What t-shirt sleeve length is right for you?
This article will you to select the best t-shirt sleeve length for your taste, body type and style. We'll break down the various lengths so you can make the best selection for your wardrobe.

Long Sleeve
The long sleeve t-shirt provides the comfort that you enjoy of your favorite t-shirts with the extra coverage that a cooler climate requires. Usually made of the same materials as your average t-shirt, this shirt is perfect for layering and looks great under a short sleeve t-shirt. Especially popular for winter 2006-2007 is the thermal underwear waffle look. It looks great under a sports coat and is casual enough for the hay rides in the fall.

Short sleeve
The traditional short sleeve is an American icon. We've discussed the history of the t-shirt in this magazine before. It is clearly an item in your wardrobe that will never go out of style.

The short sleeve can be worn year round and will stand alone or compliment a sweater or jacket.

The short sleeve t-shirt comes in a variety of styles. Ringers, v-necks, low cuts, belly shirts as well as a variety of other colors and styles that we can't think of at the moment. Pick the best color for you by reading our break-down of color theory.

All body types can feel right at home in this sleeve length. The mid-length of the short sleeve breaks up the size of the arm, making it ideal for those with larger arms. For those who want to accentuate their hard work in the gym, a smaller, tighter fit has a way of showing off those guns.

Cap Sleeve
Also known as the girly tee, this t-shirt, shows off those feminine arms. Ideal for girls and women, Old Crappy Tee uses this sleeve length for all of its women's t-shirts. The cap sleeve is shorter than the typical t-shirt and harkens back to the cute innocent t-shirts worn as a child.

Sleeveless
The Sleeveless t-shirt has lost popularity lately so if you want to stand out from the crowd this is the t-shirt for you. This shirt is sure to appeal to the hipsters out there as it has not been since the 1980's when Ocean Pacific made it popular. Cut at the shoulder, this shirt should only be worn by the tone and fit.

Tank Top
Made popular in the hippie era of the seventies, this shirt is pure summer time. While it's cool and comfortable in the heat, it may not be right for everyone. Sometimes it's best to leave something to the imagination. Got it?
