Mans shirt size/fit question

Always Be Closing

Hi guys

I'm a tight shirt tucked in and jeans type of guy, rarely if EVER wear slacks or suit trousers.

I'm a 15.5 fit in a shirt - tend to leave a few buttons open at the top- slim fit shirt always- have a flat tummy but quite a broad and protruding chest.

Start a new job on Monday which is shirt and slacks dress code- problem I'm having is I won't be able to wear my shirt as low so when I button it up, it's noticeable that its a tight fit on my chest as the buttons dont close easily - fits fine on my waist and tummy.

If I go up to a 16 fit its gonna be too baggy on my arms and the shirt will ride up and out when I took it into my trousers and won't be a good look


Should I switch to regular instead of slim fit?



Any help appreciated

You’re probably better off going up to a regular fit, or perhaps “tailored”. A 16 in a tailored fit, depending on the store, might do the job. Every store fits their shirts differently tbh.

Best thing to do is honestly go into somewhere like debenhams and try on a few different fits and see what works best. If it’s just for work then grab 5 or 6 in that fit and you only have to wear them on the clock.

Watch out though, Debenhams will only allow you to try on already opened shirts. They won't open one specifically for you.

Tailored fit is probably your best option here will be a slightly more relaxed fit but still relatively snug.
