WE ARE NOT ALL BUILD THE SAME


Spending thousands of dollars on clothes won t make you look stylish or help you look good if you don t know what clothes to buy and how to wear them to match your natural body . Most importantly , you must accept your body the way it is and dress to fit it , hiding the places that are not appealing and Hiding the parts that are not desirable , we all have parts of our body that are not appealing

learn about your body so that you will learn what clothes to buy for your wardrobe


There are 3 basic shapes for men s bodies ,

Oval shape

, inverted triangle

and a rectangle

As you grow old , you re likely to have each type of the body type , so it s important to learn about all types , identify which shapes defines you , so you can dress up and down your best and have confidence in your bounce , doesn't matter how good good your clothes look , its possible to look clumsy if you don t dress for your body type


HERE ARE THE RULES for all body types:

Rule number 1

KNOW YOUR TAILOR


A good tailor knows how to make clothes that fit you very well . Its wiser to spend more money on your tailor than on clothes themselves if you are worried about clothes that make you look good


Rule number 2

DO NOT FOLLOW TRENDS

What popular right now may not be good for your body type , some fashionable things don t go well with some body types , it s very important to dress to your body than follow fashion cause whatever goes well with your body will always make you look fashionable and comfortable , trying to stick with the times and ignoring your natural shape may be a disaster sometimes


RULE 3

BE REALISTIC

Its okay to be fat and round in the waist , as we grow old we gain fat and we lose our athlete bodies , accepting that will work better for you and will most definitely work for you than against


BODY TYPE 1


OVAL SHAPE


Common among men , oval shape body , has wider waist than shoulders as men grow older they become bigger on the waist , But if there is a chance you can slim at any opportunity please do , not only do clothes look better on slimmer people but its also healthy to maintain a slim body , well its no secret clothes look better on sculptured waist.

Here is how I think you should wear ... Jackets will always make you look cool in this kind of body , They provide structure to the upper body and can be outfitted with all manner of sneaky pads and primps to give you more size in your shoulders . creating greater sense of frame

Avoid anything that cinches too heavily at the waist .

Dark colours are good for people with bigger body frames , so avoid bright colours by all means

Avoid tight fits , anything that's tight is not good for big guys but again do not go too baggy


BODY TYPE 2



INVERTED TRIANGLE:


Most clothes and fashion is built around this body , so being fashionable is easy for these body types.

With this kind of body , you would want clothes that are more revealing most people with this kind of a body are athletes and body builders , make sure not to buy clothes that do not show off your muscular body . show off your body but do not be too much , you worked hard at the gym so let the results be seen , showing too much might be a turn off though , just make sure its not too much, look for clothes fit well , not the type that will show every curve in your body


INCREASE YOUR PANTS

Avoid skinny pants that will highlight your bigger upper body and depleting your skinny lower body, rather try a straight fit that is not too relaxed , While your shirt is showing off your physic your pants must hide you skinny legs


AVOID PRINTS AND COLOURFUL SHIRTS


Colouful shirts will draw attention to your chest , making you lookbig and awkward . keep it simple with flowing colours


BODY TYPE #3


RECTANGULAR


Tall thin guys who are straight drop from shoulders to hips form a relatively small group of rectangular


Do the opposite of the inverted shape

rectangular guys are doing everything they can to give their body a shape unlike the inverted shape , who have it all , look for clothes that gives your body shape , look for shirts that have pads to give your shoulders a shape . Use horizontal stripes and lines to broaden your chest . then cinch your waist to give the sense of a v shaped upperbody


ACCESSORIZE

Since rectangular guys have little to nothing to draw attention to the upper body

, its necessary to work hard to get attention to that side of the body, add pocket pins scarves broad ties , broad necklaces shiny lapel pins, Anything to draw attention to that side of the body , but it must be neat


BULKY CLOTHES NEAR NECK


Adding more mass to your torso is always a fast way to give this body shape a great appeal .Seek out clothes that a bulky near the neckline and taper on the waist.
