If you’re between sizes in the Baldinini Trend Regular Fit Shirt, the safest choice usually comes down to how you plan to wear it and where you feel snugness first: the neck/collar, shoulders, chest, or midsection. A regular fit is designed to have a bit of ease already, so many shoppers who are only slightly between sizes can stay with the smaller size for a cleaner, more tailored look—especially if they wear it tucked in under a blazer or prefer minimal extra fabric.
Choose the larger size if any of the following apply: you prefer a roomier drape, you’ll layer an undershirt and want more breathing room, you have broader shoulders or a fuller chest, or you often feel restriction when reaching forward (a common sign the shoulder/chest area needs more space). Sizing up is also the smarter move if you’re close to the top end of the smaller size measurements, since shirts that are tight across the chest or shoulders can pull at the placket and feel restrictive over a full day.
To decide quickly, compare your best-fitting shirt’s measurements to the product’s size guide—focus on chest and shoulder first, then collar and sleeve length. If the smaller size matches your shoulders but feels borderline in the chest, go up; shoulders that fit well matter more than a slightly roomier waist, which is easier to live with (or tailor) than a shirt that binds across the upper body.
For the most precise guidance specific to this style, see the full sizing and fit notes here: Baldinini Trend Light Blue Regular Fit Shirt guide.
The shoulder seams should sit close to the edge of your shoulders without dropping down your arm. Across the chest, you should be able to move comfortably with no pulling at the buttons and no tightness when you cross your arms.
