In order for you to look the best in your t-shirt, you want to find the most flattering length and style. There are so many styles available these days that it’s easy to find one that looks great on you. Here are some tips for finding just the right style of t-shirt.

Cropped t-shirts can vary in length, but generally they expose the wearer’s belly. They’re not designed to be tucked in. Cropped t-shirts can have any length of sleeve—from sleeveless or halter tops to long-sleeved. They’re definitely a style for more casual wear. In fact, many schools and offices have banned cropped t-shirts. And because they’re so revealing, they’re best for the young—or young at heart—to wear.

T-shirts that hit at the hip are more versatile and flattering. They can be worn untucked and still look neat. If the belly, hips, or behind are problem areas for you, you want to make sure that the t-shirt doesn’t emphasize what you want to hide. They can be dressed up or down for many different situations.

A tunic t-shirt can be a very stylish look. This style works especially well over a short skirt or slim-fitting pants. Tunic t-shirts can’t be tucked in without looking bulky. They’re left untucked to keep a sleek appearance. They’re sometimes made with shirttail hems to give the style more flair. Tunic tops go over the hips and cover a lot of problem areas. On those with thinner figures, they’re not so flattering.

When you look at different styles of t-shirts, you can also consider the sleeve lengths. Sleeveless t-shirts such as tank tops are good for athletic, warm weather, and casual wear. Some sleeveless tees that are made from a finer fabric and have a more conservative cut that are suitable for office wear.

Short-sleeved shirts are the most classic style of t-shirt. There’s a reason for that – they work in so many different settings and situations. This style of t-shirt can be worn as a layering piece under a blazer or sweater in cooler weather. It can also be worn on its own in warmer weather or for athletic wear.

If you’re self-conscious about your upper arms, you can go with a three-quarter length t-shirt. In recent years the three-quarter length has become a very popular style, and with good reason. It’s such a versatile style that offers enough coverage for office wear or conservative situations, but has a fresh, fun look, and keeps you cooler than a long-sleeved shirt.

Long-sleeved t-shirts can be an important piece in a cool-weather wardrobe. They offer maximum arm coverage for conservative settings or for when you need to stay warm. A very popular look these days is to layer a short-sleeved t-shirt over a long sleeved t-shirt. Some long-sleeved t-shirts made from finer knit fabrics with fun details such as a ruffled hem or neckline work well for dressier or office wear.

It’s important to build a wardrobe of t-shirts with styles that suit many different situations. As you can see, there are so many lengths and sleeve types to choose from, that choosing the t-shirt styles that fit your lifestyle can be fun and easy!
