Fit notes for your new body
- Shoulder seam sits on the shoulder bone, not down your arm.
- Sleeve ends mid-bicep. Longer looks like your old size.
- Hem lands at mid-fly. If it covers your back pockets, size down.
- Between sizes and still losing? Go smaller in Sport; it has stretch.

How we pick
Every pick is checked for quality, how it fits a body that's still changing, how it holds up, and value per wear.
