Slim fit vs normal fit shirts

I only have "slim-fit" dress shirts. That is because I'm a "slim" guy haha. It's kinda funny because I have never tried the "normal" fit dress shirts yet . That's because every time I go to stores to buy shirts, the store associates just direct me to area where they have slim fit shirts.

Definitely "Slim-Fit" because a normal cut feels baggy and boxy. In a business and casual environment, looking sharply dressed helps for plenty of reasons. Having a shirt that fits closely to one's body is of prime importance too.

Now, there could be variance between "Normal" and "Slim-Fit", but I do suppose different brands have their own definition and cut. Without going to the tailor, or down the MTM route, a "Slim-Fit" shirt is a safer choice when it comes to acquiring a better tailored-fit, but to be confused with "Tailored-Fit".

I'm still a little stocky, yet slim fit shirts will usually fit better than regular cut. Regular cut is just WAY too baggy...

Even on very skinny people, a slim fit will look better as it will still be a little baggy without going overboard.

There's no right or wrong answer here.

If you are a bigger guy, slim fit isn't going to work.

I wear slim fit in most styles because they provide a more fitted look. Take the Brooks Brothers dress shirt for example. If I wore a regular it would look bulky and like I've got extreme love handles after tucking in the excess fabric - not cool. But, when I put on a slim fit Brooks Brothers shirt, it's more fitted and complimentary to my body style.

So again, there's no right or wrong answer here. If you want the fitted look start with slim fit. If you put it on and feel like you're about to do a Hulk Hogan shirt rip... regular fit is for you.
