Hello Everyone,
This is my first post in a forum ever... But I have doubts about a shirt I have -Actually are several, but are quite similar in size and I could extrapolate your answers to several of them-.
So the point is I like to wear fit shirts in a casual way. My body allows it as i´m slim and some day will be athletic...

My worries are:
-Is this shirt way too short or I can get away with it?
-Is my shirt too tight?

There are two things I wouldn´t like to look like: A stylishless wierd guy or a gaysh man -I wouldn´t mind if I was but it is not the case-. I love to wear slim fit shirts and I´m going to continue wearing them but sometimes I don´t know if I´m loosing perspective.
I hate to blurry my face and that so I put these silly faces but my post is serious and I need serious answers!
Just one more thing my postures are may look forced in some of the pics: it is to show wheter the tension of the shirt make it look snuggish or not.







As I was saying, I´m posting some pics for you to check and give me an answer. I´m sorry but I feel quite shy about showing my face and all that. Another thing for u to know, I´m from europe where maybe things are different but I would really apreciate your opinions.

Thanx,
Nimrod

I'm a new guy around here but here goes.

Wear darker jeans, tuck the shirt in, get a nice belt and your sleeves are too long.

If you are going untucked, wear darker jeans and some really nice shoes. No sneakers.

Mostly your sleeves are too long.

Also looks kind of tight across your upper back.

This shirt is a dress shirt, not a casual button down so you will have to tuck it in and wear with slacks and Oxfords. It may be short for a shirt you tuck in.

Other than that, fit looks fine from what I can tell.

I analyzed that last post and I have to say I agree with analyzethat, you should definitely tuck in the shirt, but otherwise the fit is fine. If you feel it is too tight maybe you should get a looser cut.
