Fitted Shirts – What To Look For When Buying A Fitted Shirt

When trying on your fitted dress shirt either in a store or when getting it from your shirt maker there are a few things you should keep an eye out for if you have intentions on picking what can be considered a well fitted shirt.

• Shoulder Width – Find the end of your top shoulder bone and make sure that the shoulder seams align with it. Far too many men are wearing shirts that sag below this point, which in turn affects the look of the shirts on other areas.

• Sleeve Length – When standing with your arms relaxed down along your arms a fitted dress shirt has a sleeve ending at the top thumb knuckle if the cuff is not buttoned.

• Waist – Often standard sizes have a tent like affect along the waist of the dress shirt. To achieve a normal fit try sitting down with the shirt on and make sure that the waist fabric cannot extend more than a fist size from your stomach. For a slim fit it should be about half a fist size.

• Shirt Length – For the shirt length you should consider if you are looking for a shirt that is to be tucked in or remain out of your pants. For tucked in dress shirts the shirt should end about ½ inch above the end of your pants zipper. For un-tucked dress shirts it should end about 1 ½ inches above that same spot. This is a subjective matter, however.

There are generally three options when it comes to dress shirts:


Athletic fitted shirts – Fits for this type of build are usually called athletic, slim, or modern fit. These fits come with a narrower waist, chest, and hip area.
Standard sized dress shirts – These sizes are a bit larger and looser which doesn’t allow for much of a fitted look. Usually these shirts result in a sloppier and baggier look.
Custom made fitted shirts – By getting a custom fitted shirt you get a shirt that follows your specific dimensions and you’ll have complete control over the final fit of the shirt. Nine times out of ten the fit is better with the fully customizable shirt.

For those who want a clean cut look, then wearing a fitted shirt is the only option. A cleaner cut will lead to a more presentable look and more appealing to everyone. Be careful when buying standard shirt sizes or pre-made shirt sizes though, sizes vary from store to store and often times you won’t be able to get the same look as you can with a custom or tailor made fitted dress shirt. The best choice is to go to a tailor and get a custom made dress shirt. A tailor will be able to measure your upper body and provide the best fitting shirt you’ll ever have. There are even several online options that provide detailed information on how to measure your own body so you’ll have complete control over the fit of the shirt.

Weight Loss Supplements – What To Look For

There are so many different weight loss supplements on the market today. With so many of them promising that they are the new “wonder supplement” that is the answer to all your desires, you need to be careful. It’s a jungle out there. In this article we will look at what to look out for, how to choose a weight loss supplement, and some of the reputable weight loss supplements on the market.

Weight Loss Supplement Safety

Remember there are many weight loss supplements on the market that are not approved by the FDA. It is important to make your choice as to a weight loss supplement by doing your due diligence before you make your purchase. The second thing to keep in mind is that your supplement needs to be consumed in moderation. Don’t commence your supplement program by over loading. There have been many cases where people have consumed to much and made themselves sick. Your body needs to slowly adapt.

When taking weight loss supplements it is also wise to acknowledge that the supplement will only assist in weight loss. It won’t solely bring about weight loss for you. Your weight loss supplement needs to be coupled with a sensible well balanced diet, and a regular exercise routine. Exercise helps increase your metabolic rate, thus accelerating your weight loss. If you combine these three elements then you will lose weight safely, and your weight loss will be long term. Remember that a supplement alone will not create long term weight loss.

Some reputable weight loss supplements

Green Teas

The Green Tea weight loss supplement market is booming. Green Tea has significant health benefits. It is high in antioxidants, it is good for the heart and there is little side effects for green tea weight loss supplements. Green teas are an excellent weight loss supplement to commence with.

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is found in skin of red grapes. It has very powerful anti aging benefits and is excellent for weight loss. Resveratrol rapidly increasing your metabolic rate and gives you the the weight loss benefits of consuming a low calorie diet, without dramatically reducing your calorie intake. It also has powerful cell generating properties, helping slow the ageing cycle.

Some Weight Loss Supplements to be cautious of

Ephedra

Ephedra or ephedrine is a stimulant drug that has received much media attention. There have been serious doubts raised as to whether or not this drug is safe as a weight loss supplement. Ephedra is meant to starve hunger and also increase your metabolic rate. There have been cases where patients have had heart complaints as this drug can also lift your heart rate.

Meal Replacements

Meal replacements companies have been growing massively over recent years. People are time poor, and meal replacement offer a way to lose weight fast. Appealing to most, however they have a very low rate of long term weight loss success. The main reason for this that it doesn’t teach portion control. Weight loss requires a shift in lifestyle and by learning eating habits that are healthy. Meal replacement weight loss supplements will help you lose weight short term, however from clients I have worked I have found that these supplements have not created a behavioural shift significant enough to have long term weight loss success.
