💡 Why it matters
If you’re muscular, you’ve probably dealt with:
-
Shirts pulling across your chest
-
Tees that are too loose at the waist
-
Trousers that fit your legs but sag around the hips
This guide shows you how to dress with style and confidence, without looking like you’re headed to the gym.
👉 Check out Vercate’s collection of stretch basics
🔹 1. Opt for stretch (not sportswear)
Look for structured classics made from stretch materials. You’ll get freedom of movement and a clean silhouette.
👕 Think:
-
Dress shirts with 3–5% elastane
-
Knitted or pique polos
-
Chinos with a flexible waistband
👉 Explore stretch shirts and polo shirts
🔹 2. Get the shoulder fit right
Make sure:
-
Seams sit exactly on your shoulder line
-
No strain when you move
-
Sleeve length stops at your wrist bone
💡 Tip: Cutaway collars give balance to a broad chest and neck – a Vercate essential.
🔹 3. Slim fit beats skinny fit
A slim fit hugs your shape without squeezing it. Skinny fits usually look too tight and awkward.
✅ Slim = modern, tailored
❌ Skinny = restrictive, often unflattering
🔹 4. Keep it simple
You don’t need bold logos or loud prints.
✅ Stick to:
-
Solid colours
-
Luxe materials (oxford, pique, stretch cotton)
-
Minimal detailing
🔹 5. Yes, you can layer
Worried about looking bulky? Choose light fabrics and smart layers:
-
Polo + overshirt
-
Tee + open linen shirt
-
Chino + dress shirt + lightweight blazer
✅ Summary
For muscular men, the key is balance:
-
Comfortable stretch
-
Proper shoulder fit
-
Slim (not tight) cuts
-
Clean design
-
Smart layering
