Choosing between an oversized and a regular fit t-shirt comes down to how you want the shirt to sit on your body. Here is a simple way to decide, and how to pick the right size in each.
What is a regular fit t-shirt?
A regular fit follows the shape of your body without clinging. The shoulder seam sits at the edge of your shoulder, the sleeves end around the middle of your upper arm, and the hem falls near the hip. It works well for work, travel and layering.
What is an oversized t-shirt?
An oversized t-shirt is cut wider through the chest and body, with a dropped shoulder and longer sleeves. It gives a relaxed, easy look and feels cool in humid weather because air moves around it.
Which one should you choose?
- Choose regular fit if you like a clean, neat shape, plan to tuck it in, or wear it under a jacket or overshirt.
- Choose oversized if you want comfort first, like a relaxed street look, and prefer to wear your t-shirt loose.
How to pick your size
- Take a t-shirt you already like and lay it flat.
- Measure across the chest from underarm to underarm, and from the collar seam to the hem.
- Compare those numbers with the size options on the product page.
- For a regular fit, choose the size that matches. For an oversized fit, choose your usual size for a roomy look, or one size down for a slightly closer fit.
Most Karupp Wear pieces come in sizes from XS to XL, and the sizes can differ from item to item, so always check the options on the product page.
