As a general rule.
Casual shirt if I'm wearing a sweater/jumper. T-shirt if I'm just slobbing around or going down the match in a hoodie. |

You will not see me in a t-shirt in public unless its a band t shirt or something, otherwise its shirts or polos at the most.

I'm 51 and only wear shirts if the wife nags me into it. I'm still in reasonable shape so its t-shirts all the way - once you get saggy manboobs and/or belly then perhaps its best not to wear t-shirts.

By preference I tend to go for the long-sleeve buttoned shirt, have got a few short-sleevers, polos and even the odd T-shirt (those'll be worn with or without a jumper/fleece depending on weather/situation) but something like 70 to 80 percent of my shirt supply is the long sleeve in various colours and styles.

I usually wear either a Polo or short sleeved shirt. Never wear long sleeves or a tie (not even for funerals or weddings!). T-shorts are for when I'm gardening or painting, as I make a mess of them - which is why I buy the rubbish cheap ones from Sports Direct.

Shirt tucked in or out? If out the straight hem shirt is best. I hate a halter hem not tucked in looks awful.

I'm partial to grandad collars...be it shirts, long-sleeved tops, or t-shirts.
I do sometimes buy casual shirts with collars but invariably I end up removing them, especially when they get a bit worn. |

There's something about the older generation always wearing a shirt, I don't think I've ever seen my Grandad in a t shirt. Personally I can't stand shirts, even the most casual shirt feels too formal. I much prefer a nice t shirt or a polo shirt.
>> If choosing the casual or scruffy appearance then T shirts do have their use. |

Why are men's clothing options so restrictive and unexciting? It really is a shirt or a t shirt isn't it or slight variations on the theme - collar on t shirt, long or short sleeve, pattern or plain. If you really want to push the boat out maybe an epaulette on the shoulder.

![]() Do men mind the lack of options? …it just makes it easier for women when they tell us what to buy,…or what not to buy. “ Yes dear, whatever you say, I just thought it might look ok but obviously not,…no I didn’t think which trousers would match,…seems long enough to me,…doesn’t feel tight,….no I didn’t think how you might get the stains out of it,…does this material not wash well then,…my silver & blue striped tie will match this shirt…no,….ok what should I buy then,…..etc etc etc etc “ |

As a person of the female persuasion I will come bounding out of my closet and say men in long sleeved t shirts look lovely especially when they push the sleeves up a bit. Use this information as you will.....

A guy with a reasonable bod and confidence and good quality clothes, will look decent in shirts, t- shirts and long sleeved t-shirts.
It only comes down to what the occasion is. |

I think you can only wear t-shirts if you're in reasonable shape. I can just about get away with it now having lost loads of weight this year.
There's nothing more tragic then a portly middle-aged man in a naff high-street shirt. |
