Dress for your body type
Every man has a problem area on his body that he would like to hide, for instance a large stomach can ruin the look of any outfit. Choosing the right cuts and styles can take pounds of your silhouette, if you take time to select outfits that are the most flattering for your shape.
If your bulky around the middle then follow men’s fashion tips on how to dress for your body shape, for a new sleeker you.
Tops
Try and divert the eye away from the stomach by wearing jackets and blazers which fall below your bottom, and are well adjusted around your waist area.
Avoid double-breasted jackets, which will accentuate your stomach
Go for light fabrics and dark colors if you want to slimline your torso
Horizontal stripes are your enemy rather than your friend. Vertical stripes will elongate your body. Pinstripe shirts can be slimming, especially when teamed with dark color pants.
Large, busy prints in shirts will only serve to accentuate your stomach.
Avoid bulky knits and go for something more slimming like a dark cashmere sweater.
Long-sleeve T-shirts will make your body look more proportioned than sleeveless or short-sleeves which will draw attention to your mid-section.
Bottoms
Choose a low-rise style that sits on your hips instead of around your tummy.
Don’t let your stomach spill out over your trouser waistband; this only serves to bring attention to your torso and has a shortening effect on your legs. If necessary, go a size up and wear a belt with a small buckle, so as not to add extra bulk.
Wearing trousers that are tight or very baggy will only to serve to highlight your tummy. Invest time and energy in finding the best fit.
Go to denim jeans with a looser shape that will skim your body rather than cling to it. Choose a slightly wide-legged style rather than a flare or skinny leg jean, as this will give more proportion and balance to your body.
Body basics for every figure:
Loud, bright colors and patterns can make you look ridiculous. You can’t go wrong with basic black and navy blue for work or casual, it’s classic for a reason. You can add attractive colors for a perfect match.
The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits. Make sure everything your wear is almost hugging the lines of your body-without being tight.
Experiment with style, the only way you will really learn is if you go out shopping and try new things.
