Look Slimmer Just by Wearing the Right Custom Polo Shirt
Polo shirts have a pretty standard fit. However, custom designing can and does affect cut and fit, especially when it comes to performance shirts, which are designed to create a wider range of motion and activity. With the right fit, polo shirts can make you look slim and polished, which is why it is important to choose the right design when ordering custom shirts. Below are things you should remember when wearing custom shirts to fit:
- Polo shirts should ideally be worn to fit. They should be slim, but never tight fitting. The correct sleeve fit should reach about halfway between your elbow and shoulder. Try sliding a finger between your arm and your sleeve. If you can do this with ease, you are pretty much on the right track. An unbuttoned neckline should reach just around the chest area.
- Like a dress shirt, a club shirt’s shoulder seam should properly sit on your shoulder bone. While sleeve length varies, the ideal size is halfway to about two thirds of the way of the biceps. Shorter sleeves are ideal if you want a vintage look. A longer sleeve is a good choice if you want to look trendy.
- Proper shirt length also depends on your use. Traditional club shirt styles have longer backs. This makes them look better when tucked in. Ideally, the back of your polo shirt should not exceed halfway down your buttocks, while the front should reach up to halfway your fly when tucked.
- Choose the proper shirt size to ensure fit. Consult the sizing table of your shirt supplier to learn how their sizing system works. Different brands and suppliers use slightly varying sizing charts, so make sure you are looking at the right sizing formula and/or sizing chart when trying to order for a group.
