You might look like that model from the cover of a fashion magazine and might not have a body to die for. But that should not stop you from dressing up smartly and looking your best. Nobody has a perfect body and dressing according to your body type is the key to looking like a million bucks. This short guide will help you out:
- For triangular body shape: For men who are larger around the waist and hip area when compared to their upper body, getting the proportions right is the key. Clothing pieces like tailored patterned blazers, vertical stripes, and jackets with structures shoulders would look great on them. They should choose styles that draw attention to their upper body like crew neck tees with colour panels, shirts with panels or detailing across the chest. Avoid skinny fits in jeans and trousers and polo neck t-shirts.
- Inverted triangle body type: For those having wider shoulders and a slimmer waist, close-fitting clothes work well. Wear horizontal stripes, especially from chest down, slim fit shirts, polo shirts, V neck T-shirts, and straight leg trousers and jeans. Slim fit jackets will also accentuate your appearance. Avoid heavy detailing on neck or shoulders and also scoop necklines. Suits and jackets should be worn without the padding.
- Rectangular body shape: Rectangular shaped bodies have the same width at the waist and at the shoulders. Men with such body type are usually tall and thin. They would look good in horizontal stripes, layered clothing, and structured tailored pieces. Single breasted styles in suits work best for them.
- Oval body shape: For men with heavier bellies and torso, clothing should be such that gives them a slim and framed look. Tight fitted clothing for the torso should be avoided. Such men should ditch busy prints for solid colours. They should opt for trousers instead of jeans. Tailored shirts and dark, single-breasted jackets should be their pick.
