T-shirts and Tank Tops for Men
The Men's T-shirts and Tank Tops page features short and long sleeve t-shirts and tank tops, from Fred Perry, Nudie Jeans, Guess, Kappa, Kariban, Stedman, Blaklader, or Project X Paris.
A t-shirt is judged by its cotton, its fit, and its finishing touches.
The grammage, an indicator of quality
The grammage of a t-shirt, measured in grams per square metre, indicates the thickness of its cotton. A light t-shirt, around 140 to 160 grams, is thin and fresh for summer but deforms more quickly. A thicker t-shirt, starting from 180 grams, falls better, remains opaque and keeps its shape wash after wash. Basics to personalise, like those from Kariban or Stedman, often indicate this grammage.
Flame jersey, ringer and trims
Flame jersey, or slub, like on the Nudie Jeans Roger Slub, is woven with an uneven thread that gives the t-shirt a lively and slightly textured look. The ringer t-shirt, like those from Fred Perry, is recognised by its contrasting edges at the collar and sleeves, and t-shirts with double trims take their inspiration from the polo Fred Perry, which originated on the tennis courts. Embroidered t-shirts, with a discreet badge, are more dressed up.
Styles and uses
The slim fit, like the Kappa Cafers, follows the body, the regular fit allows more room, and the oversized fit, with dropped shoulders and generous length, is a standout in streetwear. Long-sleeve thermal t-shirts, like the Damart Thermolactyl, are worn as a base layer in winter, and tank tops, like the Blaklader, are great for sports and summer. A cotton t-shirt can be washed at 30 or 40 degrees, inside out to preserve prints, and should be dried flat.

Frequently asked questions
T-shirt or tank top for sports?
The tank top frees the shoulders and provides better ventilation, ideal for weightlifting and hot weather. The t-shirt better protects against the sun and chafing from bags, and is suitable for most sports.
How to prevent a t-shirt from shrinking?
Wash it at 30 degrees and air dry: the heat of the dryer causes cotton to shrink. A thick t-shirt, with good grammage, also maintains its shape and length better over washes.
Which white t-shirt doesn't become see-through?
A t-shirt of at least 180 grams per square metre remains opaque and falls better. Light t-shirts, around 140 grams, are cool in summer but reveal the skin more.
What is a ringer t-shirt?
It's a t-shirt with a contrasting collar and sleeve edges, in a different colour from the body. Inspired by vintage sports t-shirts, it adds a retro touch to a simple outfit.
Which t-shirt fit to choose based on body shape?
A fitted cut highlights an athletic silhouette, a straight cut suits most body shapes, and the oversized fit, more roomy, is worn casually. The shoulders should fall in the right place, regardless of the fit.
