           Variations of classic and slim-fit shirts refer to differences in the fit and silhouette of the shirt. Here’s a comparison
           between classic and slim-fit shirts:
           1  Fit: Slim fit shirts are more tailored and closely fitted to the body. They have narrower cuts through the chest,
              waist, and hips, creating a sleek and modern silhouette.
           2  Silhouette: The silhouette of a slim fit shirt is narrower and more tapered compared to a classic fit shirt. It
              accentuates the natural contours of the body for a more tailored look.

           3  Sleeves: The sleeves of a slim fit shirt are slimmer and have less excess fabric compared to a classic fit shirt.
              They are designed to follow the shape of the arm closely for a sleek appearance.
           4  Shoulders: The shoulder width of a slim fit shirt is slightly narrower compared to a classic fit shirt. This helps
              to create a more streamlined look without excess fabric in the shoulder area.
           5  Style: Slim fit shirts are popular for their modern and fashionable appearance. They are ideal for individuals
              who prefer a more tailored look or want to achieve a sleek silhouette.
           Overall, both classic and slim-fit shirts offer different styles and fits to cater to individual preferences and body
           types. Classic fit shirts provide a comfortable and timeless look, while slim fit shirts offer a more tailored and
           contemporary appearance.
           Slim fit men’s shirts come in various styles and designs to suit different tastes and occasions. Here are some
           variations:
           1  Classic Slim Fit Shirt: This is the standard slim fit shirt, with a tapered waist and narrower sleeves for a
              tailored look.
