Question 1

What's the difference between cotton twill and poplin shirts?

Accepted Answer

Cotton twill has a diagonal weave that makes it thicker, more durable, and slightly textured, giving it a refined, structured look that holds its shape well. Poplin uses a tighter, flat weave, making it lighter, smoother, and crisper, ideal for formal wear. Twill is better for everyday wear and layering since it resists wrinkles and wear better, while poplin suits dressier occasions where a clean, sharp finish matters more.

Question 2

How do I know if a men's shirt fits properly?

Accepted Answer

A well-fitted shirt has the shoulder seam sitting exactly at the edge of your shoulder bone, not sliding down your arm or pulling toward your neck. The chest and waist should allow you to move freely without excess bunching of fabric. Sleeves should end at your wrist bone, and the collar should fit two fingers comfortably between it and your neck. Check the brand's size chart against your actual chest and shoulder measurements rather than relying on generic S/M/L labels.

Question 3

Is cotton good for hot, humid weather?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cotton is one of the best fabrics for hot and humid climates because its natural fibers allow air to circulate and absorb moisture instead of trapping it against your skin. This keeps you cooler and helps sweat evaporate rather than sit on the fabric. Lighter weaves like poplin work best in extreme heat, while twill offers a good balance of breathability and structure for daily wear in warm conditions.

Question 4

What's the best fabric weight (GSM) for everyday shirts?

Accepted Answer

For everyday shirts, a GSM (grams per square meter) between 120 and 180 offers the best balance of comfort and durability. Lighter fabrics under 120 GSM feel breathable but wear out faster and can be see-through. Heavier fabrics above 180 GSM last longer and feel more substantial but can be too warm for daily wear in hot climates. Cotton twill shirts typically sit in the mid-range, making them a practical everyday choice.

Question 5

Slim fit vs classic fit — which should I buy?

Accepted Answer

Slim fit tapers in at the waist and sits closer to the body, suiting leaner builds and those who prefer a more tailored look. Classic fit runs straighter from chest to waist, offering more room to move and a more comfortable feel for everyday wear. If you're unsure, classic fit is the safer choice since it flatters a wider range of body types without feeling restrictive.

Question 6

How should I wash a cotton shirt so it doesn't shrink or fade?

Accepted Answer

Wash cotton shirts in cold water on a gentle cycle to prevent shrinking and color fading. Avoid bleach, which weakens cotton fibers and dulls color over time. Dry in shade rather than direct sunlight, since UV exposure fades colors faster, and avoid high-heat tumble drying which causes the most shrinkage. A warm iron, if needed, keeps the fabric crisp without damaging the weave.

Question 7

Are SECOO shirts true to size?

Accepted Answer

SECOO shirts are designed to fit true to standard Indian sizing, but we recommend checking the size chart on each product page against your chest and shoulder measurements before ordering, since fit can vary slightly between fabric types. If you're between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended for a more comfortable, classic fit.

Question 8

What's the return or exchange policy if the fit is wrong?

Accepted Answer

SECOO offers exchanges or refunds within 7 days of delivery, provided the garment is unused, unwashed, and has all original tags attached. Refunds are processed within 7 working days of the garment being received back. If a returned item fails the quality check, the return may be declined, so keep the shirt in its original condition until you're sure of the fit.
