Learn To Dress For Your Body Type!

By Torrey Lee

Dressing for your body type is crucial for men of style. Simply put, the best dressers understand the importance of dressing for body type. This is an essential skill for men of all sizes.

A man's suit should always fit with ease and comfort, a well dressed man will not find it necessary to constantly pull here and adjust there, but instead his clothes should be in constant harmony with his frame. That is why dressing for your body type is so key to men's fashion. You will look awesome and feel confident!

It's important that a man not rely on salesmen to tell him if a garment fits, after all, they ARE salesmen, the way your suit fits is not even of secondary importance to them. They are concerned with a commission while you are concerned with looking great. You need to now your stuff and be able to call your own shots when it comes to dressing for your body type.

Heavy or bigger men often look for clothes that give a "slimming effect" or atleast help hide the plumpness. A few thing he can do is dress in dark, solid or striped, 2-button single breast suits. These are great because they do not draw attention to horizontal lines or a man's bulk. He should look to emphasize height because it draws away from the emphasis on bulk. Wear suits jackets that are cut generously around the waist. Suit pants should be worn at the natural waist(fastens at the belly button or above), this helps to lengthen the leg line(to look taller) and cover the belly.

Men of taller stature often want to avoid looking gangly or gumpy. Some few things they can do is wear heavier cloths and also patterns that are a bit busier, such as plaids and windowpanes, these help make him look fuller and less like a toothpick. Accessorize in detail, his breast pocket should always have a handkerchief, and his shirts should have cufflinks. A tall thin man's jacket shoulders should extend slightly past his natural shoulder width. His jacket should always have atleast 3 outside pockets, some sartorial experts suggest 4. A tall man's suit pants most certainly should always be cuffed atleast an inch and a half.

Shorter men should wear clothes that accentuate length visually and avoid cutting the torso in half. This is easily done. In his case, solids and stripes are his friend. Solids should be a staple of the diminutive man's arsenal, because they make him look taller and leaner. Stripes are great because they encourage the eye to view in a up and down pattern, but take note that the stripes on a suit should be no more than 3/4 of an inch apart and even less for shirts. He looks better in suits than in odd jackets and trousers, because the latter cuts him in half visually, causing him to appear shorter than reality.

Heavily muscular men want to find suits that accommodate their large upper physique without making their waist and lower physique appear large too. This is simple when dressing for your body type. He should look for very lightly padded or unpadded shoulders, others wear padding to make their shoulders look like his, he doesn't need them. Adding extra will only be overkill. He has a large chest, so he should choose suit coats that have a bit of waist suppression (meaning that it comes in towards his waist). This way his waist does not look very wide like his large chest.

Dressing for your body type is both an art & a science. Hours and hours of finely tuned research has been carried out on behalf of men who care to dress in a fine manner. So by all means use it, and remember to have fun while selecting your clothing and stylings. The clothes don't always make the man but they often can!
