T-Shirt Size Guide: How to Choose the Right Fit Every Time
Share
Buying a t-shirt online means you can't try it on first — so getting the size right the first time matters. Here's how to do it properly.
Measure Before You Guess
Don't rely on the size you "usually" wear across different brands — sizing varies. Instead, measure a t-shirt you already own and love the fit of: chest width (armpit to armpit), length (shoulder to hem), and shoulder width. Compare these numbers to the size chart on the product page.
Regular Fit vs Oversized Fit
A regular/unisex fit sits close to the body with a standard length. An oversized fit is intentionally roomier through the chest and often longer — great for the relaxed streetwear look, but it will feel noticeably bigger than your usual size, by design.
When in Doubt, Check the Product-Specific Chart
Sizing can vary slightly between collections and print styles, so always check the size chart on the individual product page rather than assuming every t-shirt in a range fits identically.
What to Do If You're Between Sizes
If you're between two sizes, consider how you want the tee to fit: size down for a closer, regular fit, or size up if you prefer extra room or plan to layer it.
