How slim shirts should be? Rhetorical question.

[the_sulks]

Hi, I just wonder, where's the line that divides a slim or extra-slim shirt from an inappropriate too tight off-size shirt? How do you decide whether it's okay to buy the particular slim cut or you should give up the idea as it looks off-size? Shots are welcomed. As for me, I have a shirt that fits me the way it looks on the pic below (the picture is not mine): http://www.sageclothing.co.uk/Produc...id-190787.aspx Sometimes I think it's too tight, sometimes I assume it's okay. Gee. It drives me bonkers.

There shouldn't be any pulling when you're in a relaxed & upright position.

Are your sure that rule is suitable for extra-slim?

Extra slim shirts are for extra slim people. If there is pulling, then it is too tight. Fact.

I understand it's a build thing/personal comfort preference, but that picture is a little too tight for my taste.

I feel like most women would find the cut of that shirt unappealingly similar to their own dresses, blouses, etc.

The taper looks like that of a corset!

Not only should there be no pulling when you're standing. You should also be able to sit in it.

If you're skinny enough to pull it off, why not? My bigger concern is over how many folks out there have no business wearing slim-fitting shirts, but do so anyway. If you look like a stuffed sausage in a cotton casing, your shirt is too tight. If I can see your love handles' straining against the fabric of your shirt, your shirt is too tight. And you don't look good.

Ok, guys. I've just done some shots of mine with the slim shirt on. Here it is:

I'm definitely able to sit yet I feel some pressure on my chest no matter if I stand or sit.

+1 You want a V, not hourglass shape. That shirt you wearing looks fine imo.

Obvious troll is obvious, no doubt, but I'll bite. You're not slim. That shirt is too slim for your body.

How can you conclude with that he's a troll? Personally I think it's a bit too tight in the chest and stomach area, size up.

He not just standing too erect?
