Long-Sleeve Shirts for Men

Long-Sleeve Shirts for Men

What is a long-sleeve shirt for men?

A long-sleeve shirt for men is essentially a T-shirt with long sleeves – a light top made of jersey that covers the arm to the wrist. It's often also called a longsleeve or long-sleeved T-shirt. It's warmer than a short-sleeved shirt but lighter than a jumper, which makes it especially good for the transitional seasons or for layering. Most models at Tom Tailor are made of soft cotton and come in many colours.

What kinds of long-sleeve shirts for men are there?

Long-sleeve shirts come in various styles, depending on the collar, texture and look:

• plain basic long-sleeves with a crew neck as a versatile foundation
• Henley shirts with a short button placket at the neckline
• long-sleeve polo shirts, for example in piqué quality, for a slightly smarter look
• textured styles such as waffle or ribbed knits, as well as versions with a print or logo

The colour range runs from classic black, white and blue to brown, green and grey. Exactly which fit and material a model has is stated in each product description.

What is the difference between a longsleeve and a sweatshirt?

The main difference lies in the fabric and the weight. A longsleeve is a thin, light shirt made of jersey that sits close to the body and is easy to wear under other pieces. A sweatshirt, by contrast, is made of thicker, brushed sweat fabric, is warmer and has a looser fit. In short: the longsleeve is the light option for layering or mild days, the sweatshirt the warmer one for cooler days.

How do I combine a men's long-sleeve shirt?

A long-sleeve shirt is versatile to combine. With jeans or chinos you get an easy everyday look. For layering, it works well under an open shirt or under a jumper. On warmer days a short-sleeved T-shirt is the lighter alternative. A plain basic model looks especially clean, while a Henley or long-sleeve polo adds a slightly smarter accent.
