Button gaping can result from tension across the chest; compare the garment measurements, cut and button placement together.

Start with the size chart
Find the chart for the specific shirt and establish whether it describes body or garment measurements. Do not compare a body circumference directly with a flat width without understanding the measurement method and desired ease.
Look at tension points
Compare the fullest chest position with the buttons shown in the product images. Fabric may pull apart between buttons even when the button closes. A photo alone cannot establish fit on another body.
Use a reference garment
Lay a comfortable buttoned shirt flat and measure across under the arms from edge to edge. Record the width and method; compare with the chart only if measured the same way. Equal numbers do not make two cuts identical.
Specify your preference
