www.realmenrealstyle.com/t-sh... - Secrets To Look GREAT In A T-Shirt
Wearing T-shirts to the gym or when you are performing house chores is fine. But wearing T-shirts to social events or to work is a no-no, especially when the shirt is too big and made from a shoddy fabric advertising the company who gave it to you a decade ago. If you do wear a T-shirt, make sure it's new, clean, close-fitted and in a solid, dark color (although a crisp white T-shirt is a classic if of good quality!).

So basically: don't wear T shirts if you're not sexy. I agree.
Crumbusto Haha! You can put it that way...
When you're in shape with a decent build, you can wear just about anything. When you're a bit out of shape, it's hard to pull off almost anything.
Jason Downs yes! but you can still dress sharp no matter what your body size is. :)
as I have pointed out above, you are totally right and more than that. If you have a "decent build" then t shirt CAN NOT FIT YOU because your shulders are in proportion far broader than your waistline so you must buy an oversized t shirt and look fat, it is math not opinion. You can not tailor cut a t shirt, you tailor a shirt. I have fitness model body proportions on 1.89 cm and I CAN NOT BUY t-shirts, it is impossible. Thanks for your work and good advice thus.
@@andreainzaghi7373 I think the only way to pull off a t-shirt is a well built muscular guy wearing a muscle fit shirt or a young guy with a skinny or medium build and going 2-3 sizes too big and exaggeration everything and layering it. Otherwise I agree no matter the body type or age a regular t-shirt flatters almost nobody
'this is a great t shirt'
is it? is it really?
Man Balock 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clearly not great for him, look at the "fit" around the neck.
I know this video is seven years old but that shirt looks like a 2006 flea market bootleg Ed Hardy shirt. It has the typical Chinese eBay design characteristic of cheap looking material and uneven neck hem. I assumed incorrectly at first that this was going to serve as an example of the type of T-shirt to avoid.
Why you gotta go Mean Girls on the man?
@@CorkKNIFE I mean it's pretty decent collar not flimsy but the point of the video is that the t shirt is not viable; he's mostly tlaking about fit
I never thought I'd see him in a normal T-shirt
+Jonathan Avery haha :)
All these comments about losing weight and lifting weights are pointless. He is not here to advice the abercrombie and fitch models among us. This guy is here to dress you, real people with common bodies, not to tell you to hit the gym. He accurately presents his material to that end. He is here to help what you are now, not what you could be. He doesn't judge, and he knows that everyone' body goes through changes in their lives.
Excellent point, thank you.
exaclty, besides it is not true that if you have a perfect body t shirts fit you, it is in fact THE OPPOSITE. . I have a fitness model body on 1.89 cm and t shirt look like rubbish precisely if you have a perfect body and I am gonna explain the reason: if you have a perferct male body SHOULDERS are larger than waistline in proportion, so you are forced to buy an oversized t shirt and look fat. I just must resort to the tailor and have my shirts adapted. You can not tailor cut a t shirt. If YOU ARE FAT OR YOU HAVE SMALL SHOULDERS than t shirts are suitable.
“Every bodies body goes through changes in life” you sound like the body positive fat women that shame men for rejecting them. Stop eating junk food. Make that change
Antonio, you made a very strong case on an issue that a lot of men take for granted...that somehow a tee shirt is acceptable as smart casual wear and we can all get away with it. Well done. Liked and subscribed.
sodubairob Thank you :)
Real Men Real Style Yes you do make a good point! Thanks.
rockshot100 I agree 100%, a nice guy across the street, tall but not that good of shape. He looks terrible in a T-shirt, I wish I could tell him! Plus they look all stretched out. And you are so right about the gut, it only makes it look worse.
If I could offer a tip: I hate polo or golf shirts for the same reason. And guys, if nothing else, LOOSE the gut! Skinny arms and legs and a big gut just doesn't look "healthful", not as in sick, but just inactive and unfit. The little dress thing around the waist looks like hell.
I usually get a shirt with a big neckhole opening. And HAS side seams. So if even I have a little bit of a gut, I still take in the shirt at least 4" so that it fits tighter around the waist. And if I have to, take the arms in too, so it doesn't look like 2 points with arms hanging out.
This takes me about 5 minutes to do, but does make a huge difference.
Even an Adonis would look like shit in a t-shirt because the waist is going to be too big! And as mentioned, the guy in the vid doesn't look good at all in a t-shirt either.
I can say, if you have really big almost football pad delts, and an aesthetic v-taper body, t-shirts will look good on you regardless. So go lift, BOYS.
+Raymond Coolidge Clothes you wear will always, always look better on men if they are built good, doesnt matter what clothes they are, So hear this guy and go LIFT.
+Raymond Coolidge Don't forget the neck and traps, a thick wrestlers neck and some oly-lifter traps looks straight beastly in a t-shirt
Very important. Traps, delts and neck to look formidible in a t-shirt. Well developed forearms take it up 3 levels.
yup
+Raymond Coolidge Preach!
5 years ago I was jogging in Kyiv, Ukraine. Saw an older man get hit by a car - he's laying there in shock with about 5-7 people just looking at him. Didn't have a sports jacket - but I did have a sweatshirt and covered his torso and slightly elevated his legs speaking to him until th ambulance arrived.
"Hey tshirts dont fit you!"
"But here is a link so you can buy some" lol
David Nuno undershirts and shirts for working/exercising are still a necessity
+Stonehengoo ""Hey most men shouldn't wear a t-shirt, but I got this one from my friends over at Wallies because it fits me perfectly because I'm in the 1% to 2% exception list."

HAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAA
GOOD 1
All you needed to say was don't wear T-shirt unless you're in shape that's all.
+Francois Alwyn Venter You clearly failed to read the title. Ask your mummy what "why" means.
+Francois Alwyn Venter The width of your clavicles is genetic, so you can't narrow it down to being "in shape"
no , sorry, it is the opposite. I have a fitness model body on 1.89 cm and t shirt look like rubbish precisely if you have a perfect body and I am gonna explain the reason: if you have a perferct male body SHOULDERS are larger than waistline in proportion, so you are forced to buy an oversized t shirt and look fat.

exactly......what a stupid video
I'm sorry but that shirt is so tacky
It's about confidence too. I am a t shirt and jeans kind of a guy. Always have been, probably always will be. So whatever you wear, own it. I judge a person based on their stature and confidence more than how they dress.
Micah Murray good point there!
***** Any clothes look better if you have a decent build.
I think you have bad print on your T-shirt, seriously.
You can't exactly sit at the beach in a jacket though can you?
Kurt Daluege unless you're selling any watches, you can.

Yes you can! In Japan. ;)
you buy an hawaiian shirt, Magnun PI or MIAMI VICE style.
You are welcome and thanks for the input!
There's already enough weak-minded men in the world.
"Real Men" aren't concerned with "Can I ?", but rather "I am."
Woo hoo! Go, brother!
That’s lame. Some men don’t have an eye for aesthetics but want to dress well. That’s not weak minded. Men that don’t care about how they look are weak minded. And most intelligent men understand that confidence is earned.
Growing up I placed so much emphasis on aesthetics. Only to realize most good people don't care about that.
I think it depends on the shirt itself. If it is well built, match the colour and pattern on your body shape, then it is not gonna be a problem. Also, I agree on your statement that if we have a great body shape, Tee shirt is a great choice, especially for casual.
Interesting point, thanks for sharing!
Antonio showing he is wise.... again. Too bad most people won't see it and take his sage advice.
"You wouldn't want a present wrapped up like trash." Thanks man...
If you leave your shirt untucked, it could hide the love handles.
Most men wear t-shirts because they are comfortable, cheap, and easy to wash.
As a guy with more weight around the middle and wider shoulders, you completely sold me on the sport jacket concept.
ChaoticDynasty314 Awesome!
This dude belongs in the 80's with his style tips. I wear what the hell I want to wear! Jeans, Tshirt, Hoodies are my only attire for work and life in general - complemented by green flat trainers.
James Butler why watch the video??
and you aren't a CEO or anyone important lol
nope, just a lowly managing director of my own business!
James Peirson dude, watch your grammar :D
Yeah, u right sometimes is relaxing at home and stuff but diffinetly always good to go out in dress well
***** exactly! good point there
Yeah I couldn't see your shoulders with the plain t-shirt . . . Because you have a black t-shirt in a black background!!!!
For a moment there I thought a floating head was talking to me.
Lil Kim haha!
it feels so different when you watch Antonio's new videos and these older videos. I love new ones
Great Video! Thanks for all your info...
t-shirts look good on people with a decent chest and arms that can hug the sleeve of the T's...and obvious not having a gut that hangs past your belly...so in otherwords someone relatively fit...or very fit...
Yes exactly
nah i can't wear a jacket in miami, that's like asking for getting heat stroke and pass out on the street.
+Commander Erik go for breathable and light fabrics if it's hot in your area.
+Real Men Real Style What should guys with tits wear?
+Tony Montana bras?!
+Stelios Papayiannis I think I'd rather let my tits hang.
+Commander Erik Eh, I wear one here sometimes
When I read the title I was gonna come on here and call this shit out but you nailed it anyway. Gotta work out and be in shape to make a t-shirt look great.
Hey man thanks so much for making all these videos. I actually stumbled upon your channel watching a video about French cuff shirts. It was the one about how to tuck in your shirt and I automatically knew I would get great advice from watching your vids I feel like I'm going to grow into a more classy young man thank you very much man I appreciate it!!
the 70-85% you speak of can also get the V shape by working out and building lats traps pecs and delts and slimming down and practicing vacuum poses.... I think taking pride in your build should go hand in hand with taking pride in grooming and style.
Phibz FourZeroEight true!
the best motivator I have watched on youtube
ian angeles thank you sir!
Man i love your videos. This is one of the best channels i've ever encountered and i'm on RUclips since 2007.
Great video. Thanks for your service too.
i m quite fat so i liked your views on t shirt. i am really happy with your ideas. it was really worth watching you :)
+crazy69 07 Thanks!
Really glad I discovered this channel! Very useful information.👍
Subscribed! Husband's always asking me for advice. I have some garnered wisdom from sewing classes and general knowledge, but I feel way more equipped now watching your vids.
Marie Caravana great to hear that - thanks for watching my videos
I appreciate this commentary, the advice is sound and perhaps this is just your idea of real talk but a lot of this comes off as arrogance. I mean, you're right: most guys look less than stellar in T-Shirts but I think there's a better way of saying most of what you said here.
Barney Stinson approved this
No, a sport jacket isn't enough for Stinson, he would tell you to fuckin' suit up!
Abraham Hernandez he never uses the f word! Pluss this is not just about sport jackets, but also suits ;)
Hello Antonio, Thanks for the videos, you are really helping me out! Is hard for me deal with the transition to grow up man... And, I have a little problem, because I'm always going to hot places (like Rio de Janeiro) so no jakets for me! Do you have any tip?
Thanks Mr. Antonio! Great video.
When you think masculine you think hard and chiseled. Certain parts of women are supposed to be soft. a tshirt accentuates those.
Don't think he is saying "don't be fat, be slim",What he is saying is have increased muscular development and low body fat percentage and a tshirt will flatter your body. tshirts show every flaw. You have to be an adonis, and as he said at least 70-85% of us don't even come close, yet we still wear tshirts.
If you are doing hot dirty work in Florida, in the summer, and you are sweating, for God's sake wear a T-shirt. And if you don't have the build, don't take it off! That is MY style tip!
Thanks some helpful info in this video. I loved your advice about the rule of thirds and contrast.
Keep the good job! Take my like!
so focus on deceiving women by dressing a certain way and then disappoint when u get neked
+DesecratedReaper It's not deception. It's about giving importance to how you present yourself.
+DesecratedReaper KInda like wonder bras........every woman wears em....unless they have implants to hold their own.
+DesecratedReaper It's like, "Ah, shit. This girl's interested in me because of my kick-ass style. I don't work out, but I better bust my ass in the gym because this woman will be seeing me naked within the next few weeks."
yeah, basically the same thing women do with makeup, push ups, high heels, etc
+DesecratedReaper do you call this deceiving ? what do you call makeup then ??
so basically suits are for non alpha males to look like alpha males, because a true alpha can were a t-shirt or a tank top and still look alpha. Also I've noticed when muscular men wear suits off the rack they kinda look silly, it either looks to tight, or it looks like they are impersonating david burns in the "Once in a lifetime" video because the suit was cut for a fat guy. and when they do get a suit that looks good on them its a regular large suit with no padding and they still look less impressive than they would in a t-shirt..
Haha people like u u are used to wear jean u cant afford to pay 5k for a suit
*****
point i was making was when you have muscles you dont need a suit to look like a boss.
just like if a woman has a great figure she can wear a potato sack and look good in it.
He spent this video pointing out how suits create an optical illusion. so I'm just saying to save your money and do some pushups.
TheMortalez Hilarious!! Do some pushups...sad but true. I see this in the gym everyday, the groups of men who avoid the free weights like the plague but then complain that they are "genetically" thin.
You look like an alien
short sleeve dress shirt or long sleeve rolled up is far better than t shirts for me and im glad this video showed me this.
thanks Antonio, your vids are helping me learn lots.
You have come so far in your career, inspiring brother!
Great tips but no disrespect I dont think a t shirt fits you as good as you think.
Jeffrey Garay Haha! Thanks for the feedback! :)
i agree....
Clothes don't make me look good.................. I make clothes look good.
I fundamentally agree but I think there are some cases where a t shirt can still apply in a casual setting. What would be really cool is a way to hybridize casual and proper style.
Nicely put bro. right on!
A shirt and rolled up sleeves always works
not when u dont want to be a hipster or are u know... fat
Only works if you're muscular
Agreed.
blazier and tshirt is the mullet of clothing.
Great video. Some good insights.
Thank you, Antonio! I am surprised that I found this video so late. I happen to be a lanky guy. So t-shirts, especially the mass produced ones, have short sleeves and look bad on me. Yet most people don't understand when I explain this. Now I can point them to your video!
+PristinePerceptions Awesome! Glad it helped. :)
Basically what he's saying is, T-shirts are for dudes with a flat stomach...
Always, sometimes, never... you buttoned your middle button when you put on your jacket... tisk tisk. I do agree about the T-shirt thing though. I think T-shirts are for private use or on boats/at the beach. Collared shirts, Polo's especially, seam to be the best all around shirt if you want to be relaxed and not look like a slob. That's just my opinion though.
Brad Dunphy solid point
Antonio you are the man! your tips really make things change!
Lol I wore nothing but t shorts for three year but now that in starting to diversify my closet your vids really help
buffalo bison great to hear that
When I wear t-shirts, everyone wants to touch my arms :D ..so they aren´t a problem
Vagabund92 Haha! Good for you! :)
Skinny guys cant wear t shirts. we just cant.
Ganstas With Waifus Unless your carrying a skateboard lol
XD
Ganstas With Waifus I know the feeling
How about us fatties? :D
skinny guys look like sticks. fatties stretch paul walkers face if we wear a Fast and Furious Fan shirt....bumb
@TheIvanovich88 Hope this helped, then? Close-fit is always a good starting point -- and you'll be amazed how many shirts it automatically disqualifies, which helps narrow the choices down.
Good remarks, but what would you recommend as the substitute for tshirts in warm whether, since long sleeves or jackets aren't really practical then?
Sleeves gotta be hugging the guns
I disagree, I hate sport jackets, collar shirts and ties. I love t-shirts.
i love how much he is trying not to be insulting
may i know what kind of lapel it is on your left side above the pocket square? seen it on some jackets but i dont know what it's called. Thanks!!
I was going into this video with the preconceived notion that this guy was full of shit but some good points were brought up.
My personal build is pretty solid and I do workout so I think I fill a t-shirt quite well. I do disagree with blue collar people wearing something with a collar. I wear a t-shirt under my strapped coveralls at work and it makes me look pretty masculine I'd say. It gives me a farmers tan though, especially since I work outside, but a farmers tan is a badge of honor for the hard working laborer. :)
LobsterFusion that's great! :)
O.o damn i should make fashion videos.. I think i wore shirts and buzzed my hair down with a 2 guard like that too when i was 12.
You have the whitest name ever.
Austin Behn true story
Wow, this video made me think about t-shirts in a way I never had before. Honestly this is great information
George Patton thanks
dude, put your hands down
Callum vs- insert name He can't.
i must say, your wording in this video seems a bit callous, pompous, and without any thought to men who happen to have extra pounds on them. You shouldn't generalize that way because it makes you seem vain and unfeeling. You might as well have just come out and say, some T-shirts don't compliment mens body types because your too fat and you should workout and lose the weight." because thats how its coming across! also you spelled " COMPLEMENT" WRONG,as its spelled " COMPLIMENT." anyway just wanted to voice my opinion on such a vapid outlook. have a good day!!! and before you might think of saying, " oh you must be overweight", I'm not I'm 6'0 at 185...but i used to be overweight at 295 lbs.
+jbauer14 Complement is a different word than compliment.
Lol
It is truly sad that our society creates a perfect image of how a man should dress, act, emotional feel, and speak. This video just adds to the pressure that us young men MUST dress and be a certain way in order to be taken seriously in public. You refer to a man who is overweight and wearing a t-shirt as being "SICKLY".. seriously! What if that very same man were to save your life one day? Then would you still refer to those very men as being not-normal or irregular... to the point of caring a illness or disease. Kids are not growing up and having the ability to show their true identity because of men like you! I think that having followers on the internet just makes you feel the need to express your narcissistic and discrimitaive traits to others. You are not a god! Oh, and men who are reading this... you do not have to be shaped (muscular) like a roman god to wear t-shirts! Stand up for your self and show the world your inner characteristics of who you are at heart!!!
So what alternatives do we have? What casual piece of clothing builds up the shoulders? I can't wear a sport jacket or blazer to the office, because even with a shirt I would probably be overdressed.
Thanks!
Thanks Antonio - I find your channel very helpful about matters where I frequently feel lost. Subscribed.
Neil A awesome - thanks!
The solution is fixing your body type. Not hiding it with long clothes.
Yep
this is shallow. lol. BUT HELPFUL.. MUCH NEEDED HELP for those guys that really cant dress. but honestly, they really just dont give a F is they look good or not and let thier gut hanging out lol
thank you these are useful tips
Thank you for the 2/3 rule. It's something I kind of felt but was never expressed to me.
Scrawny arm dude talking about how T-SHIRTS don't look good on men but they look good on him.
I have a problem with button down shirts being too tight on the arms.
So his solution is ditch the T-shirt for a jacket? Screw him, the best advice is to hit the gym and grow some muscles. "A T-shirt looks good on me," says him. This guy is a joke.
Thanks for the tip~!
very goods tips, thanks a lot for your the good work.
I will be honest with you, the T-shirt you are wearing looks really bad. It looks so bad that I may actually be embarrassed walking around with a person wearing that crap. The cut, the fabric and the print are not good. Seriously, what the hell. Maybe it's because I am from Europe and the standards for style are a big higher.
Guys, T-Shirts are not that bad. Make sure you wear something without crazy prints, T-shirts are sewed differently and this is very important on the way it looks on your body. Also, the fabric is very important, this will have an effect on the visibility of the "love handels", the biceps and shoulders (if its softer and shinier it generally sucks). Lenght and width of the sleeves are important as well. You will look stupid if you are skinnier and you have wide sleeves that are flapping when you are walking.
To be on the safe side, you may want to try T-shirts with V-neck (this gives you the V masculinity thing) and/or decent quality Polo T-shirts. These should look good on most of you, except if you are a bit too chubby.
If I saw someone with that T-Shirt at the street walking towards me, i'd prepared to either asked for money or getting robbed
If most men picked up a weight for once in their life, this wouldn't be a problem.
Some people don't want upper body strength and look like a the incredible hock.
Harry B You couldn't look like the incredible hulk even if you tried, lifting noob.
We'll actually iv just spent six hours at school. Got home did a mile and a half run and then went to the gym. And now I be on my iPad until I sleep. And also I know no one can look like the hulk. As I said before it's an English technique called exaggeration. And yeah I'm a pussy that's why iv singed up for the army and have my selection week end in two weeks time. Your probable just one of those dick heads how thinks he can be a dick to how ever he won't, as they don't fit in with the "cool kids" stereo type.
MihaiRUdeRO I know what hyperbole is idiot, he could have said ''I don't want to look like The Rock'' or even said ''I don't want to look too big'', either way -- his point was he didn't want to look huge, which is what he assumes happens to men who lift weights. That doesn't happen, and if he ever did lift weights, he'd know that. It isn't possible and he has no control over that. It isn't an excuse to not lift weights.
Yes, most people are on the internet or watching TV all day. Especially the ones who whine about not having time to excersise, while they spend hours doing other useless things.
The jerking off, or whining about social issues part is just random diatribe, it could be anything -- either way said people DO have time, they just use it incorrectly.
tl;dr you're a fucking peasant, and a mental midget.
I don't won't to lift waits as I don't won't much upper body strength. I bet I could out run you do. So why should people have to do waits and look huge if they don't want to.
I can’t believe you uploaded this.
I like wearing T-shirts but only in V neck and in one basic color (white, blue, black, brown or gray; NO stamps). They fit pretty well and look casual. They can be combined with denims, boots and perhaps a wool sweater.
Serious question: how do you prevent your nipples from showing?
+car1it0sWAY Bra or pasties? Get out of the really cold weather making your nips hard? That's about it. Wear more than 1 shirt/put on a jacket?
+car1it0sWAY Use band-aids as nipple guards.
RedLetterA Thanks will do that
Surgery.
cut them off with a pair of scissors
4:44 QUOTE: We don't want to be around sickly individuals.
All your talk about how much healthy vs sickly people.
It is a bit discriminatory.
All this is in YOUR own eyes; your subjective opinion.
Shame on you for saying "we don't want to be around sickly individuals"
This video is great for those people who live their lives solely based on what other people think of them.
some very nice style. i love this . keep doing what you are.
lol dude your body is nowhere near pretty good. Its not bad but you cant say t-shirts compliment your body...you dont have back or shoulders or arms or 6pac or v shaped torso...so please include yourself to the category of men that t-shirts dont compliment their bodies much.
The Day I start taking fashion tips from an American is the day that I know im a fat 50yr old. British & Europeans know how its done.
typical british snob?
Yes. If a snob is someone who doesn't want to look like they are wearing their dads suit. Shoulder pads are not the one.
G Beardon BS our north american canadian/american fashion are the best in the world! all you other countries do is copy us!!
Why are we here? Your joking? I'm sorry I didn't realise that after London, Milan, Paris fashion week there came Ontario, Detroit and Milwaukee
G Beardon Try New York, LA, and Toronto for starters.. I could name a few shitty places in europe too and add that to fashion-fail example?
All you pussie ass euros and other countries do is copy us north americans anyway, TV, music, entertainment etc could go on! where do all the great celebrities and people always flock to or derive from in this world?
Thank you for supporting and wearing our T Antonio!
@JereMelvin For the upper body in a hot climate I'd recommend polo shirts, button-fronted short-sleeve shirts (especially seersucker and linen, in terms of comfort), and perhaps safari-style shirts for casual settings. Good question!
Real men don't care
