Shirt Lengths – What Works Best for Your Height?

The wrong shirt length can throw off your entire silhouette—whether you're tall, short, or somewhere in between. Understanding where your shirt should end (literally) makes all the difference in proportion, style, and fit. Here's how to choose the ideal shirt length based on your height, plus recommended styles and where to shop for the perfect cut.

General Shirt Length Guidelines

• Casual shirts (untucked): Should end mid-fly or halfway down your zipper—no lower than the bottom of your back pocket.
• Dress shirts (tucked): Should cover your waistband and hips fully—ending mid to lower seat to stay tucked in.
• Overshirts & shackets: Can be slightly longer, ending near the bottom of the seat for layering.
