Small (S)

Medium (M)

The most common size for T-shirts in India is medium (M). Men with a chest measurement of 36-38 inches are advised to wear this size. For guys who want a comfortable fit that is neither too tight nor too loose, this M size in number T-shirt is ideal. 

Large (L)

The large L size in number is the better option if you want a loose and comfy fit. Men with a chest measurement between 40 and 42 inches are suggested to wear this L size in number. For individuals who like a more laid-back and casual style, the big L size in number T-shirt is ideal. 

Extra Large (XL)

The extra large XL size t-shirt is the ideal choice for those with a bigger physique. It is advised that males with chest sizes between 42 and 44 inches choose to wear this XL size t-shirt. The XL size is excellent for people who like to seem at ease without appearing baggy.

Size/Tightness:

The perfect T-shirt for men should not be too tight or too loose. It should give you a good fit so that it doesn’t look unflattering or too tight. Therefore, it is important to have your measurements on hand to tally it up with our t-shirt size chart for males in India. You can find this chart right next to the t-shirt sizes titled ‘Best Fit’.

Shoulder Seams:

The seams of the shoulders are one of the best ways you can tell how well a t-shirt fits. Ideally, the seams should reach the end of your shoulders and if they extend further down, then it’s too big, and if they don’t reach the end of your shoulders, the t-shirt is too small.

Sleeves:

The sleeves of a T-shirt should extend down your upper arm. Hence, if you’re tall, the sleeves you go for might have to be longer to look more proportional to your body type.

Length:

The hem of your t-shirts should not fall anywhere above your hips, or they’re small. Your waistband should be covered or even extend a few inches past that.

Shape:

The shape of t-shirts is dependent on the quality. Some T-shirts hang loose (like a box) which will make them look unattractive. Opt for high-quality men’s t-shirts that are good for your body type and avoid low-grade quality tees.

You should still be aware of several typical size errors even if you obtain exact measurements of yourself. Here are some points to remember: 

1. Assuming that your size is the same for every brand is not a good choice. Always prefer the size chart for any brand you are considering.
2. Making a wise guess about your size is not a good idea. Measure yourself every time to be sure you’re receiving the appropriate size.
3. Certain T-shirts may experience some shrinkage after the first wash. It may be a good idea to size bigger if you’re between sizes.
