And thus, the decision has been made: you want to visually deceive females (or the female) around you to make your muscles look bigger than they are. Just kidding, you probably already look great and want to showcase some of that sexy physique so that people around you know how many hours you’ve spent in the gym.
What kind of shirts do best at making you look muscular? Well, generally, you wanna go for v-necks, tank tops, or slim fit dress shirts. However, that only works well when you’re already in decent shape and have something to show off. If that’s not the case (e.g. if you’re skinny, tall, but have wide shoulders), your best bet would be to wear a looser fit long-sleeve shirt which would hide your lacking arms and torso and emphasize shoulder width. But that’s a topic for another day. For now, we’re interested in shirts that make you look muscular when you’re already comfortable with your body, and next, we’re going to find out what models are out there to best fulfill this purpose.
