Understanding Olymp shirt sizing
Like many German shirt manufacturers, Olymp pairs body sizes. This means the shirt body only increases in size every two collar sizes. For example, collars 16 and 16.5 have the same body size, the only difference is the collar size itself. The full details can be found in the size guide on each product page, but the key size pairings are below:
| General Size | Olymp Collar Sizes |
|---|---|
| S | 15 |
| M | 15.5 / 15.75 |
| L | 16 / 16.5 |
| XL | 17 / 17.5 |
| 2XL | 17.75 / 18 |
| 3XL | 18.5 / 19 |
Olymp Luxor Shirts
If it is a formal or smart-casual shirt you’re looking for, Olymp’s Luxor collection is where you’ll find the widest choice of fabrics, colours and patterns. The range is available in two fits: Modern Fit (the standard regular fit) and Comfort Fit (a more generous fit with added room at the chest and waist). Most Luxor shirts are crafted from non-iron pure cotton, though there are also innovative blends with lyocell and elastane. You’ll find everything from breathable poplin, to premium twills, to casual oxfords.
Olymp Luxor Modern Fit Shirts
The Modern Fit is Olymp’s standard regular fit, this is the one to choose if you usually buy regular fit shirts. Contemporary and stylish, it is still comfortable thanks to carefully balanced proportions. The Luxor Modern Fit range includes plains, checks, florals, and a wide choice of collar styles and finishes. If you need something more formal, the Luxor Modern Fit White Double Cuff Shirt is ideal for cufflinks and special occasions.
You can find specific measurements via the size guide button on each product page.
Olymp Luxor Comfort Fit Shirts
For extra room around the chest and waist without extra excess length to the shirt, the Comfort Fit is the right choice. This roomier style goes up to size 22” collar and remains just as stylish. The Luxor Comfort Fit collection offers the same wide range of cloths, colours and trims as the Modern Fit, all in Olymp’s trusted quality.
Olymp Level Five Shirts
If you like a tailored fit without going overly slim, Olymp’s Level Five shirts hit the sweet spot. Darted at the back for a clean silhouette, they offer a refined look that doesn’t feel restrictive. Most Level Five shirts are crafted from cotton with a touch of elastane too for all day comfort. The range has no breast pocket, keeping the look sleek and modern.
Olymp No.6 Super Slim Shirts
As the name suggests, Olymp’s No.6 Super Slim is their truest slim fit. Despite the sharp taper, comfort is preserved thanks to stretch cotton with a touch of elastane.
Olymp Casual Shirts
From soft brushed cottons to lightweight linens, Olymp’s casual shirts are versatile for all seasons - perfect for a country walk, a beach day, or an evening out. Most are cut in a shorter Modern Fit with a scooped hem, making them easy to wear untucked. Some are also offered in the Level Five casual fit, following the tailored proportions of the formal range.
