KakoBuy Spreadsheet — T-shirts

A useful T-shirt shortlist balances the graphic with the shape. Compare neckline, sleeve length and body proportions as well as the print, so the shirt works with the trousers and layers you already own.

Check the proportions. Use a well-fitting T-shirt as a reference for flat chest width, shoulder width and back length. Check how the seller measures each one, especially when comparing cropped, oversized and regular cuts.

Before ordering. Confirm the front and back design, colour and selected size. Read the material description if fabric feel matters to you, and use close-up photos to inspect print placement and visible seams rather than assuming every version is identical.

Balance the graphic with the shape

Choose whether the T-shirt should lead the outfit or work quietly with other pieces. Then compare the outline and design together. A print you like is most useful when the sleeves, neckline and length also suit the way you dress.

Body-to-sleeve proportions

Compare where the sleeves and hem finish, not just the overall width. A boxy body with shorter sleeves creates a different look from a long body with dropped shoulders.

Graphic scale and placement

Look at the print relative to the neckline and body width. Decide whether you want a small chest detail, a large front graphic or a back design that remains the main feature.

How you will style the hem

Consider whether you wear T-shirts tucked in, loose or under an open layer. Check whether a tuck would hide part of the design or whether the hem would extend below your usual jacket.

Questions about t-shirts

A few details to help you compare your shortlist.

How can I compare a regular and a boxy cut?

Compare width and length as a pair. A boxy cut often describes a wider-looking body relative to its length, but the label is not a standardized measurement. Use the actual dimensions and front view to understand the proportions.

Can I tell if a light-coloured tee is opaque?

A product photo is not a reliable opacity test because lighting, background and styling affect the result. Ask for the fabric description and additional views if coverage matters to you. Colour alone does not answer the question.

What should I check on a graphic tee before choosing?

Compare the selected version with both front and back photos, including print size and location. Read the care instructions if supplied. The image does not independently establish printing technique, wash durability or how the fabric will feel.
