Style is not only the ability to correctly combine clothes, not only a way to broadcast your inner world with clothes, but also the ability to emphasize your advantages with clothes and hide your shortcomings. There are virtues in both the female and male figure. For example, surprisingly, some men take pride in their athletic calves. Women love not only the male brain, but also the correct proportions of the male figure.

There are many types of female figure, each of them can be attractive, it is not necessary to be the owner of the "hourglass" figure. But for men, it is still important that the shoulders are wide and the hips are narrow.

Verticals

Verticals are not only stripes on clothes, but also vertical fasteners, open-cut jacket and coat hemlines, image in one color, V-neck, elongated top. They help increase height, reduce visual weight, lengthen legs, stretch and slim a certain area.

Examples: Greg Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana.

Horizontal lines

The horizontals help to enlarge, expand a certain area, add volume to the figure in the right place. For a male figure, horizontal lines will help correct narrow shoulders. For example, a vest can visually expand the shoulder girdle.

Examples: Louis Vuitton, Dior Men, Paul Smith

Approximation

The zoom effect enlarges a certain area, draws attention to the desired area. Warm and light colors, glossy textures create an approximation effect. Metallic shine is in trend. If the plus of the figure is wide shoulders, then the top with a metallic sheen will perfectly help to emphasize the dignity of the figure.

Examples: Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Prada

Distancing

The distance will help to reduce a certain area, make it slimmer. Cold and dark colors, matte texture will help, for example, visually reduce wide hips, if you wear a white T-shirt, and black trousers or jeans underneath. It is also good in this case not to tuck the T-shirt into the trousers.

Shifting attention

By shifting our attention, we divert our eyes from imperfections, which will allow us to balance the figure. Helps to transfer attention, for example, to a beautiful face, not only the correct hairstyle, but also large accessories (scarf, earring, chain). Active decor, bright color or unusual shape of the shoe will also attract attention. Passers-by will not look you in the eye if you are the first in your city to wear trendy men's high boots.

Accentuation

Focusing on the area that needs to be emphasized also helps to draw attention to the merits of the figure. Accessories, decor, color and prints help in highlighting.

Accent below the belt:

Examples: Engineered Garments, Dolce & Gabbana



Accent above the waist when there are problems with the shape of the legs. Examples: Engineered Garments, Dolce & Gabbana.



Accent from Louis Vuitton, Dior Men, Fendi brooch, belt, hats, bright sweater.

Demonstration

Demonstration, as a technique, to demonstrate, for example, beautiful hands, we open them. Transparency is also suitable, this option is for rare occasions, for example, for a corporate event, a party or a beach holiday. Men often like to show off a pumped-up figure with tight T-shirts, draw attention to the groin with accentuated belts.

Maximizing

Maximizing, helps to create volume and in contrast, to make the figure slimmer. Oversized reception is suitable for maximization. Example: Dolce & Gabbana.

Correspondence

The principle of conformity will make the figure slimmer and more harmonious. You need to choose prints and accessories commensurate with the figure.

Broad shoulders

Broad shoulders can be emphasized with horizontal lines in the shoulder girdle area, choose light colors for the top and products with a clear shoulder girdle.

Inflated chest

To emphasize, you need to wear tight-fitting T-shirts, turtlenecks, T-shirts, clothes with a V-neck.

Firm glutes and pumped hips

Choose fitting and semi-fitted trousers, tuck shirts and T-shirts into trousers, choose belts with contrasting colors.

Beautiful hands

Beautiful hands need to be opened with T-shirts, sleeves rolled up on shirts. Examples: Dolce & Gabbana, GmbH.

Athletic and slim legs

Women do not often pay attention to slender legs, but they can be emphasized with shorts, accent shoes, unusual trousers, chains on the belt. Examples from Dolce & Gabbana.

Hide flaws

Shifting attention, emphasizing, vertical will help to hide flaws.

Long neck

Horizontal prints, scarves, turtlenecks will help to hide a long neck. No need to use verticals in the face area, wear clothes with a V-neck.

Correction examples from Dolce & Gabbana, Dior Men, Hermès.

Narrow shoulders and back

Blazers with shoulder pads, voluminous sleeves, horizontal lines in the shoulder area, and a large geometric pattern will help to correct narrow shoulders.

Examples from Engineered Garments, Gabriela Hearst, Dolce & Gabbana.

Thinness

Light layering and oversized reception will help to hide thinness, but you need to understand that if you wear a voluminous jacket and tight-fitting trousers, this will only emphasize the asthenic physique.

Correction examples from Gabriela Hearst, Greg Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana.

Belly and sides

If there is excess weight in the abdomen and sides, then it is better to shift attention to the legs, use vertical cut lines. Do not use patch pockets in the abdomen, do not focus on the waist with a belt, do not wear tight things and clothes made of thin fabrics. We do not wear large prints in the belly area, trousers with an elastic band. We wear clothes outside, cardigans, long jackets.

Wide hips

To hide wide hips, do not wear tight clothes, no matter the top or bottom, nothing is necessary. Let there be vertical lines on the trousers, for example, arrows, and on the clothes with a straight cut.

Short stature

Short stature is leveled by trousers with arrows, monochrome images. You don't need to use a large drawing, it will stretch the shape horizontally.

Examples from Engineered Garments, Brioni, Dolce & Gabbana.

Thick legs

If your legs are full, it is best not to wear shorts and tight-fitting trousers.

O-shaped and X-shaped legs

O-shaped legs in men cause less rejection than X-shaped legs. Wide trousers, long culottes, shifting the accent upward will help to hide the flaw.

Excess weight

Excess weight can be corrected, a full figure can have the correct proportions, they need to be emphasized. Vertical accents, semi-fitted cut, medium density fabrics are visually slimmed down. Do not use embossed thick materials, fur, coarse knitting.

Sloping shoulders

Sloping shoulders will help to visually straighten products with a rigid shoulder girdle.

Love yourself, but do not forget that some of our problems can be corrected by clothes. Knowledge of stylistic techniques will help hide flaws from others and emphasize the dignity of the figure.
