Choosing a shirt cut
There is no doubt that the shirt is the ultimate fashion accessory par excellence. There are, however, some conditions for this to remain true. Choose your shirt with taste - because yes, there are shirts that are of dubious taste! - choose a shirt matching the clothes that are ready to wear with, and finally choose a shirt with a good cut.
We need here to clarify our point. If there are shirts more or less well cut, the fact remains that a good cut is above all a cut that suits your body. It is therefore, in the first place, to be aware of its morphology and to decide, from these data, which cut to choose.
How to define one's morphology?
To be corpulent or not to be, that could be the question. If you are slender, you can choose to wear a slim-fit shirt, slim fit or a shirt straight cut. If you are very muscular, or if you have some curves and a little overweight, then it is the right shirt you will need to adopt. Finally, if you are strong and have belly, it is then to the big shirt that will turn you.
In these three cases, there are some indisputable clues that will allow you to identify if your shirt fits you well, if its size is the right one, if its cut suits you. First, once your shirt is over, you feel comfortable. If it causes you some embarrassment, then it is necessary to opt for another model, another cut, or even another size. So much for the general. Go now for the details.
Clues that do not deceive!
A good clue as to whether your shirt fits you well is at the buttoning. Indeed, if the buttons that hold between them the two sides of your shirt are under tension, then the shirt is too small or the cut too arched. In the same way, if your shirt is too tight and you feel the effect of this tension, for example under the arms or the back, you can be sure that you have to opt for a larger size.
The seams at the top left and right, connecting the sleeves to the body of the shirt, should be at the junction between the arm and the shoulder, at the location where the right angle is formed. If the seam is too high on your shoulder, then no doubt, the shirt is too small. If the seam is on the side of the arm, then this time the shirt is too big. In the first case, it is unacceptable. You will never be at ease in a shirt that is too small. In the second case, it can happen, provided that it is an informal shirt, street-wear type, that you wear casually, with nothing on top and rolled up sleeves. But if it is a dress shirt, then, the floating effect generated will be simply inelegant and you will have to opt for a smaller size.
The collar is also a good indicator when it comes to a dress shirt, especially if one is destined to wear it with a tie. When the collar is closed to the last button, it must be close to your neck, without clasping it. To do this, you need to be able to move between one and two fingers in the space between your buttoned collar and your skin. If the collar is looser than this, then the shirt will be inelegant worn with a tie and if it is tighter than that, it will generate a very uncomfortable feeling of strangulation.
The length of the sleeves is also an important criterion that will allow you to define whether or not your shirt is your size. The sleeves of your shirt should cover your entire wrist and stop just above your palms. If the sleeves are too short, again, it is unacceptable and your shirt will be as uncomfortable as unseemly. If the sleeves are slightly too long, you can settle for it, provided that it is a shirt to wear on informal occasions and why not, sleeves rolled up, but in any case if you are looking for a dress shirt . It should be noted that, worn under a suit jacket, the sleeves of your shirt should not exceed more than one centimeter of the sleeves of your jacket.
Loose cut, straight cut and fitted cut, how to choose?
At Webmenshirts.com you have the choice between three different types of cuts: the big cut, the straight cut and finally, the fitted cut.
The big cut is, as its name indicates, intended for men big and strong, those who are overweight, roundness or belly. It is a loose fit that does not mold, thin, and allows fat men to feel at ease in all circumstances. Specialized for ten years in the manufacture and sale of shirt on the Internet, ChemiseWeb.com is also specialized in the large shirt and offers more than one hundred models and shirts and long shirts to the highest quality and the right price.
The straight cut is the classic cut par excellence. It is not worn close to the body and will be perfectly adapted to men with a muscular torso, broad shoulders, or having some fatness or handles of love. That said, it can also be worn by thin men. The straight cut shirt will be worn in all circumstances, both on jeans or canvas pants under a suit. In order to respect the sartorial harmony, we will take care not to wear it with skinny fit clothes, but rather with classic cut or slim fit clothes if we want to create a happy contrast.
The slim fit shirt is more modern. She follows the line of the torso. It is tightened at the waist, adjusted at the level of the sleeves and generally surmounted by a collar rather small than the straight shirt. The slim-fit shirt is recognizable by the fact that it often has two vertical seams that allow the fabric to be tightened at the back. It is intended for slender men and will not suit men with a large body, or even those who have a little overweight. The slim fit shirt is probably the most fashionable model at the moment. But to be the most beautiful effect, it must be worn on a slim jeans or under a fitted outfit. The fitted shirt offers a more youthful and dynamic look than the straight cut. That said, we must be careful not to choose his slim fit shirt too small. Cintrée does not mean slinky! Otherwise beware of fake fashions!
If you make a mistake, just ask for an exchange
And since we are talking about missteps, it is possible that, despite our advice, you are mistaken in size or shirt cut by buying one from us. Indeed, the purchase of clothing on the internet offers many advantages, but also a disadvantage, that of not being able to try what one buys. And as everyone knows, the size grids are not quite similar from one ready-to-wear manufacturer to another. Some brands cut big, others less. However, differences in size from one brand to another are never very important. Therefore, before making a first purchase of clothing on the internet, we advise you to look in your wardrobe the sizes that are indicated on your shirts. Logically, there should not be a gap of more than one size between all your shirts, whatever the brand. You will be able to define the size of the shirt that you are about to buy online. If despite this precaution, it turns out to be fitting - which obviously can only be done after receipt of your order - that the shirt you bought is too big or too small, you can then ask that you proceed to an exchange. To do so, simply go to our website, log in to your account, go to the "My purchases" and then click on "Request return or exchange". You will then tick the box "I wish to make an exchange" then you will inform the new reference chosen and the desired size. Upon receipt of your return we will check the availability of the item in the desired size and we will send you your exchange order. The return shipping fees will then be offered. So, there is no fear to have when ordering on ChemiseWeb.com. Moreover, this error in the size will be able to occur only once, if however it had to happen ... Indeed, ChemiseWeb.com does not modify its cuts, nor its grid of sizes. So you just have to recommend any other shirt from our catalog in your usual size to make sure you do not go wrong.
The cut of women's shirts
At ChemiseWeb.com, we specialize in the men's shirt, without neglecting the women's shirt. We design two collections of women's shirts per year. We offer only one type of cut, in this case arched, and our size scale is, classically, from 34 to 46. Our women's shirts being systematically fitted with arched cuts will not be suitable for women with overweight. On the other hand, they are perfectly adapted to women with strong breasts. Because we offer both women's shirts with a simple button or a double button. Women's double-breasted shirts are especially for women with generous bosoms. Indeed, the double buttoning of the shirt will allow it to never yawn under the pressure of the chest. The double-breasted women's shirt will therefore be impeccably dressed in all circumstances.
