worn under shorts, jeans, non-classic trousers.

Important! It should not be tucked into your pants, the main thing is that it fits in size and fits well.

Choosing a shirt: what to look for?

In order to choose the right shirt, you need to pay attention to the following points:

  • Shoulder seams - should be exactly where the shoulder ends and the arm begins;
  • Sleeve length - the sleeve must necessarily cover the man's wrist and end where the thumb joint begins;
  • Length - should be such that when the man lifts his arms up, the edges do not slip out of the trousers;
  • Collar - 1-2 fingers should fit between the neck and the collar.

Important! When buying a shirt, you should definitely try it on, otherwise there is a risk of making a mistake.

How to determine the size of the shirt?

The size always consists of two numbers:

  • The first is the neck circumference, which is measured in centimeters or inches.
  • The second is the sleeve size, measured from the middle of the neck to the wrist, over the shoulder and elbow.

It often happens that the size markings on the shirt do not correspond to the desired size, in such cases there is a risk that the thing will sit ugly on the man. Therefore, in order to choose the right shirt size, you should use a tailor's meter and follow these steps:

  1. Measure the collar. In order to find out the size of the shirt by the collar, measure the circumference of the neck. For these purposes, use a flexible meter: wrap it around the neck at its base, add a couple more centimeters to the resulting figure.
  2. Measure the sleeve length. A man should stand up straight, straightening his shoulders and putting his hands down. The measuring tape should be applied to a point in the middle of the neck, holding the meter with one hand, and with the other - leading it over the shoulder, up to the wrist along the arm. The number of centimeters obtained will be the size of the shirt sleeve.
  3. You can take other measurements, which will also not be superfluous. Measure the distance from the shoulder joint to the wrist.

Having these measurements, you can correctly choose and buy a shirt of the required size. The results of the measurement should be added, and two numbers will come out - this will be the desired size, which already takes into account the fullness and height of the man.

How can you make sure your shirt fits well?

Considering the individual characteristics of the physique of each man, it is equally important how the shirt sits. Here you should pay attention to the following points:

  • The sleeve should be long enough to cover the wrist. When flexing the arm, the cuffs should not pull up and squeeze the wrist.
  • The cuff of the shirt should be tight, but not squeeze the wrist or hang over the arm, even when the button is unbuttoned.
  • The shirt should not hug the waist and chest, of course, unless the shirt is in a sporty style.
  • The shirt should not slip out of the trousers. This can be verified by simply raising your hands up.
  • It should be free between the collar and the neck - so that 1-2 fingers fit.

Colour

A well-chosen color can give your face an attractive hue:

  • Men with a yellowish complexion are not recommended to wear gray, light green and yellow clothes.
  • People with ruddy faces won't look good in shades of red shirts - it's better to opt for other colors.
  • For owners of swarthy and tanned faces, stylists advise choosing alternative colors to brown or orange.

Important! Classic white models are suitable for all males, regardless of complexion. It is advisable to give preference to such tones when choosing a shirt for a holiday and special events.

It is worth noting that when choosing a shirt with a pattern, you need to remember about the discrepancy between the same pattern on the shirt, tie and jacket.

Important! The color of the shirt should always be slightly lighter than the tie and jacket.

The choice of a men's shirt is always very important, therefore, when buying it, it is better to be present yourself. So, you can choose the exact size, decide on the style and color, and also:

  • When buying, pay attention to the material. The most common material for shirts is linen or cotton - such products are practical and affordable. For lovers of extravagant style, silk is suitable.
  • Items such as cuffs and collar are considered important. If a man has a round oval face, then a wide collar will suit him, and with a narrow one - a medium or narrow collar. The cuffs can be single or double. Cufflinks are required for double cuffs.
  • If a man is inclined to be overweight, he is advised to wear looser shirts in dark colors. They shouldn't hang, but they shouldn't hug the waist either.
  • For men with a sporty physique, classic style products are more suitable - fitting well to the body, they will help emphasize a handsome male figure.

What do you think: a shirt and a shirt are one and the same? If these concepts do not make a difference for you, then after this article you will completely clear up all the contradictions for yourself and you will be aware to the maximum extent about everything related to shirts and shirts. I must say right away that these two wardrobe items differ significantly from each other. Let's figure it out.

Both shirts and shirts sometimes look the same and are sewn according to almost the same patterns, therefore, to immediately understand what is at stake, imagine a Texan guy dressed in a recognizable plaid shirt and a man in a suit. So, the Texan is dressed in a shirt, and the man under his jacket is not a shirt at all, but a shirt.

So, unlike a shirt, a shirt is an independent outer garment (casual, formal, formal), which is sewn from dense fabric: flannel, jeans, etc. A modern shirt can be worn both outside and tucked into trousers, without a jacket and under a jacket. Shirt cuffs are always buttoned. It fastens with buttons along the entire length of the shelf. And the shirt can also have a print, some catchy drawing, as well as elements of a military style (shoulder straps, pockets on the flaps).


The shirt is worn under something - a jacket, sweater, or something else, and is sewn from a thin, delicate fabric (cotton, silk, linen, cambric). The collar of the shirt is more firm, as it is designed to be worn with a tie. The shirt has a straight, even floor, while the shirt has rounded floors. The cuffs of a classic shirt are fastened only with cufflinks (although now this rule is losing ground). Its length can reach knees. You can wear a shirt with jeans of a classic cut, but it cannot be worn for graduation, while a shirt can. For the manufacture of modern shirts, cotton is often used, cotton fabric "breathes" on a hot summer day, and creates the effect of coolness.

Everything related to shirts can be found in my article "". There, by the way, the topic of the difference between a shirt and a chemise has already been touched upon. The differences between these two wardrobe items are often incomprehensible to many men, so this time I decided to re-focus on their differences with a deep analysis of the shirts.

File cabinet for a man's shirt.

I will focus on only two classifications of this garment - by style and by type of cut. By style, shirts are classic and sporty, and by type of cut - fitted and loose.

(not to be confused with shirts) most often refer to the office style of clothing. They are worn with and without a tie, with and without a jacket, under a sweater and jeans. By the way, a classic shirt is used in a men's wardrobe not only for an office or office - this is exactly the option when it becomes a formal informal formal dress of almost all men, from a plumber to a bank employee. The fabric for such shirts is used soft, with a thin weave, namely: twill, pinpoint, royal oxford - all, of course, made of cotton, no synthetics. If we talk about the color shades of a classic shirt, then 50% is white, and the remaining 50% are pastel light colors (blue, peach, lime, pink, light gray, etc.). The main thing is to know that a classic shirt cannot be bright colors, and also cannot be multi-colored. Classic shirts are very popular as they are suitable for any man, regardless of his figure or complexion.


Is a complete everyday life. One might argue here that these are not sports shirts, but casual shirts. I do not think so. It is worth noting that there are shirts with elements of almost all styles: military, safari, ethnicity, avangrad. And in the casual style itself, there are three more sub-styles: smart casual, sports casual and business casual. So where do all the shirts, except the classic ones, end up? I propose to dwell on the sports definition - it is simple and understandable for everyone. For sports shirts, there is a much larger range of colors, and the patterns are bolder and more varied. And then there are epaulettes, decorative fasteners, a large number of pockets, zippers, additional buttons and stitches. The materials are used a little coarser, stronger. It can be simple oxford, chambray, flannel, denim. By the way, the latter, denim, are returning their popularity again after the triumph in the 80s of the last century. Don't be afraid to wear a denim shirt with jeans, as long as the bottom is darker.

Shirts of this type are distinguished by a semi-adjacent cut, which is why they are suitable for men with a sporty figure. Fitted shirts are often worn for events such as a party, date, holiday family reunion, etc. When choosing this type of shirt, you must take into account that you need to select it carefully so that it is not too taut and harmoniously matches your figure.

The loose shirt manages to combine comfort and severity, so it is one of the most practical wardrobe items for every man. I would like to point out that loose shirts and baggy things should not be confused. The fact is that the function of loose shirts is to hide the features of the figure. Often it is overweight men who wear a loose shirt so as not to be constrained in movement.

If you approach the question of collars as accurately as possible, then you can describe their varieties and types on a couple of dozen pages of printed text, after which it is not surprising to get completely confused. For ease of understanding the issue, I recommend paying attention to the TOP-5 collars for men's shirts.

Classic collar

This version of the collar with pointed ends directed slightly to the sides is an axiom of formal style, universally combined with ties and bow-ties of any style. Elastic polymer plates sewn into the collar allow it to keep its shape well. Shirts with a classic collar are usually worn under a suit, but they also work well with a less strict dress code, for example, a wool cardigan with buttons or a sweater with a round collar.

Collar "Kent"

One of the most common types of collars in some sources, referred to as Oxford (Oxford Point, Oxford Point Collor), can be called the most versatile. Like the classic one, its edges are turned downwards, but the angle formed between them is sharper. This collar goes well with any business suit or V-neck sweater. The only significant limitation is that the tie knot should not be selected too massive.

In numerous interpretations of the Kent collar, its length, width, as well as the sharpness of the angle formed by its halves change. This collar is completely self-contained, which is why it is often found in casual shirts worn outside.

Button-down Collar (Batten Down)

Fastened to the base with small buttons, this neat collar with the edges facing down and slightly to the sides leaves plenty of room for a thin tie or small bow tie and also matches perfectly with V-jersey. Keeping its original shape even after washing, it is equally well suited for a sweater with a round collar, a vest with a shallow neckline or an open cardigan with a cropped button closure.

French collar (shark)

Fold-over collar with pointed edges set wide apart and almost parallel to the floor. This collar will work with a wide knot or bow tie, but don't pair it with a jacket or tuxedo.

Collar "Mandarin"

A low stand-up collar without turn-down edges in the form of a narrow fabric strip, tightly fitting the neck, “mandarin” is traditionally combined with a jacket (a man's jacket with a similar stand-up collar), but it can also be an element of a sports shirt combined with a light jacket or mac.

The size. In choosing the size of the shirt, the most important thing is to guess with the shoulders: the shoulder seam runs strictly where the shoulder passes into the arm. If the seam is lower, then the shirt will look like from someone else's shoulder (and you don't need that).

In a button-down shirt, you should be comfortable and loose. If you guessed right with the size and the shirt fits you correctly, then one or two fingers can easily fit between the inside of the collar and the neck, and the fabric in the waist area does not stretch more than 8-10 cm.

Pay attention to the width of the armholes - to find out that everything is fine with the size, do a simple test. Raise your arms at an angle of 45 degrees from the body - the shirt tucked into the pants should not rise more than two centimeters. The same goes for the sleeves: no matter how actively you gesture, the cuffs should always cover your wrists and not expose them too much, even if you have to swing hard while chopping wood.

Roll up our sleeves. If you are hot or uncomfortable in a long-sleeved shirt, roll them up. Once rolled up sleeves were considered bad manners, but now the situation has changed: rather, it is such a small thoughtful detail that gives the image some charisma and lightness. By the way, you can roll up your sleeves in at least two ways. The first, the most famous and obvious, but rather boring: twist the cuff width 2 times. But there is an excellent alternative to this "old-fashioned" method - quite elegant, but at the same time not devoid of dashing romance and neat negligence. Simply tuck the sleeve about two or a little more than the cuff width, undoing the button on both the cuff and the sleeve, and then tuck it up again, covering almost the entire cuff and leaving only its edge visible (see photo).

I think you know that a dress shirt should definitely be tucked into trousers. But what about the shirts that solo in the ensemble? In other cases, it is a matter of taste, image and your mood. It is definitely not necessary to tuck in a sports shirt. Just take into account the peculiarities of your figure and choose the right length and width of the shirt. You don't want to look like an elderly American clerk from the 80s, do you? Then do not tuck wide shirts into your trousers, which will hang over the belt like an avalanche over alpine freeriders. Your silhouette should be flat and the shirt should flow into the trousers, without forming bends and folds. If suddenly in width it turned out to be a little too big for you, use a little trick: make something like darts, putting excess fabric on the sides in the folds, fixed by the belt of your trousers. This is the so-called "army" way of tucking in a shirt. The optimal shirt length is considered to be when the back of the shirt does not fall below the pockets, and in front it is below the pocket, but above the beginning of the zipper.

The main patterns of men's shirts.

The history of each of the patterns described today can become a topic for a separate article, but within the framework of this material, we will focus on the compatibility of this or that shirt ornament with other items of men's wardrobe. One of the clear trends in 2016 is the cage, so in this part of the article I would like to tell you in detail what types of cage print there are, indicating their names. You yourself will be fully aware of this and can once again show off such subtle knowledge in the appropriate situation.

There are many varieties of this original Scottish clan-territorial ornament, often referred to as the Stuart cage. This is a spectacular, but at the same time classic ornament, which can be accentuated to dilute a monochromatic top, for example, a strict black suit, or worn as an independent element. Tartan shirts go well with both wool and textile trousers, as well as dark denim. The optimal shoes for them are brogues, deserts and chelsea. Red tartan looks great with black knitwear, respectively, blue with green and brown.

A truly English plain weave cage is a truly versatile format both for a strictly bow, including a classic jacket, and for everyday wardrobe in combination with a knitted sweater or a hoodie / tracksuit. Combines with almost any shoe and upper.

A noble, usually fine black and white houndstooth pattern is the perfect match for black, brown, blue and dark gray knitwear, a suit, or an elegant crombie coat. A shirt with such an ornament is not striking, it is easy to pick up a tie for it, so dogtooth is good to use within a formal wardrobe.

Relatively wide checkered pattern, composed of symmetrical or asymmetrical interweaving of cells of different colors and sizes. In order not to miss the combination, it is better to choose a cage in the same color scheme with the upper part of the outfit, but it may well act as a contrast: in this case, the coincidence of its individual tones with the color of a cardigan, parka and shoes will be especially successful.

In 2016, many designers took on the shirt cage in their shows. Among others, you can see the following brands: J.Grew, Missoni, Ralph Lauren, Dunhill and others.

A shirt pattern that is relevant at all times, pasley is a symbolic attribute of a dandy look, especially often adorning spectacular shirts in a foppish style. Depending on the color, frequency and size, paisley is combined with a wide palette of outer and trouser wardrobe items - from strict classics and smart-casual to shredded denim and a heaped leather jacket. If you have chosen a shirt with a pasley pattern, then a narrow tie with an identical pattern will become a special chic in addition to it.

Ornament, classic for men's shirts, on the verge of mod-look and smart casual styles. In many ways, this disposition depends on the frequency of the pattern: the more the peas are cut, the more dashing the shirt looks. A shirt with solid peas can be safely worn to the office, but if you accidentally find yourself in it in the theater box for guests of honor, you will feel like a true dandy here too. A sparse polka dot shirt is best for a nightclub or a fashion presentation.

Among the large number of luscious floral prints, a few purely English ones are easily guessed, for example, the historic Tudor rose or the famous English forget-me-nots - classics of British design and the embodiment of its natural elegance. This pattern pairs well with chunky knitwear, a tweed blazer and dreamy leather tassel loafers.

The patterns depicting regular geometric shapes, be it a triangle, three-dimensional crystal or squares, are a reference to the modernist style of the 60s era and its interpretation in the spirit of modern retro today. These shirts do well in a wide variety of bows, easily paired with a quilted cropped jacket, twill coat, chinos, and more formal wardrobe items.

In general, there are no restrictions for patterns and prints of shirts, which is confirmed by every men's fashion show from year to year. Almost every designer collection has patterns, geometric ornaments and intricate designs. This was confirmed by such fashion houses as Givenchy, Kenzo, Alexander McQueen and others.

A widespread form of classic design often associated with the elite sport of yachting or golf. Not always ideally combined with knitwear, striped shirts are justifiably popular lately and are excellently combined with a plain jacket or worn outside with chinos and loafers.

The strip took the most courageous blow this season not only on shirts, but also on the entire men's wardrobe: coats, suits, trousers, bombers. It doesn't matter if it is horizontal or vertical. Stripes are definitely the trend of the year, and striped shirts are abundant in the collections of the Band of Outsiders and Carven brands.

And finally, a shirt or shirt ...

I think that such a detailed alignment allowed you to clearly define the differences between a shirt and a shirt. Now we recommend that you examine your wardrobe and set the status quo for your shirts and shirts. There are no quantitative requirements and mandatory minimum or maximum for this or that type of clothing, here your lifestyle and main type of activity play the main role. If you are an active businessman with an extensive office, then shirts are your priority. In the case when your work does not require a suit and tie, then there are many more shirts in your closet, and the shirt may even be alone.

A shirt is a versatile and very comfortable thing. It can be worn with cargo pants, chinos and jeans, you can walk around the city, make Friday raids to local pubs, take young ladies to the movies, pedal a bicycle, grill barbecue in nature, or even chop wood. The purpose of this post is to help you test your methods of wearing this garment and answer the simple question, am I wearing my shirt the right way? I will be glad if, after reading this article, you have no doubts and questions about the use of men's shirts and shirts in your looks. Always be in trend! I wish you success!

To determine the ideal sleeve length, spread your fingers apart and notice the dimple at the base of your thumb. The buttoned cuff of the shirt should reach the beginning of this depression, that is, it should be located 1–2 cm below the narrowest part of the wrist. The width of the cuff is also important: there should be a space equal to the width of one or two fingers between the body and the fabric.

Length of the bottom hem of the shirt

It is easy to determine the correct length of the shirt: its edge, shortened on the side, should hide the belt. A shirt, the shelves of which completely hide the zipper on the trousers, is considered too long - it is difficult to tuck it neatly, and during movement the fabric will get confused every now and then.

A large assortment of shirts for any figure is presented in the men's clothing salon.

Jacket sleeve length

The sleeve of the jacket should leave the cuff of the shirt 1–2 cm open

The style of the jacket varies, but one thing remains the same - the length of the sleeve. The cuffs of the shirt should protrude 1–2 cm from under the jacket. If they are more open, then it seems that you are wearing a suit that has survived from the school prom. If the shirt sleeves are completely hidden, the jacket will seem too big for you.

Jacket bottom hem length

A classic jacket should cover the buttocks

The rule for choosing a jacket says: the slots should completely cover the buttocks or be shorter by 2-3 cm. But the main thing in choosing a jacket is keeping the proportions of the figure. For example, a classic cut is acceptable for tall ones, and short men should look at cropped models.

The universal length of a jacket is calculated using the formula: the bottom hem halves the distance from the collar to the floor.

Length trousers

At the back, classic trousers should be 1 cm higher than the heel, and in the front, form one fold. To achieve this effect, the bottom of the trousers is sewn at an angle (longer at the back), you can appreciate this even before trying on.

Modern cropped trousers only slightly cover the boots, fully showing the lacing. It looks very stylish, but in this case, the pants should be in a skinny silhouette.

Coat length

It does not hinder movement and looks good on a man of any height.

Shortened models (up to mid-thigh and above) are suitable for active young people of medium or small stature. Please note: the coat must necessarily hide the jacket.

A long coat looks favorably on stately tall men. However, this style can be inconvenient for car owners.

Coat sleeve length

The sleeve of the coat should hide the cuff of the shirt

Polo shirt length

The polo shirt should cover the pockets of your trousers by 1–2 cm

And worn out, and tucked into trousers. As you can imagine, it is especially important to choose the correct length in the first case. An ideal shirt should slightly cover the pockets of your trousers, but no more than 1–2 cm.

Sweater length

The sweater should not be too long

If you want to look elegant, the sweater should end at the level of the belt. Sleeves should hide the wrists and not reach the middle of the palm. Remember: rather than turn you into Bigfoot.

Tie length

The end of the tie should be level with the belt buckle

Too short or too long not respectable, but a comical image... The correct length assumes that the end of the tie should be flush with the belt buckle.

When buying an accessory, be sure to tie it in your usual way. If you are tall, then the standard tie length may not suit you, so you should give preference to elongated models or reconsider the way you tie the knot.

Socks height

The correct length of socks is determined empirically.

To determine, do a little test: sit on a chair and cross your legs. If there is no strip of skin between the toe and the trousers, then everything is fine. If you can see a part of the lower leg, then you need to choose a different style of socks or use a safe option - men's golf.

does not correspond to the usual the size at. Men differ in height, collar volume and sleeve length. Moreover, most foreign manufacturers assign the size based on the last two parameters. Second, before purchasing shirts be sure to take measurements. Even if you've recently made good clothes purchases, it's worth updating your data. Third, the perfect one should not wrinkle, bubble at the waist, and get out from under the belt.

Define the size collar. To find out the size shirts on the collar, you need to measure the circumference of the neck. This is done as follows. Wrap the measuring tape around your neck at the base. Add 1-2 cm to the resulting figure so that the collar lies freely and does not squeeze the throat. For example, if your neck girth is 39 cm, then choose the size a 40 or 41. There should be a free distance equal to the thickness of the index finger between the top button of the buttoned collar and the neck. If the gap is wider, tightening will ruin the collar. It will fold or slide out.

Measure the length of the sleeve. It is inconvenient to do this on your own, ask someone close to you to help you. Stand up straight and straighten your shoulders. Bend your arm at the elbow and raise your elbow to shoulder level. Place your arm horizontally, parallel to your waist. It is imperative to measure the bent arm in order to get a length that allows you to move freely. Run the measuring tape from the vertebra at the base of the neck over the shoulder, then along the arm to the base of the thumb. You will get the ideal length in terms of etiquette: cuffs shirts will completely cover the wrist and protrude from the sleeve of the jacket by 1.5-2 cm. The sleeve provides another selection criterion shirts... The seam that connects this piece to the body shirts, should be positioned exactly on the edge of the shoulder. If the seam has dropped lower, the shirt is large, if it rises up, it is small.

Exactly in height. This setting does not change people. Moreover, the discrepancy shirts the height is easily determined during fitting. Therefore, it is enough to know it with an accuracy of 2-3 cm. A properly selected shirt should be long enough. It needs to be tucked in about 8-10 cm. In this case, you can freely raise your hands, the shirt will not jump out.

Fitting. Examine the packaging carefully. Definition tables are often printed on the back the size a. The markings differ between domestic and foreign firms. If you find it difficult to choose, ask the seller for help. Do not buy a shirt without trying it on. This procedure will not take you much time, but all the shortcomings will be immediately noticeable.
