On the hunt for the perfect t-shirt that feels tailor-made for you? Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe basics or searching for something with a bit more personality, finding the right t-shirt can truly transform your everyday style. From classic crew necks to bold graphic prints, the choices are endless! To make the decision a little easier, we’ve put together a simple guide to help you find a t-shirt that looks great and feels even better. Read on to discover how Atlas For Men can take your everyday wardrobe to the next level…

How to find the perfect t-shirt size and fit

When it comes to men’s t-shirts, finding the right size starts with understanding your measurements and knowing what fit works best for you. A properly fitted short sleeve t-shirt should sit comfortably on your shoulders, without pulling at the chest or bunching under the arms.

At Atlas For Men, our sizes range from S (chest size approx. 34½-37½ inches) up to 4XL (chest size approx. 52-54 inches). We recommend measuring around the fullest part of your chest, making sure that the tape isn’t pulled too tightly. Remember, a t-shirt should allow you to move freely – you should be able to cross your arms without the fabric feeling too snug.

Sizes can vary between brands, so always check the specific size guide for each one. If you’re between sizes, go for the larger size for a more relaxed fit, or the smaller size for a slimmer, more fitted style.

Fitted or oversized: which style suits your body type?

Finding the right t-shirt isn’t just about following trends – it’s about choosing what works best for your body shape. A fitted t-shirt creates a clean, streamlined look, hugging your natural contours without leaving you feeling restricted. If you’ve got broader shoulders or a larger chest, though, a regular-fit tee is the way to go – it gives you more freedom to move while still looking smart.

Looking for a more modern look? Go for an oversized tee! It’s a relaxed fit that works brilliantly for lean frames, helping to balance your shape. Look for one that’s roomy at the shoulders but still keeps some structure through the body.

Remember, the right length matters too! A classic, fitted t-shirt should hit just below your waist, while oversized styles fall slightly lower. For a more balanced look, pair loose-fitting tees with structured trousers to keep your shape in check.

Choose quality materials: from cotton to jersey blends

For maximum comfort and breathability, 100% cotton t-shirts are your best bet! However, when it comes to sports or active wear, a cotton-polyester blend, or a crease-resistant 100% polyester tee is a better option, as these fabrics absorb moisture and dry quickly.

From classic white tees to bold graphics and everything in between, your style, your choice!

When it comes to style, a plain white t-shirt remains the ultimate wardrobe staple. Whether paired with jeans for a timeless look or worn as a base layer under your favourite overshirt or jacket, men’s white tees never go out of style.

If you want to show more personality, however, our graphic print t-shirts with bold designs are sure to make a statement, adding character to any outfit. If you’re going for a striking graphic tee, pair it with simple, solid-coloured bottoms to let the t-shirt do the talking.

Summer must-haves: cool t-shirts for warmer weather

When temperatures rise, choosing the right t-shirt becomes even more crucial for staying fresh and stylish! Choose light, breathable fabrics in summer-ready colours to keep you cool. Go for pure cotton or cotton-blend t-shirts in bright blues, crisp whites, or cool pastels that reflect heat – avoid dark colours that soak it up!

For optimal comfort in hot weather, pick t-shirts with a looser fit to allow better airflow, keeping you feeling fresh while still looking sharp. Dark colours can look stylish, but they tend to absorb heat, so we recommend saving them for evening wear!

Pair your summer tees with lightweight chinos or cargo shorts for an effortless look, perfect for relaxed beach days and casual barbecues in the garden.
