When a guy looks worse when he's wearing a shirt compared to when he's topless, does that meant that he's just wearing a damn horrible shirt? Or is it because his body is just shaped weird to look bad in shirts but not bare?

Weird, how? What's weird about your shape in a shirt?

Do you have this with all your shirts? If so, then it'd be strange if they'd be ALL horrible, but maybe you picked the wrong sizes :P

Make sure you're wearing the right size shirt. A lot of people think baggy clothing disguises their "flaws," but it actually just makes you look like a hobo or the Michelin man IMHO. With any shirt, but especially the button-up shirt, the shoulder seams should be right at the edge of your shoulder, not hanging down on your arms; and it shouldn't be wide enough below the armpits that you have "wings" when you lift up your arms. Also, quality fabric and make a big difference. High-quality t-shirts made of a thick knit with combed cotton will not cling and drape on your body in the unflattering way that cheap, thin ones do.

If you post pictures we can probly give you better advice.

Not a woman, but getting the right fit really matters.

Up to when I was about 15, I bought medium sized tees because I wasn't comfortable with being "small sized", they all ended up being horribly baggy when I look at photos from back then. When I dropped my ego and admitted that was just the way I was I began getting much better ones. Even though I've put on some extra size I am still small-sized, but they look more flattering than not.

I have never known a guy to look worse wearing a shirt and I don't understand your question.

former_hermit what if he's too sexy for his shirt?

Or if said shirt is a holey polo shirt three sizes too large with giant pit stains and Kool-Aid down the front?

Some of my brother's shirts are jaw-droppingly awful.... like really hideous hawaiian shirts that clash with themselves horribly.
Literally nobody would look better in one of those than they would topless.
:lol:

Ha! That's how my husband dresses! Horrible hawaiian shirt worn open over something geeky (like a video game shirt) ripped jeans, and quidditch goggles. I know it looks bad, but he's just... so.... doofy... that it works! :D

If he dressed in dirty, old clothes that wouldn't make me want to see more of him, that would just make me want to keep my distance. "Too sexy for his shirt" is something that only computes as a song lyric to me and not something I can actually picture. I think shirts look good on people. I prefer people to be dressed, regardless of whether they're attractive or not.

I would say the guy is wearing a shirt that does not suit his body type. A t-shirt is not just a t-shirt. It all comes down to the cut, the fabric, the shape, the size and even the colour. I can go into a store and try on 2 different t-shirts and buy only one. They may look similar but how they sit on my frame will tell the difference.

So, if the guy looks better topless, chances are, he needs a better shirt.
