Men's Casual and Dress Short Sleeve Shirts

Short sleeve, short sleeved and half sleeve all mean the same shirt. What changes between them is how dressed a shirt is. A dress shirt takes a firmer collar and a plain front, so it holds a line under a jacket. A casual one opens the collar out, carries a print, and goes over a tee or on its own. Cotton is the thing to check before either, because a light weave takes a hot day and a heavier one holds a crisper line.

Summer Shirts, Half Sleeve Shirts and Fit

Fit is where a short sleeve shirt is won or lost. A sleeve that stops halfway down the bicep sits where it should, and one that reaches the elbow makes the whole shirt look a size too big. The body counts as much, because a shirt worn out rather than tucked needs to finish at the hip and no lower. The shoulder seam is fixed the day a shirt is cut, so it is the one thing worth checking before the sleeve or the length.
