How to choose the right fit
Compare garment measurements with a T-shirt or polo you already like. A regular fit should allow comfortable movement; an oversized fit should look intentionally broader through the shoulder and body rather than simply being several sizes too large.
Easy colour rule
When unsure, use two or three colours across the whole outfit. Black, white, navy, grey, beige and olive are useful foundations because they can be recombined easily.
