If you're a shorter man, it can be hard to find casual shirts like t-shirts and polo shirts that actually fit and flatter your body. I'm just under 5'6", and I went to the mall to see if I could find some shirts that looked great on me.
I tried on shirts from Old Navy, Express, Forever 21, H&M, Ralph Lauren, Under Armour and a few other brands (including some from the boys' department). I'll show you how each shirt fit and share my thoughts about each brand in this video. Enjoy!

you should get an award for making these awesome videos. saving me ton of money because i only shop online using these videos as reference. so far brooks brothers and ralph lauren has been my success

@gusherfelter1068 7 лет назад

"Shop to fit" I like that quote!! I have the same issue with shirts, either they are too long or too snugging. They were good shirts though. Well done

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Gusher Felter thanks!

@Nezumi__ 7 лет назад

Can't stop watching these videos, love how they keep improving! Just going back and watching the older vids :)

@TuneinR 7 лет назад

shop to fit..not brands..True! However...it is a hit or miss.I bought some cheap shorts from H&M and everyone is like.."where do u bought this from" It fits so well than a luxury short from J.Lindeberg

@HippiesKiller007 7 лет назад

adding some muscle on to your frame greatly helps with the length, since I stopped getting taller I wore medium and it fit me well both length and size wise, now few years later a wear large and it is the same length pretty much

@DaveGee2010 7 лет назад

As always Brock is 'the man' - Once again proving to us all two very important lessons... 1 - We all need a great tailor if we are going to buy off the rack and 2nd made to measure is looking like a great way to go for those of us who can afford it.

@Math-Tulane 7 лет назад

I'm 5'4 135 lbs, 27.5 inch waist, 33.5 chest. The fruit of the loom v-neck tees , crew tees from the boys' section are the ONLY shirts I can find that fit me.

@TheFactaa 7 лет назад

I've always noticed the issue of t-shirts being too long, so lately I've been getting them tailored (shortened) by a couple inches or so. I know its only a t-shirt, but it goes from being an item I wouldn't wear to something I really like. By the way, love your channel Brock. Keep em coming!

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+TheFactaa agreed 100%. Totally worth the cost, otherwise the shirt just goes to waste.

@cloudmaster3235 2 года назад

Your spot on with assessment you've made. I'm the exact same size as you and the only other clothing company I found that I think you may or may not like is Asos. They have muscular fit tshirt made by them but it is fairly tight. For $10 they are amazing but I dig the underarmor. The underarmor looked great on you IMO it looked the best. I feel you on the big logos. I don't really like em to stand out but the fit was spot on. I might even aim for a youth large but I'll know soon... Thanks!!!!

@seheyser 5 лет назад

Very honest review. Try Banana Republic, a little expensive but the quality and the fit definitely worth it, they are the best polos I’ve ever had.

@keith4948 7 лет назад

I'm not short but I find your videos super helpful because I'm skinny (I'm 5' 10" and 130 lbs). If it fits slim on you but is too long, it's probably going to work well for me. I really like this video and the one you did on shorts.

@mikeshi2948 7 лет назад

Try uniqlo if you can! They have some really decent quality polos at an affordable price. I am 5'5 and they basically fit me perfectly from the arm to the length. And they don't really have any visible branding on them.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Mike Shi will do.

@PicoFromTX 7 лет назад

That medium striped polo fit perfect dude. It didn't seem too tight at all. You would just need to hang dry to prevent it shrinking.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Pico true. If it retained its shape it could work well. Oddly, I couldn't any more of that style in the store...

@emmanuelespad 7 лет назад

Me: 5'5 and 140 pounds Advice #1 (basic): focus only on tshits and polos that fits you well on the shoulders, tight on torso and arms (sleeve length just above the middle of bicep) Advice #2 (took me some experience...but it's ridiculously simple): as "short" guy you'll straggle to find the right length...so buy the longest and then tuck it in your trousers!!!!!! It will look 100 times better than untucked because it will stretch your figure. (Why the longest? Because it will be easier to keep tucked in, while the shorter ones will come off your trousers every 2 seconds). P.s. About sizes, I usually go for an S but here in Italy tend to be smaller than in US

@Supashoppa69 5 лет назад

I share your frustration :) I am 5ft 8in and slim build and still find it extremely difficult to find decent fitting clothes.

@valkyrie_592 5 лет назад

When I look at the shirts, the stomage parts are WIDER thqn the shoulders. How in the hell does someone be wider in their back and side of the stomsge than shoulders

@whypie7081 4 года назад

Valkyrie_ simple they are fat

@LastTimeLord12 7 лет назад

Brock, I love your content and thanks for making content for the smaller dude. What exactly makes a shirt "lower quality" than another? I'm new to this stuff so any extra info would be helpful. Thanks again and keep on making great content!

@rete1578 7 лет назад

The only polos I buy are youth Xl under armor and American Eagle small. I'm 5'6 and 140 pounds and these two brands fit really good especially under armor

@THEBMG6464 7 лет назад

Great video Brock! I never missed your videos!

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Brando G thanks brother!

@andreasaskimvatne5193 7 лет назад

Try Bershka or Zara, I tend to find that they have sizes that fit most smaller men since Zara for example is based on european sizing.

@GorcStew 5 лет назад

5'10" and 150 lbs. HnM lengths (med) work fine for me lol. That and they double as undershirts during winter because they are long enough to tuck in to pants.

@tmdoxie 7 лет назад

I'm a little taller and about 20lbs heavier and I've found that H&M is my go to for tshirts because I've come to view them as disposable items.

@sabricanozcan4667 7 лет назад

tmdoxie I am 15lbs heavier and little bit taller too, what is your height exactly?

@StyleYourLife 7 лет назад

I know the struggle mate, it really is a pain in the ass to find well fitting T's as a short guy. Most of my T's come from a store called "WE Fashion" (not sure if this is a worldwide store). Their T-shirts fit me almost perfectly which is quit surprising considering that I'm a short and skinny guy (size XS) Great video and what do you think of Tommy Hilfinger?

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Style Your Life haven't had much luck with TH but I need to try their boys sizes soon.

@JanPBtest 5 лет назад

David Bowie's shirts in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" were boy sizes from Harrods.

@federico83bg 7 лет назад

Good to see I'm not the only one going to the boys section to find something that fits. sometimes I wonder who's the target client of the xs size for these brands. xs means XS

@FaiBro 7 лет назад

This series is really good, keep it up!

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Fai Bro thanks, will do!

@minigunsun 5 лет назад

I'm about your height and my clothes are pretty much from uniqlo which is perfect for asian/short/slim body type.

@BrockMcGoff 5 лет назад

Uniqlo USA or what?

@BogieSIX 7 лет назад

Great video man. Ever check out Kohls Apt9 slim stretch tshirts? Totally decent.

@tuandunglai2491 6 лет назад

thank man, these kind of videos really help!

@trekcirsalguod 7 лет назад

really interesting video, thanks for sharing, have you tried Uniqlo before? Might be worth a try!

@blackpen14 7 лет назад

Hi, Have you tried uniqlo? I think their XS will fit you very well.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

Will do.

@kxoxow 7 лет назад

LOVE YOUR SHOPPING VIDEOS SOOOO RELATEABLE

@martysat2760 3 года назад

Just bought the H&M slim fit polo in EUR size S, it fits me perfectly. I am 5'5'' and 140 lbs. Maybe the EUR size S is smaller than the US size S.

@jeppep95 7 лет назад

at 5:10 i disagree on the lenght being borderline to short, i think that shirt fitted you the best when it comes to length, made you the most proportional

@jeppep95 7 лет назад

Same with the underarmour

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+jeppep95 agreed. I was just worried about shrinking.

@iantop2 5 лет назад

Love the content! More like this pls :)

@Ryan_Mooney 5 лет назад

JCrew slim pique polos fit great. They are not currently available, hoping they come back. I'm about the same size as Brock and slim XS is perfect.

@Z4buz4ITA 7 лет назад

Brock, what do you think of uniqlo's tshirt?

@willywallybangbang 7 лет назад

I think that the Express shirt was also too long. Since none of these were just right for you, where do you usually get your t-shirts and polos from?

@charlesgregory6016 7 лет назад

please try the fred perry slim fit polos and the uniqlo dry pique polos!

@StyleYourLife 7 лет назад

I am a short guy (I assume that you know that Calvin) and the fred perry polo fits me

@misconduct6845 5 месяцев назад

I think the reason why these shirts are so long is because they shrink so much when you wash them and toss em in the dryer, I usually buy my shirts this way that way after the first wear I throw it in the laundry and once it hans just right on the fly

@skeetermegia 7 лет назад

dont know if anyone has mentioned already but try asian brands/ asian sizes like Uniqlo. great quality as well. also, try European brands like topman or river island

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+skeeter megia I think you have to try those brands IN those countries though. The US versions are oversized like all US brands. Uniqlo here is not at all the same as Uniqlo in Japan (at least in size).

@jacobmedina9011 5 лет назад

I'm around the same height as you just 20 pounds extra, I always get shirts that are too wide or too long, what is your recommendation to shop at

@Mark-cu5fk 7 лет назад

whaat? Im 5'6" just like you and im around 135lb and xs hm slim fit tshirt fits perfectly and its even a little short in terms of lenght

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+Flowzy well you have about 15 lbs on me do that probably affects the fit.

@willywallybangbang 7 лет назад

It could also be that you tried a different fitting shirt than Brock. I don't think that all of the shirts are the same fit.

@Slayer-zv9ho 7 лет назад

@ceaze 7 лет назад

There's a Ralph Lauren section at the tj Maxx I go to and the polos are about 35$ and the tshirts are 15$

@SPRMarksman 7 лет назад

PSA Ralph Lauren custom fit t shirts fit very well for short dudes. I usually hate Polo as a brand because their cuts are garbage, but their custom fit line is great. I'm 5'1" and their size small is cut perfectly for a slightly more muscular build. sleeves, length, and slimness is perfect. Encourage you guys to check them out.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+SBRMarksman the custom fit in boys size large fits me perfectly.

@habsfan9383 4 года назад

@duckbrew 7 лет назад

That's funny. I'm 6'0 and have probs finding polos and tee that fit my long torso. In essence I have the opposite problem!

@marknavarro8778 2 года назад

Try Hanes from target 6pack neutral colors

@krillonusa 7 лет назад

Yeah I swear I never buy H&M clothing because XS/S seem to fit 6'2"+ Europeans

@josephjankowski1153 6 лет назад

That's because they shrink 4 inches after 2 or 3 washes.

@jamesCH3W 7 лет назад

hello, do you know any slim fit Ts that would fit someone who is 6'1 with very broad shoulders? my problem is that I am a size large but my shoulder length is so long that it makes the sleeves push outwards so it looks very odd and when I wear a size XL it's too baggy.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+James Chew have you tried J. Crew tall sizes?

@jamesCH3W 7 лет назад

I have never tried the tall size fit but ill give it a shot, thank you!

@thechang5161 7 лет назад

Try uniqlo dry pique polo as well! :)

@aymanalij 7 лет назад

Hey bro. IMO the J.Crew Broken In Tees are the best quality and fitting t-shirt on the market for the price. I'm 5"9 165lbs athletic build and I wear the classic fit small size (because it's shorter than the slim fit medium). I recommend that you try out the J.Crew Broken In Slim Fit Tee in XS/S, I think it should fit you perfectly. Cheers!

@southamigo1643 7 лет назад

How about banana republic, GAP, Armani exchange

@resurrectvamp 7 лет назад

I'm guessing UK sizes are different because I'm 5'5/5'6 and I wear the H&M XS T-Shirts and they fit just fine, I'm a lot slimmer than you too.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+a_damdude I bet they are pretty different. How much do you weigh?

@arnabjyotibaruah 7 лет назад

Though I couldn't watch the whole video,I feel the author missed the whole topic of shrinking when buying cotton products.Usually they shrink a size or half,so its better if you get a size larger(for a "comfortable" slim fit).Cheers.

@BrockMcGoff 7 лет назад

+arnabjyotibaruah they usually don't shrink much if you don't tumble dry them. Varies pretty widely though.

@mastersnake42 7 лет назад

Washing in cold water and hang drying produces virtually no shrinkage. This is the way I wash all of my shirts that fit properly off-the-rack and I've never had problems.

@bigbufobufo 7 лет назад

i don’t understand why clothing manufacturers always insist on making t shirts sizes so long at the torso! they need to shorten it up so that it ends at the hip bone. nobody has a torso that long. it’s not proportionate and looks ridiculous.

+Adriana Valarezo Rodríguez big brands like this have different sizes/patterns/products for different countries. Uniqlo is Japanese but their stores in Japan aren't the same as the stores here.

@sweetness583 4 года назад

I'm 5'5 and nothing fits me except some shorts (9.5" or 10"). It's ridiculous. I don't know who set the measurements for these clothes. They make no sense. I have to hem everything, and I can almost never buy jackets. I can't buy track pants either. It's infuriating. They'll even tell you online that their model is 6'2 wearing a medium! And yet they still make a "big and tall" section... Are you kidding me?
