Some of you may be surprised to know this but not all fitted shirts are the same. Even I was unaware for a long time! But courtesy of Tapered, we know that most fitted shirts can be categorized as fitted or slim fitted. Let's take a look at some examples!
Starting with the regular fitted shirt, this is what most people will wear. Regular fitted shirts are meant to be tight while still providing comfort to those who wear them. There is a lot of room in the arm holes to provide the needed comfort. These types of shirts are better fitted for athletes. Below is what your usual fitted shirt would look like.
Now let's move on to the slim fit! The slim fit as the name would imply is a type of fitted shirt that people with slim figures tend to wear. This is also the shirt that those with a muscular figure will tend to wear as well. The key difference between a regular fitted shirt and a slim fit is that the slim fit is much tighter around the arms. As mentioned on The Fashionisto, one of the benefits of this shirt is for aesthetic purposes for slim and muscular people to feel and look bigger. As someone on the slimmer side, this is the type of shirt I would wear.
Now that you know the difference, which fitted shirt is right for you? Be sure to leave a comment down below! You can find both of these shirts on Lyst at lyst.com.
