The Outfttd Edit
Fit notes
The shape of a good T-shirt.
Small differences in shoulder, sleeve and length change the entire silhouette.
Read the shoulder
A shoulder seam near the shoulder point usually creates a neater fit. A dropped seam creates a more relaxed silhouette. Neither is inherently better: choose the shape you want.
Compare width and length
Boxy tees are typically wider relative to their length. Oversized tees add room across several measurements. Measure a favourite T-shirt laid flat and compare it with the product's garment measurements when available.
Consider the fabric
Fabric weight affects drape. Heavier cotton tends to hold a more structured shape; lighter fabric often falls closer to the body. Check composition and care instructions rather than judging from a photograph alone.
