How a Dress Shirt Should Fit | A Visual Guide

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive visual guide to proper dress shirt fit, covering key areas including collar, shoulders, chest, sleeves, cuffs, and shirt length. He argues that fit is more important than price and recommends working with a tailor to adjust shirts to your body, since most off-the-rack options won’t fit perfectly.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that a well-fitting shirt can make an inexpensive garment look amazing, while poor fit undermines even expensive pieces
  • Centeno recommends the collar should allow two fingers of space, shoulders should hit where the arm meets the shoulder, and the torso should taper naturally following your silhouette
  • Centeno advises that sleeve length should just cover the wrist bone, cuffs should fit close without allowing hand removal when buttoned, and shirt tails should end several inches below the belt to stay tucked
