3 Easy Steps For The Perfect Fit

By measuring a T-shirt that you already own and love, and comparing it to our size chart, you can significantly increase your chances of finding a new T-shirt that fits just as well. This method is a great way to find your next favourite T-shirt that fits just as well to add to your wardrobe.

The ultimate t-shirt fitting guide consisting of 3 simple steps. Step 1, grab one of your favourite T-shirts from your wardrobe. Step 2, Lay it out flat and measure it from pit to pit, this is commonly refered to as the 'half chest width'. Step 3, Compare the measurement with our size charts. Its that simple!

Step 1: Select Your Favourite T-Shirt

Choose a T-shirt that fits you perfectly. This will serve as your guide for finding a similar fit in your new T-shirt, whether you’re looking for something snug or a bit more relaxed.

Step 2: Measure the Chest Width

Lay your chosen T-shirt on a flat surface, smoothing out any wrinkles. Find the points directly below the sleeves where the T-shirt seems widest (typically where the sleeves are attached to the T-shirt body). Measure straight across from one side to the other to determine the chest width. This measurement is key to understanding the T-shirt’s fit across your body.

Step 3: Compare With Our Size Chart

With your measurement in hand, refer to our size chart to find the corresponding size. If you're aiming for an oversized look, consider selecting a size that’s one or two larger than what matches your chest width measurement.

Using the chest width measurement of a T-shirt you already enjoy wearing as a benchmark for your new purchase removes much of the guesswork associated with online shopping. It ensures that you focus on a critical fitting area, making it easier to find a T-shirt that feels right for you.

If the length of your T-shirts is equally important to you, don’t forget to measure from the top of the shoulder to the bottom hem of your favourite tee and check it against our chart.

Getting an Oversized Look with a regular fit T-shirt:

Oversized T-shirts are larger than your typical size, offering a relaxed, loose fit that drapes more freely around the body. This style can provide a laid-back, casual aesthetic that's versatile and on-trend.

Choosing the right size up for a regular T-shirt to achieve an oversized look can vary depending on the initial fit of the T-shirt and your personal preference for how oversized you want it to be. However, as a general guideline, here are some tips to consider:

One Size Up: If you're going for a slightly loose fit that offers a bit more room than a standard fit, choosing one size larger than your usual size is a good start. This will give you a bit of extra space without the T-shirt looking too baggy.
Two Sizes Up: For a more distinctly oversized look that's noticeable yet still maintains some shape, going two sizes up is often recommended. This size increase allows for a relaxed fit through the body and sleeves, giving off a casual, streetwear vibe.
Three Sizes Up: If you're aiming for a very oversized, dramatic look, choosing three sizes larger can achieve that style. This level is often seen in certain streetwear and skate culture aesthetics, where the T-shirt almost feels like a dress. It's great for layering or for making a bold fashion statement.

Considerations:

Fabric Type: The material of the T-shirt can affect how it drapes and looks when worn oversized. Lighter, more fluid fabrics may look better when worn oversized compared to thicker, stiffer materials.
Your Body Type: Depending on your body type, you might need to adjust the sizing. For example, if you have broader shoulders, you may naturally need to go a size up for the desired oversized look.
The T-shirt's Design: Some T-shirts are already designed to have a loose fit, even at your regular size. For these, you might not need to size up as much to achieve an oversized look.

Ultimately, choosing the right size for an oversized fit comes down to personal preference. Consider your style, the occasion, and how comfortable you feel in a looser fit. Experimenting with different sizes and fits can help you find the perfect oversized T-shirt that complements your wardrobe and reflects your individuality.

Bonus Tip:

Always check the brand's size chart and any customer reviews for insights on how their sizes run. Some brands may naturally have a looser fit, even for their regular sizes, which could affect how many sizes up you need to go for an oversized look.
