Dress Shirt Waist

The dress shirt waist should always be fitted or slim depending on your body type. Even heavier guys should have their dress shirt waists tapered to provide a fitted men's dress shirt , otherwise the dress would make a heavier man look even heavier and loose fit dress shirts are just sloppy in general.

Slimmer guys should get a really tapered waist which makes for a slim fit dress shirt. The purpose of buying dress shirts that are slim fit for skinner guys (but not super skinny) is to ensure that the dress shirt doesn’t balloon out if it is tucked into pants, and that the dress shirt isn’t eating you whole if you have it untucked.

The proper fitting dress shirt waist is something most men do not appreciate but would if they knew that they could get a dress shirt with a waist cut specifically for them. Many men buy ready-made dress shirts which are usually an awful cut, so they are just used to awful fitting men’s dress shirt. But you can co-create your own custom dress shirts and get the waist tapered as you like for a nice fit, or a slim fit.
