It suggests shifting the focus to a man’s gut reduces his desirability.
The team said a waist-to-chest ratio (WCR) of between 0.7 and 0.8 - where the shoulders are around 20 percent broader than the hips - was seen as the ideal.
Nottingham Trent University psychologist Dr Andrew Dunn said: ‘The wider barred ‘T’ seems to emphasize the upper chest when upright, which accentuates men’s ‘optimum’ shape. The opposite happens when inverted.
‘WCR is one of just a number of body measures that humans use to judge attractiveness and health.
'Our ability to detect, process and use this information appears to be implicit.
'The brain and sensory mechanism underpinning this are probably evolved and are almost certainly managing what we look for and how we respond.
‘The effect was most notable for normal men with a waist as wide as their shoulders.
Whereas with those who are already in good shape, the T was simply amplifying the body shape they already had, so the benefit was less marked.’
The study involved showing 30 female undergraduates, aged 18 to 25, images of five different male body shapes and asked them to mark their perceived attractiveness and health.
Each male model wore a plain white t-shirt with no T, and with an upright and inverted T-illusions of varying shapes and sizes.
The results showed that upright T-illusions increased attractiveness and health perceptions. Dr Dunn said the horizontal bar on the T-shirt had to be as equal or longer than the vertical bar for optimum effectiveness.
