HOW TO GET THE PERFECT SIZE T-SHIRT?

T-shirts are one of the most universal clothing items. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a man or a woman, young or old. Everyone likes T-shirts.

There are two ways to find the perfect T-shirt size:
1. You may do the trial and error method with countless returns and a lot of frustration.
2. You may do some measurements beforehand and dressing up to increase your chances of getting the right one first time.

How to Fit a T-Shirt

1. Size / Tightness: a t-shirt that fits perfectly should not be too tight or loose. If it’s too loose, it’s going to hang on you like a box and look totally unflattering. If it’s too tight, it will look like you ‘re stuck in it and are about to burst the seams at any point — a look that will almost certainly come across as stupid and annoying.

2. Shoulder Seams: The shoulder seams are a good way to tell you how to fit your t-shirt. Generally, these seams should reach the end of your shoulder at the very top of your arm. If your upper arm is stretched out, the t-shirt is too big. If you don’t get to the end of your shoulder, the t-shirt is too small.

3. Sleeves: T-shirt sleeves should be extended about halfway down your upper arm. You might be safe to wear sleeves that are slightly longer if you’re exceptionally tall, as they tend to be more proportionate.

4. Length: The bottom hem of your t-shirt isn’t supposed to go beyond your hips, or it’s too small. It’s supposed to cover your waistband and extend a few inches past that. If it’s short, it’s going to look like a crop top when you raise your arms. If it’s a long time, it’s going to look like a dress. Make sure you lift your arms and see how far you ‘re going when you put on a t-shirt.

5. Shape: In many low-cost T-shirts, there is no standard form. If you put it on, they ‘re hanging like boxes, and they’re very unattractive. Instead, look for a t-shirt that follows the lines of your body a little bit more. Avoid the ones that are cut in the shape of large squares.

How to measure yourself with a T-Shirt:
A t-shirt size chart or map can be useful because it breaks down a list of measurements and tells you what size these measurements will add up to. It makes it easy to look at the chart, for example, for the size of your chest, and see what size of a t-shirt someone should wear.

Here are the measurements that you should take when it comes to measuring yourself for a T-shirt:

1. Chest: wrap the measuring tape under the armpits and around the entire part of your chest to measure your body. It’s important to be able to stand normally, without flexing or puffing your chest. The tape measure should be snug, but it’s not supposed to be so tight that your breathing is hindered.

2. Length: The bottom hem of your t-shirt should be a few inches below your waistband. Stand straight and calculate the length you need from the height of your shoulder below your waist.
