T-Shirt Size Guide for Men and Women

Finding the right t-shirt size for men and women comes down to two numbers: chest width and body length. Get those right and your graphic tee will hang the way it does in the photos, whether you want a clean everyday fit or a roomy streetwear look. This guide explains how unisex and women’s t-shirts are sized, shares the exact measurements for 2EZE tees and helps you choose between sizes.

How to Measure a T-Shirt

Lay your best-fitting tee flat and measure:

  • Width: straight across the chest from side seam to side seam, 1 inch below the armpits.
  • Length: from the highest point of the shoulder next to the collar down to the bottom hem.

Compare your numbers with the charts below. For a full walkthrough, read how to measure your shirt size at home.

Unisex T-Shirt Size Chart

Our classic unisex tee is cut straight through the body and fits most men true to size. Measurements are of the garment laid flat, in inches:

Size Width Length
S 18 28
M 20 29
L 22 30
XL 24 31
2XL 26 32
3XL 28 33
4XL 30 34
5XL 32 35

Each size adds about 2 inches of width and 1 inch of length, so moving up one size makes a noticeable difference across the chest.

Women’s T-Shirt Size Chart

Our ladies’ tee has a slightly tapered, more feminine shape with a scoop neck. It runs smaller than unisex sizing:

Size Width Length
S 17.25 25.5
M 19.25 26
L 21.25 27
XL 23.25 28
2XL 25.25 28.5
3XL 27.25 29

Men’s Fit vs. Women’s Fit: Which Should You Choose?

For men

Order the unisex tee in your usual size for a classic fit. If you like your tees with a little more room, or you are between two sizes, size up. If you prefer a fitted look, compare the width with a tee you already own before sizing down.

For women

You have two options. Choose the ladies’ tee in your usual size for a closer, tapered fit. Or choose the unisex tee for a relaxed, oversized look: many women order one size down from their usual size in unisex for a boyfriend fit that is not too baggy, or their usual size for a true oversized look to wear with leggings or bike shorts.

What About Youth and Long Sleeve Sizes?

Youth tees run from YXS (16 inches wide) to YXL (20 inches wide) for kids who want to match the grown-ups. Our unisex long sleeve tee uses the same body measurements as the unisex short sleeve tee, so you can order the same size in both. Full charts are on our size chart page.

Tips for the Perfect Graphic Tee Fit

  • Shoulder seams should sit at the edge of your shoulders, not halfway down your arm (unless you want an oversized look).
  • The hem should land around the middle of your belt or slightly below for an untucked look.
  • The graphic should sit across the upper chest. A tee that is far too long pushes the design down toward your stomach.
  • Wash cold and dry low. Cotton can shrink slightly with heat, so care for it gently to keep your size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do unisex t-shirts run big?

Unisex tees are cut for a straight, relaxed fit, so they feel roomier than women’s tees of the same size label. Men usually order their normal size; women often size down.

Should I size up in a graphic tee?

Size up if you are between sizes, like a looser streetwear fit or plan to layer the tee under a hoodie or overshirt.

What is the difference between width and chest?

Width is the flat measurement across the front of the shirt. Chest circumference is roughly double the width.
