We know the challenges that come with finding the best-fitting black T-shirt to match your physique.  Â
Buying off-the-rack T-shirts doesn’t guarantee the comfort and flexibility your workouts demand. On top of that, not every gym-goer wants to use gym wear to get a good muscle fit. That’s where we come in. TAILORED ATHLETE offers the very best in comfortable muscle wear built for any occasion.
We've prepared a breakdown of everything you need to know to add a stylish black T-shirt to your wardrobe. We’ll also go over what variation of T-shirt best suits your style!Â
What this article covers:
From men's muscle t-shirts to tuxedos, your outfit goes a long way towards helping you to look your best. The key is to find clothing that suits your figure and style. We know the value a fitted black T-shirt can bring to an outfit. To us, the all-purpose value of a black T-shirt comes down to the comfort and versatility it offers.
T-shirts are associated with a loose, more casual attitude. However, a well-fitted T-shirt, especially in black, brings the same casual flair with a nod toward formality. A good T-shirt offers a solid balance between comfort and style that look and feels appropriate for any event.
In terms of comfort, the perfect fitted T-shirt should hug your body in a flattering way that highlights your frame. As a bonus for those with a more muscular build, form-fitting T-shirts look especially attractive. This helps create a sense of sophistication without risking overdressing or coming across as flashy.
On top of the comfort factor that makes T-shirts perfect for any occasion, a black T-shirt makes for an excellent style choice. No matter the dress code, a well-fitting black T-shirt pairs nicely with just about anything in your closet. This works because of the balance the T-shirt strikes between smart and casual.
If you’re going for a smart-casual look, pairing a black T-shirt with a pair of fitted jeans creates a simple but classy look. If you need an outfit for something more formal, a suit jacket goes perfectly with a fitted black T-shirt.
We believe that finding the right fitted T-shirt for your specific needs is important and requires care. If you want to add a fitted black T-shirt to your wardrobe, there are a few things to consider. These factors are crucial to helping you make a more informed purchase and choosing the right style for you.
When choosing a high-quality T-shirt, the fabric used is perhaps the most important consideration. Your T-shirt needs to stay fresh as you go through your day-to-day routines. This means finding a breathable fabric to reduce sweating and excess odor. This helps you feel more comfortable for longer training sessions.
Finding a soft, breathable material with a 4-way stretch is a must. Your T-shirt needs to hold up against strenuous activity without losing shape or fraying. If you’re looking to exercise, it’s also important to choose a moisture-wicking fabric to avoid sweat lingering on your skin. This helps you look and feel dry even during the most intense workouts.
TAILORED ATHLETE white t-shirts offer comfort and function with high-quality cotton materials that won’t get in the way of your workout.
The size and fit of your T-shirt need to complement the shape of your body and musculature. While you might think that any tight-fitting shirt would do, there’s more to consider. The ideal T-shirt is specifically shaped around your muscles. TAILORED ATHLETE’s range of T-shirts showcases your body without just relying on a tight fit.
Incorrect sizing leaves the shirt looking baggy and failing to capture the clean-cut aesthetic. An ideal T-shirt should have an almost tailored fit to the body regardless of your body type.
Unfortunately, many larger men struggle to find appropriately sized T-shirts in their local clothing stores. TAILORED ATHLETE offers a wide range of sizes to fit and showcase all body and muscle shapes. Our designs avoid the usual issues of excess fabric or the unflattering tent effect common with T-shirts.
The versatility of fitted black T-shirts is as much about comfort as it is about shape. That’s why considering the length of the T-shirt is important. You want your T-shirt to keep a slim, sharp look no matter what activity you’re doing.
The best way to ensure this is to check that the shirt’s hem extends past your beltline. This avoids wardrobe malfunctions that could cause the shirt to ride up or get stretched during strenuous activity.
If you want a T-shirt that highlights all the hard work you’ve put into your body, slim-fit shirts may seem appealing. While they definitely offer a flattering silhouette, they’re not the most comfortable design out there.
One of the most common issues slim-fit shirts have is that they aren’t built to stretch. If you’re someone who regularly works out and wants to show off your physique, stretch is essential. Not just for comfort, but because it helps the shirt fit as you continue to work on your body.
That’s why TAILORED ATHLETE shirts use high-quality, 4-way stretch cotton for our designs. It’s that attention to detail that makes our T-shirt designs stay timeless and stylish. We’re confident that serious athletes will feel and appreciate the difference in comfort that our shirts offer.
Once you’ve got an idea of the criteria for the T-shirt you’re looking for, you need to decide what T-shirt best suits your needs. Here’s a handful of some of our best-fitting black T-shirt designs so you can see which look best suits you.
If you’ve got a muscular build, you might be tempted to get a slim-fit shirt to show off your physique. As mentioned, the problem with that approach is that slim-fit shirts don’t offer the stretch you’ll need for working out.
Made using super-soft, machine-washable cotton, the TAILORED ATHLETE Muscle Fit T-shirt is our most iconic design. In pursuit of a True Muscle Fit, we’ve taken great care to tighten the fit wherever we could. This T-shirt offers a 4-way stretch and is one of the best shirts for big arms.
Whether you’re planning a serious workout or a dinner date, you’ll look your best in this top-quality design. With its specific focus on comfort and minimalist design, this is a must-have for any serious athlete.
The best-fitting V-neck T-shirts have always done a great job of showcasing your body in a tasteful and subtle way. That’s the focus of our Essential V-Neck T-shirt, and we’re proud of the result. It’s easy to see the benefits of the less flashy approach mixed with a tailored and specialized feel.
The low cut of the neckline draws attention to your build, helping highlight your figure. This is one of our best T-shirts with tight sleeves and offers an overall slimmer feel.
The tighter fit around your waist creates an overall slimmer appearance, benefiting those with a leaner build. It’s hard for leaner men to find shirts that adequately flatter their build without just fitting tightly. The Essential V-Neck T-shirt creates a slimmer frame without compromising on muscle definition. The more subtle style of this shirt also means it pairs nicely with a jacket or coat.
For a more understated sense of style that still highlights your physique, you can’t do much better than this. We recommend this for athletes with a swimmer’s build for the best overall fit.
Sometimes, simpler is better. For those looking for a more casual look, the Everyday Henley T-shirt offers the best low-key design. While it still offers a tighter fit than the competition, this shirt focuses less on highlighting your physique. Instead, the focus is placed on creating the most comfortable casual fit possible.
The button-up neckline also allows for an even more comfortable feel on the body without sacrificing the slim silhouette. This makes the Everyday Henley T-shirt one of the best shirts for tall, athletic guys. If you’re looking for a design that complements your figure without drawing attention, this is the design for you.
For those with an eye for fashion, theHigh Neck T-shirt offers an excellent addition to your more casual wardrobe. The specialized stretch cotton fabric gives this T-shirt a totally slim look that almost feels like a second skin. This is another of ourbest shirts for tall, athletic guys looking to show off their height.
To get the most out of this unique design, pair it with an open jacket or blazer to avoid covering the neckline. Add in a casual pair of jeans and you’re guaranteed to have one of the most stylish looks around.
By now, we’re confident you can see the difference our approach to T-shirt design makes. Working out what shirt best suits your physique and day-to-day lifestyle is no easy feat. We pride ourselves on our design philosophy, and we hope you’ve found a design that spoke to you.
We’re looking forward to seeing you wear one of our designs with confidence!
