Men's Plus Size Button Down Short Sleeve Shirt

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and stand naturally. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and avoid pulling it too tight. Measure both your body and a shirt that already fits well for the best comparison.

Measure your body

1. Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits. Record the measurement with the tape snug but not tight. (Example: 44 in / 112 cm)
2. Shoulder width: Measure from the tip of one shoulder (where the shoulder seam would sit) to the tip of the other across the back.
3. Neck: Measure around the base of the neck where the collar sits. Add about 0.5 in / 1–1.5 cm for comfort if you want a looser collar.
4. Sleeve (short sleeve): Measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem. For overall arm fit, also measure the fullest part of your upper arm (biceps circumference).
5. Shirt length: From the highest point at the shoulder next to the collar down to the hem where you want the shirt to fall (typically mid‑hip for casual shirts).
6. Waist & Hips: Measure around the natural waist and the fullest part of the hips if you plan to tuck or pair with fitted bottoms.

Measure a shirt that fits

Lay a well-fitting shirt flat and measure these garment dimensions:

• Flat chest: 1 inch below the armholes, measure side seam to side seam and double it for the full chest.
• Shoulder: seam-to-seam across the back.
• Sleeve: shoulder seam to sleeve hem.
• Length: center back at the collar seam to hem.

Choosing the right fit

Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Suggested ease to choose comfort level:

• Fitted: add ~1–2 in / 2.5–5 cm to chest
• Regular/Comfort: add ~2–3 in / 5–8 cm to chest
• Relaxed: add ~3–4 in / 8–10 cm to chest

If you're between sizes, consider sizing up for extra comfort and mobility—especially with button-down shirts in plus sizes.

Materials

Common fabric options for this style and what to expect from each:

• 100% Cotton — breathable and comfortable; natural hand but may wrinkle and can shrink slightly if washed in hot water.
• Cotton–Polyester Blend — retains breathability while offering improved wrinkle resistance, durability, and reduced shrinkage.
• Rayon / Viscose — soft with a smooth drape; comfortable in warm weather but more delicate and often best washed gently.
• Linen or Linen–Blend — very breathable and cool with a textured look; wrinkles easily but is ideal for hot climates.
• Trims & Buttons — usually durable plastic or resin buttons and standard stitched buttonholes. Seams are commonly finished for durability.

Refer to the product label or listing for the exact fabric composition and any special finishes (e.g., wrinkle‑resistant treatments, stretch fibers).

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label when present. General recommendations:

• Wash: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent color transfer and reduce shrinkage.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals unless the label allows it.
• Delicate fabrics: For rayon or delicate blends, hand wash in cold water or use a gentle cycle in a mesh bag.
• Dry: Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Hanging helps maintain shape and reduces wrinkles and shrinkage.
• Iron/Steam: Iron on the appropriate setting for the fabric (medium for cotton/blends, low for rayon). Steaming is excellent for removing wrinkles without direct heat.
• Stain removal: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; test on an inconspicuous area first. Blot rather than rub to avoid damaging fibers.
• Storage: Hang shirts to keep shoulders and collars in shape. Keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
• Avoid frequent high-heat cycles: Repeated hot washing and drying will shorten fabric life and increase shrinkage—cold water and air drying prolong garments.

Style tips

• Fit matters most: Ensure shoulder seams align with your shoulders and you can move comfortably through the chest. Minor tailoring (slight taper at sides) can elevate the look.
• Casual looks: Wear untucked over chinos, shorts, or clean denim. Layer unbuttoned over a plain tee for a relaxed vibe.
• Smart casual: Tuck into flat-front chinos or lightweight trousers, add a leather belt and loafers or derby shoes. Rolling sleeves once creates a neat, effortless finish.
• Patterns and colors: Dark solids and small-scale patterns are slimming; vertical stripes lengthen the torso. Bold prints make a confident statement.
• Accessories: Coordinate belt and shoes for a polished outfit. A simple watch or sunglasses complete the look without overwhelming it.
• Layering: Short-sleeve shirts pair well under unstructured blazers, light jackets, or open overshirts—wear with the top button or two undone for a relaxed neckline.
• Balance proportions: If you choose a roomier shirt, pair with slimmer pants to avoid an overly boxy silhouette; conversely, a more fitted top looks great with slightly tapered trousers.
