Buying men's dress shirts online can be a gamble. "Will it fit?" The secret to winning every time? Knowing your measurements. Grab a soft measuring tape and follow these three steps.
-
Neck: Wrap the tape around the base of your neck where your collar sits. Leave room for two fingers to fit comfortably. That's your neck size (e.g., 15.5", 16").
-
Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms, and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape level.
-
Sleeve: This is a two-parter. Start at the center back of your neck, run the tape over your shoulder, and down your arm to your wrist bone. This gives you the full sleeve length.
Why This Matters: Most online stores have a detailed size guide. When you know your numbers, you can match them to the brand's specific chart for a slim, modern, or classic fit. No more returns, no more frustration. Just a perfect shirt, delivered.
