This Shirt Size Guide can be used with smart shirts and dress shirts. Both smart shirts and dress shirts should fit perfectly. But are you sure you actually use the correct shirt size? Many men out there use the same shirt size as they always have done, even though their body might have changed. Let us help you determine your right dress shirt size below...
How to Measure Men's Shirt Size?
To determine your perfect dress shirt size, you will need to take some body measurements. We will show you how...
Neck/collar: Measure circumference around your neck, at the Adam's apple. Keep the measuring tape a little bit loose.
Chest: Measure circumference around your chest at the fullest part, under your arms. Make sure to keep the measuring tape parallel with the floor all the way around.
Arm length: Ask a friend or family member for help measuring your arm length.
Bend your arm 90 degrees and place it on your hip (just like in the illustration above). Measure from the center back of your neck, across your sholder, via your elbow and down to your wrist.
Use your measurements to determine your top size from our Men's Shirt Size Charts below:

Short, Regular or Tall Size?
An easy way to determine whether you need regular (R) or tall/long (T/L) size, is to look at your body height. Simply use this body height chart:
Height
FT
Height
CM
Shirt
Length
Sleeve
<- 5'7''
<- 170
Short (S,A)
- 1.5'' (3.8 cm)
5'7''-6'1''
171-184
Regular (R)
6'1''->
185 ->
Long,Tall (L,T)
+ 1.5'' (3.8 cm)
Long/tall lengths: Tall/Long size usually means that sleeve length is about 1 1/2'' (3.8 cm) longer, and garment body is about 1 1/4'' (3.2 cm) longer than regular length.
