With right styling, you can effortlessly look chic in the pieces you have sitting in your closet for years. Whether you want to attend a trendy gathering or get ready for a fancy family dinner, follow these pointers and instantly upcycle for old basic tees.
Wear the right fit
Look around and chances are you will see boys wearing baggy, loud or faded Tees
This begs the very question…. Can you look amazing wearing a T-shirt? Not sloppy or Basic but formal and crisp.
Aaaahhh, well yes. But only if you know your body type and how to style a tee.
So, how to look good in a T-shirt if you're a mere mortal and not a Hollywood celebrity? You have to know the five main male body shapes and which one you are to gauge your chances of looking good in a tee.
If you're a stout or relatively large man, you're probably aware of the extra weight in your midsection. A tight-fitting T-shirt won't hide this very well. If you're on the skinny side, a T-shirt might accentuate the leanness.
Nail The Fit
Fit is the most important part of the Style Pyramid. Everything builds off of this.
A good T-shirt fit requires two things:
- It must conform to your body shape.
- It mustn't cause discomfort or restrict freedom of movement.

V Neck Or Crew Neck?
Which is best?
V-necks look best on fitter men. The deep cut emphasizes and shows off a built-up chest. A V-neck creates the allusion of height and balances out a short neck or narrow face.
Crew necks are a better option for men with a thinner frame. This style doesn't expose your neck as much, they draw less attention to your upper torso, which is good if you haven't been to the gym in a while.
 Select The RIGHT Fabric
Fabric is a main factor in determining the quality of a tee. If you want to look amazing in a Tee, its material has to be awesome. Two Tees may be identical in design and color, but the one with better fabric will outperform the other by a wide margin.
