Delving Deeper: Dressing for Men

Men don't have as much variety in shape as women do. Lucky for them. Basically, you have your two basic widths, fat and skinny, and your two basic heights, tall and short. Complex, I know. ^.~

BIGGER MEN
-Avoid all shirts with stripes other than vertical. Vertical is what you want. You love vertical stripes.
-Wear regular cut jeans.
-Please: wear things that fit you. No baggy clothes, no tight clothes. Both will just make you look even larger.
-Avoid T-shirts with prints on them (for example, Hawaiian T's). You don't need the eyes drawn to your bulk.
-Try wearing V-neck shirts. Thin fabrics are best for you.
-Keep your outfits color-coordinated. This isn't to say you should dress like Paris Hilton, just that you should avoid wearing colors together that contrast. Keep to the same color palate.

THINNER MEN
-You are the only group that can ever get away with horizontal stripes. Choose them wisely. A larger stripe across the chest will make you seem buffer.
-Vary your color palate--you can get away with a variety of colors in your outfit at once.
-Avoid loose shirts. Try to wear only fitted clothing.
-Lighter colors will make you look bigger. I don't know why guys always want to look bigger; I like skinny guys myself. But whatever. If you're feeling too anorexic-looking, wear paler colors.
-JUST SAY NO to skinny jeans. I'm sorry, but they are not for you.

Have fun looking awesome!
