In the last article we talked about the basics options you need to know before buying a suit.
Today we’re going to talk about what kind of suit is most flattering on different body types. Some guys have specific needs when it comes clothing that flatter their body type, while others have it fairly easy. Read on if you find it hard to make things look right on your body!
Tall and Skinny
Go For Heavier Fabric
If you’re tall and skinny, get heavier fabrics to add some proportion and additional weight to your body. Lighter fabrics will hang on your body like a thin layer and make you look more frail, so look for fabrics like tweed or a heavier weight worsted wool.
Stick With Light Colors
Lighter colors always make things appear more bulky, so use this to your advantage. Stay away from vertical stripes (that lengthen) and dark colors (that are slimming) and choose a lighter color such as khaki or gray.
Choose A Higher Button Stance
Three buttons will look more flattering on a tall guy because it has height and length that is proportional to his body. You can even go with a two button jacket if you’d like but choose one with a button stance that’s closer to your solar plex than your navel.
