Men’s Shirt & Kurta Fit Guide

Quick answer: A good shirt or kurta should sit cleanly on the shoulder, feel comfortable at the chest, allow sleeve movement and fall at the right length for the occasion.

How should a men’s shirt fit?

The shoulder seam should sit close to the shoulder edge. The chest should not pull when buttoned. Sleeves should allow natural arm movement. The length should work tucked or untucked depending on styling.

How should a men’s kurta fit?

A kurta should feel comfortable on the shoulders and chest, allow sitting and movement, and fall cleanly without pulling at the waist or sleeves.

What if I am between sizes?

Choose the larger size for festive comfort, relaxed styling or kurtas. Choose the closer size only when shoulder and chest measurements are comfortable.

How can I reduce fit-related returns?

Measure a shirt or kurta that already fits you well. Compare shoulder, chest, sleeve and length against the product size chart before ordering.
