Fierce faith clothes, including T-shirts, jackets, and hats, have become a staple for the men in our community, and they’re a great way to showcase your faith, regardless of your faith.
But it’s important to remember that they’re only for men.
And because they’re not meant to be worn by everyone, you’ll need to know how to find the right pair.
1.
Know What’s Up in the Church (and Why) When shopping for a faith-inspired t-shirt, you should be sure to check to make sure that it’s for men, and not women.
“The main thing you should look for is the shirt’s color,” said Tami Visser, co-founder and CEO of Vissers.
“If it’s gray or light-green, it’s definitely for men.”
While men and women can wear the same faith-themed t-shirts at the same time, Vissler said, they tend to wear them differently.
“For women, they may want to wear the colors a little lighter, which is not for men,” she said.
For men, she said, a darker color is best, as well as an olive, blue, or green color.
The key, she says, is finding a shirt that reflects the faith in your community.
The church that you are a part of is important, Vessers said.
“So if your church is really close to you, you want to look for something that’s going to resonate with your local community.”

Choose Your Favorite Color If you’re not sure which color to pick, Vossers suggests picking a color that “is a little different for each person.”
For example, she suggested choosing a light gray t-side and a dark gray t.
That way, you can find the appropriate shirt that’s perfect for you.
“It doesn’t have to be something that will fit your body perfectly,” she explained.
“A lighter shirt can be a bit more flattering, but it’s also more feminine and masculine.”
The more vibrant the color, the more comfortable you will be wearing it, Vssers said, and you should consider purchasing at least three shirts a month, for at least a year.
“You want to be sure that you have enough shirts to wear all the time,” she added.
3.
Get The Right Shirt Size The shirts you choose will be the size you’ll be wearing when you’re out in public, but the shirt should be comfortable for you and fit you well.
“There are two different ways to go about it,” Visses said.
You can go with a medium or large size, which are “not as wide as a medium,” and you can go up a size, depending on your personal preferences.
“When you are at church, you may have a different size that suits you better,” Vesser added.
“But for church events, if you go down a size that fits, you will feel like you are wearing a different shirt.”
“When we’re going to church, we have to wear shirts that are a size smaller than our bodies, so we need to make adjustments to make the shirts that fit our bodies,” she emphasized.
You may also want to consider buying a thicker shirt that goes over your shirt.
“We always recommend buying shirts that go over the shirt that we’re wearing,” Vsser said.

Choose a Brand That’s a Match For Your Community The last thing you want is to buy a t-suit that’s too small, too big, or just plain too big.
“Just because you’ve got a different style doesn’t mean you should wear a different one,” Vosser explained.
You want to pick a shirt for a size range that you’re comfortable in, and that will be comfortable to wear, but also that’s comfortable for your family and friends.
“And then if you want something that has a little bit more of a trend, like a cool, trendy, or trendy-looking look, you might want to buy something with that look in mind,” she suggested.
If you want a shirt with a specific fit, Vyser said, “try something with a larger collar than a medium collar, or a smaller collar than an medium collar.”
“If you’re looking for something a little more formal, try something with longer sleeves, like the sleeves go down to the knees,” she advised.
You’ll need some fabric that will keep your shirts from unraveling if they get sweaty or cold, so you’ll want to invest in a fabric that’s breathable.
“Always be on the lookout for something with moisture-wicking qualities,” she noted.
