Why is finding good slim fitted plain t-shirts so difficult now?
Been trying to find good slim fitted plain t-shirts for way too long and somehow every brand manages to mess up at least one thing.
Either:
- the fit is weirdly baggy/relaxed\ chappri
- the material quality is terrible and looks like it’ll fade after 2 washes
- or the sizing makes zero sense and small is never actually small
For reference, I’m around 5’7 and prefer slightly fitted tees that actually show physique instead of hanging like a curtain. But nowadays brands make “small” fit like medium. Sometimes it genuinely feels like brands assume anyone wearing small is just short and overweight instead of lean/slim.
Mainstream brands like Outfitter, Breakout etc have honestly been disappointing. Loose sloppy fits, average material, and overpriced for the quality.
Finding a simple plain t-shirt with:
- proper slim fit
- decent lasting fabric
- accurate sizing has become weirdly difficult.
Budget is around 2-3k PKR per shirt. I know it’s not a huge budget, but am I really asking for too much? I just want plain tees that fit properly and don’t die after a couple washes.
Would appreciate recommendations from people who actually like fitted clothing and care about quality.
