The fitted shirt particularly flatters slim silhouettes. Slightly tapered at the waist, its cut subtly defines the contours of the shoulders and the start of the hips. At Hast, it differs from the shirt
classic fit (formerly slim fit), slightly less fitted, and the relaxed fit, designed for greater freedom of movement.
Who is the fitted shirt for?
The men's fitted shirt follows the body perfectly and flatters slimmer silhouettes without constricting the chest. Wearing a fitted shirt accentuates the shoulder muscles while streamlining the silhouette. We recommend wearing your fitted shirt tucked into your trousers; the drape of the shirt will be all the more elegant at the back. However, the fitted shirt is not ideal for broader silhouettes. This does not mean they should turn to loose cuts. On the contrary, opt for a slim fit or a relaxed fit, neither too tight nor too loose, to flatter your shoulders.
Our Hast fitted shirts are designed for everyday wear, whether at work, in the evening or for special occasions. The fitted cut adapts easily, and we offer subtle patterns, such as our fitted shirt with fine stripes, to pair with all your outfits, or you can opt for
a blue checked shirt for a bolder style. Our Hast shirts are made from 100% cotton: a natural fabric that lets your skin breathe and moves with you in complete comfort.
How should men wear a fitted shirt?
The men's fitted shirt is a must-have in the men's wardrobe. It is the essential modern piece to wear under a suit jacket, with the collar slightly unbuttoned for a less formal effect. Paired with jeans, or with
our trousers our fitted white poplin shirt combines elegance and modernity for every occasion, to wear under a jacket or leather jacket. Our
light blue Oxford shirt is one of those essentials you can slip on without a second thought, pairing elegantly with every outfit. For a more assertive look and a more original style, our fitted poplin shirt with fine stripes will elevate
pleated trousers while our fitted shirt with red stripes is ideal for a casual look with a
chinos navy.
What is the difference between fitted shirts and classic shirts?
The difference between fitted shirts and classic shirts lies mainly in their cut and style. Fitted shirts, often called slim shirts, have a slim fit that follows the contours of the body. They are generally made from high-quality cotton, such as poplin or Oxford, and may include stretch for added comfort. These shirts are perfect for a modern, elegant look, ideal for formal occasions. Classic shirts, on the other hand, have a more traditional, less fitted cut. They are often made from quality cotton, such as two-ply yarn, and may be in linen for a more casual look. Available in a range of styles, including striped, checked or plain patterns, these shirts are versatile and suitable for various occasions, from work to everyday casual wear. They are also easy to iron and care for.
Which body shape suits fitted shirts?
Fitted shirts are ideal for those seeking a close-to-the-body fit, tapered at the waist. They enhance the silhouette and streamline the lines. For those with a broader build, it is advisable to choose a slightly larger size to avoid an overly tight effect, ensuring optimal freedom of movement. Men of average to tall stature will also appreciate the fitted cut, as it creates a streamlined look without compromising comfort. If you are looking for an even more personalised look, explore the options
with a shirt that suits you.
