Learn English – what is the difference between “that shirt looks good on you” & “you look good in that shirt”

meaningphrase-meaning

I often hear people say "you look good in that shirt"

But recently, I have heard a native speaker say "that shirt looks good on you".

So:
what is the difference between "that shirt looks good on you" & "you look good in that shirt"?

Best Answer

There's no real difference, but in the first example the emphasis is a bit more on the "shirt" (the shirt looks good) and in the second one on "you" (you look good).
