How Should A Dress Shirt Fit? - Men's Clothing Fit Guide

About this video

Weston provides a comprehensive guide to proper dress shirt fit, covering key areas including collar, shoulders, arm holes, sleeves, cuffs, body, and length. She demonstrates each fitting point using a model and explains what to look for to ensure a dress shirt fits correctly without excess fabric or restriction of movement.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues the collar should fit comfortably with only one finger fitting inside when buttoned, as two fingers indicates the collar is too large
• Weston teaches that shoulder seams should align with where the shoulder begins to slope, and arm holes should be cut high enough to allow motion without digging into the underarm
• Weston recommends sleeve length should end at the wrist bend when cuffed, with minimal bunching, and the body should allow pinching only two to three inches of fabric on either side regardless of build
• Weston states that dress shirts worn untucked should end around mid-crotch in length, and that dress shirts are generally designed to be tucked in to stay properly positioned
