A regular fit shirt should feel structured and comfortable—clean lines at the shoulders, easy movement through the chest, and no pulling when you go about your day. With a style like the Baldinini Trend Light Blue Regular Fit Shirt, the goal is a polished silhouette that doesn’t look tight or boxy.
The shoulder seam should land right at the edge of your shoulder bone (where your shoulder naturally “breaks” into the upper arm). If the seam sits too far down the arm, the shirt will look oversized and the sleeve can droop. If it rides up toward your neck, the shirt will feel restrictive and can create pulling lines across the upper chest and back.
With your arms relaxed at your sides, the yoke (the panel across the upper back) should lie flat. Any bunching around the shoulder blades can signal the shirt is too wide or too long in the shoulder, while tightness across the back usually means you need more room through the upper torso.
Across the chest, a regular fit should skim the body with a bit of airspace. Button the shirt normally and look for a flat placket (the strip with the buttons). If the buttons strain or the fabric gaps, it’s too tight in the chest. If you can pinch a handful of fabric at each side and it billows, it’s likely too roomy for the look most people want from a regular fit.
A quick movement test helps: cross your arms, reach forward as if grabbing a steering wheel, and take a deep breath. You should feel ease without the buttons pulling or the upper chest feeling compressed.

If the hem is longer and evenly curved, it’s designed to tuck and will look cleaner tucked in. If it’s shorter and more casual-looking, wearing it untucked can work—as long as it ends around mid-fly and doesn’t flare out at the sides.
