Hi all - I'm very sorry for posting about something which I know is covered in other places, but I have a lot of difficulty deciphering exactly how slim-fitting different slim fit shirts are, as I have no real reference point to compare them to. I just graduated college this past spring, and I've been wearing my brothers' hand-me-down "regular" fit Brooks Brothers button-downs. They're basically dresses on me.
That said, now that I am heading to grad school, I really need to purchase some better fitting shirts. And here's my slightly unique problem. I'm thin. And by that I mean really thin. I rowed D1 lightweight in college, or, in other words, I was 6'4", 155 pounds. Now that I'm out of season, that's more like 175 pounds, but still, you get the idea. And I read even thinner because almost all of my body's muscle is in my upper legs (which are actually pretty large). So all of my regular fit shirts are dresses on me, and even my fathers' Paul Rosen slim fits (its the only brand of slim fit I could get my hands on as reference point!) look a little large.
So now I'm looking for some very slim cut shirts at a reasonable price point. Dappared has posted some good looking options in the past, but its really hard to know how well they will fit, because of my abnormal bodytype. Can anyone help me out here? I've been thinking maybe CT slim fit or tailored shirts, because people seem to think they are some of the slimmest, but I could really use some advice. Thanks so much!!
