How to Choose the Right Shirt for Your Body Type

The perfect shirt doesn’t just look good — it feels like it was made for you. At Muzaym, we understand that finding the right shirt is more than picking a size. It’s about matching fit and form to your body type. Whether you're slim, broad, or somewhere in between, here’s how to choose a shirt that complements your shape and adds polish to your look.



🔹 1. Know Your Fit

At Muzaym, all our shirts are designed in Regular Fit — a balanced cut that offers comfort without looking baggy. It's ideal for most body types, but understanding how it works with your shape matters:

  • Slim Build: A Regular Fit gives room without overwhelming your frame. Opt for subtle patterns or stripes to add depth.

  • Broad Shoulders / Athletic: Our cut flatters broader chests and shoulders while staying relaxed at the waist.

  • Rounder Midsection: Vertical stripes or darker shades help elongate the frame and create a streamlined look.


🔹 2. Pay Attention to Key Measurements

A good fit depends on more than chest size. Here's what to watch for:

  • Shoulder Seam: Should end exactly at your shoulder joint. Too short = tight, too wide = sloppy.

  • Chest: Should allow movement without pulling buttons.

  • Sleeve Length: Cuff should end at the base of your thumb bone.

  • Shirt Length: Should tuck in without riding up or hanging too long untucked.

👉 Pro Tip: Always refer to our Muzaym Size Guide before ordering. It’s based on real measurements, not just standard guesses.


🔹 3. Choose Fabric That Works With You

Our formal shirts are crafted from imported polyester-cotton blends, with plain white and black made from Tetron cotton. These fabrics not only breathe well but also adapt slightly to your movements — important for a natural, flattering drape.


🔹 4. Confidence is the Final Fit

At the end of the day, no shirt looks right if you’re not confident in it. The goal is to feel good, not just look sharp. When you find a shirt that fits your body and vibe, everything else aligns naturally.
