How to Choose the Perfect Shirt for Your Body Type

Finding the perfect shirt isn’t just about style — it’s about fit. At Boss & Co, we believe every man deserves a shirt that complements his unique physique and boosts confidence. Here’s how to choose and customize your shirt based on your body type.

1. Slim Build

If you have a lean frame with narrower shoulders and a smaller waist:

  • Go for: Slim or tailored fits that accentuate your shape without excess fabric.

  • Collars: Spread or point collars work well to add balance to your proportions.

  • Details: Avoid bulky pockets or heavy patterns that can overwhelm your frame.

2. Athletic Build

Broad shoulders, muscular chest, and a narrower waist define this body type:

  • Go for: Shirts with a tapered waist to highlight your physique but roomy enough in the shoulders.

  • Collars: Button-down or classic collars suit this look, adding structure.

  • Details: Stretch fabrics or blends offer comfort and flexibility.

3. Average Build

Balanced proportions and a moderate waistline:

  • Go for: Classic or slim fits depending on your preference for comfort or a sharper look.

  • Collars: Almost any collar style works — try experimenting with different options.

  • Details: Solid colors and subtle patterns keep your look versatile.

4. Larger Build

Broader waist and chest with a fuller silhouette:

  • Go for: Relaxed or classic fits that offer comfort without clinging.

  • Collars: Spread collars can elongate the neck and balance proportions.

  • Details: Darker colors and vertical patterns can create a slimming effect.
