The Best T-Shirts for Men: Fit, Fabric, and Style

The Best T-Shirts for Men: Fit, Fabric, and Style

A great t-shirt is the most-worn item in your wardrobe. Getting the fit and fabric right changes everything.

The right fit

  • Shoulder seams sit at the edge of the shoulder
  • The hem falls at mid-hip
  • Sleeves end mid-bicep, not at the elbow
  • A slim or regular cut that skims, not clings

The right fabric

  • 100% cotton for breathability
  • Cotton blends for stretch and shape retention
  • A heavier weight drapes better and lasts longer

The colors to own

White, grey, black, and navy cover almost every outfit. Add a few colors or stripes for variety.

Invest in quality basics — a well-fitting tee beats a designer logo every time.
