A relaxed fit shirt is more than a comfort choice—it’s a statement of ease, confidence, and contemporary attitude. Designed to move with you, it balances refined structure with a free-flowing silhouette, making it ideal for work, weekends, and everything in between.
Why Choose a Relaxed Fit Shirt?
When you choose a relaxed fit shirt, you’re opting for comfort without compromising on style. At Blackberrys, the relaxed-fit design gives you more room through the shoulders, chest and torso— which means you can move with ease, stay confident, and look fresh from boardroom to brunch. Our collection of relaxed fit shirts underlines this with fabrics and cuts engineered for modern men who stay active and aspirational.
Types of Relaxed Fit Shirts Available
In this category, you’ll find a wide selection spanning both formal shirts and casual shirts—every pattern, fabric and collar style tailored by the “Fit Experts”.
1. Product Type: Formal Shirts vs Casual Shirts
- Formal shirts: A formal relaxed-fit shirt retains crisp structure but offers a looser drape, making it ideal for long meetings or travel.
- Casual shirts: Here, the relaxed fit shirt plays more boldly—think weekend looks, city outings, layered over a tee or under a light jacket.
2. Fabric & Pattern Options
- Check: You’ll find relaxed fit check shirts that inject visual rhythm into your wardrobe, yet maintain the easy-going drape of the fit.
- Solid / Stripe / Textured / Printed / Jacquard: From smooth solids to laid-back prints, the relaxed fit shirt lineup at Blackberrys covers all. Patterns like stripes and textures give versatility, while the relaxed cut keeps things comfortable.
- Fabric types: The range includes high-thread-count cotton, linen and blends—so you’ll find a linen shirt or linen formal shirt in relaxed fit for the warmer months, and cotton formal shirts for men for everyday smart wear.
3. Colour Options
Tailored for variety: you’ll find a black relaxed fit shirt, a white relaxed fit shirt, a yellow relaxed fit shirt and more—in patterns or solids. The key is that each colour option retains the relaxed cut and premium build that defines the collection.
Collar Types for Ease and Style
- Classic Collar: safest choice, both formal and smart-casual.
- Cutaway / Semi-Cutaway: more visual breadth at the neckline—works when you want a sharper posture with a relaxed body.
- Button-Down: anchors points, good for relaxed casual.
- Mandarin / Resort Collar: more relaxed vibe, ideal when styling your relaxed fit shirt casually (untucked, sleeves rolled).

FAQs
- What does “relaxed fit” mean in men’s shirts compared to slim or regular fit?
A relaxed fit shirt gives more room in the body, chest and shoulder compared to slim or regular fits. It’s designed for comfort, freedom of movement, and a slightly looser silhouette while maintaining structure. - Can a relaxed fit shirt be styled for formal or office wear?
Yes. A relaxed fit shirt in a solid colour like black or white, in a fine fabric (cotton or linen blend), with a structured collar, works for formal or office settings while giving you extra comfort. - How should a relaxed fit shirt fit across the shoulders, chest and sleeves?
Even though it’s relaxed, the shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder—not drooping. Chest should drape naturally, not balloon. Sleeves should fall to your wrist bone without pulling, and the length should allow a clean tuck or a safe untuck, depending on style. - Are relaxed-fit formal shirts ideal for warm climates or hot weather?
Yes—especially when you pick fabrics like linen or linen blends. A linen relaxed-fit shirt offers breathability and movement, ideal for warm climates or long days. - How do I choose between relaxed fit and other fits for different occasions?
If you prioritise mobility, a comfortable silhouette and modern, relaxed aesthetic (for meetings, creative workspaces or weekends), go relaxed fit. If you require a very tailored silhouette for high-formality, you might choose regular or slim-fit.
