Covering the best ways on how to dress confidant in any body type.

Fashion is about much more than the clothes, it is about expressing your personality and feeling good in the body. The fitness attire can make you feel a million ways better as it fits your distinctive physique. It is important to know your shape and how to wear your clothes to look better and feel even better. This is the breakdown of various male body types and how to feel good dressing each one of them.

1. Athletic Body Type

The athletic physique has broader shoulders, narrower waist and muscular limbs. In case you have the athletic type body, you are to accentuate the shape but not to overpower it.

Style Tips:

Fit: Put on clothes that fit, but not those that are very tight. Shirts that tailor fit around the shoulders and chest are good because they do not stick to your body, but expose the muscles.

Slim-fit or straight-leg jeans: These are items that will help balance the proportions of the lower body. A blazer or a casual jacket will add a sharp look to your ensemble.

Neutral tones: Gray, navy, and charcoal are awfully flattering, as are delicate patterns like pinstripes or small checks.

Accessories: Structured bags or watches will go well with the crisp lines of your figure.

2. Slender Body Figure

Slim men can tend to have narrowed frames, and so the best thing to do is to add body and form to your frame so that you look more confident. This may be able to give an illusion of wide set chest and shoulders.

Style Tips:

Fit: Opt clothes with a little bit of bulk. Straighten out or slightly boxy cuts are preferable to what is construed to be too tight.

Closet Concepts: Layer away! A jacket in a tailored cut with a properly fitted shirt can bring stability to the upper body, whereas cargo pants or looser bottoms in chino material can be more voluminous on the bottom body.

Colors and Patterns: Light shades, such as pastel, or soft neutral colors, can make your look more flattering. It is also interesting to see how different patterns of stripes, such as the horizontal ones, work to give them the illusion of width.

Accessories: Wear something that will attract the eyes upwards and give it additional interest i.e. scarves or bracelets.

3. Stocky Chubby or Barrel Shaped Body

In stocky or broader men, the concern is to balance the proportions and making a more elongated look. The appropriate cuts can go a long way in making one look good and comfortable.

Style Tips:

Fit: Clothes that are slightly tailored are best but over tight or loose clothing is not. A properly fitting shirt or jacket will also make you comfortable, and it will leave you a smooth appearance, i.e., the shirts and jackets will not bunch up underneath.

How to Style It: You can use dark jeans or trousers to complement a fitted, single-breasted blazer that will give the impression of a sleek figure. Baggy pants are not a good idea because they make you bulky.

Colors and Patterns: Use dark and solid colors as they make you look slim. Vertical stripes or narrow patterns are also good to slenderize you

Accessories: Belt should be no too wide, poor ornamentation, not much attention should be paid to the wrists (just like the watch should be really simple and minimalistic with no ornamentation and no too much attention).

4. Round Body Type

A round body is the one that is fuller on the middle part of the body The point of this is to achieve an evened out appearance by emphasizing where you look and feel your best and lessening attention given elsewhere, to where you do not feel your best.

Style Tips:

Fit: Wear something that skims rather than holds on. It should be of a slightly loose fit, so that you can move freely, and so that you are not bulkier.

Clothing Suggestions: Straight-leg pants/chinos need not taper at the lower end. Any v-neck shirt or an open-collar button-down shirt can be used to make the neckline longer and will attract focus upwards.

Colours and Patterns: Dark dense colours such as black, navy, or charcoal have the tendency to make one appear slimmer. Patterns should be small, small prints, and vertical stripes are okay as well.

Accessories: Make sure that you keep the number of accessories to minimum. The simple belt and a watch are the accoutrements that will make the difference and will benefit without drawing attention to your waistline.
