How to choose a T-shirt that goes with a jacket?
When matching a T-shirt with a tailored jacket, from what perspective do you choose the right item? Here are three basic perspectives on selecting items!
How to choose a T-shirt that goes with a jacket (1) “First, select a silhouette! What is appropriate as innerwear for jackets?”
The silhouette of the T-shirt worn with the jacket is important. Even if it looks cool when worn alone, it will not fit well when worn with a tight-fitting tailored jacket! This is often the case. First of all, carefully assess the silhouette of the jacket itself to which the T-shirt will be worn, and then select a T-shirt that matches it. For example, tailored jackets and suit jackets are often tailored in a true-to-size fit that follows the lines of the upper body, and if a big silhouette T-shirt is worn with such a jacket, it will look bulky and unfashionable. In this case, it is correct to choose a T-shirt that is just the right size, and ideally, the hem of the T-shirt should not protrude from the hem of the jacket. In the recent trend toward oversized jackets, there are many loose-fitting jackets, but when choosing such items, there is no problem if the T-shirt is also a little larger in size. The important thing is to choose a T-shirt that does not interfere with the beautiful silhouette of the jacket.
How to choose a T-shirt that goes with a jacket (2) “It is better to choose a material that is as elegant and of good quality as possible.
Since a tailored jacket is a dress item, it is better to choose a T-shirt made of an elegant, high-quality material that matches the jacket’s dignity if you are going to mix it with a casual item. Ideally, the fabric should be fine-grained and have a smooth texture, rather than heavy-weight cotton with a stiff feel and appearance. T-shirts with silk blends or knitted T-shirts are also good. T-shirts made of processed fabrics, such as silken fabrics, which reduce the fluffiness of the fabric, are also a good choice. Smooth surfaces naturally look more elegant, so you want to pay as much attention to the texture of the fabric as you do to the silhouette.
How to choose a T-shirt that goes with a jacket (3) “Basically, avoid T-shirts with designs such as prints or embroidery!
While printed T-shirts are often used to add a pop accent to a jacket, it is generally safe to choose a plain T-shirt to go with a jacket. Matching a T-shirt with a design on it is easy to accidentally wear a T-shirt with a design on it, and may make the wearer look childish. If you do choose a T-shirt with a design, it should have only a single point on the chest or hem, and even if it has a single point design, it should not have a strong color pattern. If you want to use flashy colors such as primary colors, use them with caution according to TPO.
