Too tight around the shoulders. Too short when you raise your arms. Too loose and shapeless everywhere else.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone; and you don’t have to settle.

At MIDAundici, we’ve spent years designing t-shirts that work with your body, not against it.
Here’s how to build a wardrobe that looks sharp, feels comfortable, and keeps your confidence front and centre.

The #1 issue bigger guys face? Length and movement

One of the biggest concerns we hear from our customers:

“When I lift my arms, my belly shows.”

To tackle this, we design our t-shirts slightly longer than standard, not just to hide anything, but because:

• It makes the tee look more elegant

• It can be worn tucked in for a smarter style

• It stays put when you move, instead of riding up

This small difference in length makes a huge difference in confidence whether you’re reaching for a drink, stretching, or dressing up for dinner.

Fit: Balance, not baggy

Baggy hides nothing; it just makes you look wider.
Super-tight pulls across the chest or belly. The right answer is:

• Relaxed fit: roomy through the shoulders and chest, gently following the body below

• Proper shoulder width: seams that sit on the shoulder, not down your arm

• Enough length to stay tucked (or half-tucked) when you want

We especially recommend our M555 and M553 relaxed fit tees.
They’re cut to flatter larger frames naturally with slightly broader shoulders and a gently draped body.

Colour & dye that work for you

Deep tones and unique finishes can slim and elevate your look:

• Navy, charcoal, olive, dark burgundy: classic choices that visually slim

• Earthy dyes: add character and softness without drawing attention to your stomach

• Our M553 uses a special dyeing technique that creates depth and variation making it look uniquely yours but always refined

• Avoid: Horizontal stripes, large patterns, and bright colours, as these can draw attention to your size.

Fabrics that drape, not cling

We choose heavier-weight cotton because it:

• Holds its shape better

• Drapes naturally over the stomach and chest

• Feels substantial (not paper-thin)

• Avoid: Synthetic fabrics, as they can cling to your body and accentuate your size. They can also smell more than natural fabrics.

Light, stretchy blends tend to stick to the belly; structured cotton keeps your silhouette clean.

Layer smartly (and stylishly)

Layering isn’t about hiding — it’s about framing:

• Open overshirt or shacket: breaks up your torso with a vertical line, making you look taller

• Blazer or field jacket: defines shoulders and adds structure

• Base layer: a fitted undershirt can smooth lines under a tee

Francesco's tip: “An open overshirt is your best friend, it adds shape without bulk and works casually or smart.”

 

 

Necklines & details

• V-necks: subtly break up the chest area, elongating your neck

• Crew necks: classic, best when paired with a jacket

• Henleys: add texture and keep eyes moving up

Build from the bottom up

• Straight-leg jeans or chinos: balance your top half without clinging

• Mid-rise waist: avoids the “overhang” look and sits comfortably

• Belts: help define the waist and add polish

Accessories

• Watches: choose a face that suits your wrist, larger frames look great on bigger guys

• Shoes: chunkier trainers or boots can balance a broader upper body

• Scarves & hats: add personality and direct the eye upward

Additional Tips:

• Focus on fit: The most important thing is to find clothes that fit you well. Don't be afraid to get your clothes tailored to ensure a perfect fit.

• Pay attention to details: Small details like cuffing your sleeves, tucking in your shirt, or adding a belt can make a big difference in your overall appearance.

• Experiment with different styles: Don't be afraid to try new things and step outside your comfort zone. You might be surprised at what looks good on you.
  

• Dress up: Dressing up can make a big difference in how you look and feel.
  

• Confidence is key: The most important thing is to feel confident in your own skin. When you feel good about yourself, it will show in your appearance.

What sizes do we offer? And what’s next

Today, we offer larger sizes for select retailers in some countries.
We’re currently exploring adding XXL and beyond to our main range and we’d love your feedback on which sizes you’d want to see.

Confidence isn’t optional — it’s the whole point

Our founder Francesco says:

“A t-shirt is simple, but it isn’t basic. When it fits right, you forget the shirt and remember how you feel.”

At MIDAundici, we design with that in mind:

• Slightly longer cuts to stay put

• Relaxed fits shaped for real bodies

• Elegant finishes that move between smart and casual

So you don’t have to think about your clothes, you just get to live in them.
