Stop Wearing Your T-Shirt Wrong
About this video
Centeno teaches men how to choose and wear t-shirts properly by covering four key elements: hem types (straight, curved, split, elongated) and necklines (crewneck, V-neck, Henley) that suit different body types, the importance of proper fit in shoulders, chest, torso and length, fabric composition and its performance qualities, and color selection based on skin tone and desired visual effects.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that t-shirt hem style should match body type—curved hems for athletic builds, split hems for wider hips, elongated hems for taller men over 6'2", and straight hems for most body shapes
- Centeno emphasizes that proper fit is critical and non-negotiable, particularly at the shoulders, with 1.5-3 inches of excess room in the chest and length extending about 2 inches below the waistline
- Centeno recommends considering fabric blends beyond 100% cotton, noting that polyester and spandex additions provide stretch, wrinkle resistance, and shape retention, while acknowledging that fabric choice depends on desired shirt qualities
- Centeno advises men over 25 to avoid graphic t-shirts in favor of solid colors, and suggests matching colors based on body type—monochromatic or low-contrast looks for a slimming effect, contrast looks to highlight athletic builds
