How to visually
slender the silhouette?
The perfect silhouette stopped to be a desire only of women long time ago. Men became more and more aware of the fact that look, hiding the imperfections, 'losing' a few extra pounds can be advantageous during the life and career. It's not only about the perfect look but about the higher self-esteem. Not to mention that a nicely dressed person will do a significantly better first impression, which can be very useful.
A perfect body is reserved for few, but both men and women can do a bit of magic and look way better. First of all, we need to debunk a few myths before we start to create a perfect wardrobe. Black colour is not always a reliable ally when we try to hide extra pounds. On the contrary, it can be troublesome. A black styling can be overwhelming and make the impression that our face is tired and out of colour. It's worth to remember that a perfectly dressed person shouldn't look mediocre and hide into the crowd behind dark and dull colours. Crucial is to shift attention away from certain imperfections and underline your best features.
The most problematic thing is usually the belly that combined with short height can be deadly for a styling. In such situations, you should try to visually lengthen your silhouette. Monochromatic outfits are the best solution. Men's trousers, a T-shirt and a long sleeve shirt in the same colours, but in different shades. This is the best method to “add” a few extra centimetres to your look.
Resign from the oversized clothes. Regardless of your weight and body type, men's clothes should be fitted – not too small and not too large. The oversized clothes don't always hide the imperfections and though the silhouette may seem to be larger and heavier than it really is. However, you shouldn't give up completely on the slim-fit cuts. Although, a close-fitted T-shirt or skinny jeans are not the best ideas, a slim-fit long sleeve shirt or a side-cut suit jacket can effectively improve your body proportions.
In hiding extra pounds your friends can be surely vertical stripes and pinstripes. They usually work best with shirts. However, you should definitely give up on bright and juicy colours and tiny patterns that can overwhelm your silhouette. A styling with a suit jacket usually goes well with a plain shirt or a less formal V-neck T-shirt that both visually slender your body and is extremely trendy. While choosing a casual suit jacket pay attention to its size. It cannot be too large and should be well-fitted in the shoulders. Details also matter, so keep an eye on them. Which in particular? Arm-length, a fastening (one or two buttons) and lapels width. Not less important is to keep the body proportions and being a plus size person requires avoiding trendy narrow lapels in a suit jacket.
An interesting trick, which in a blink of an eye provides you with a slender look, is to wear a dark shirt or a T-shirt with a bright suit jacket. Another good idea for getting a decent look is to match a colourful T-shirt with a dark blazer or a sporty jacket. It's trendy, stylish and at the same time a really eye-catching match-up. Resign from details. Why? They cast attention on the waist - it's not desirable. Patched pockets, a double-breasted fastening, inserts and a waist drawstring – all of them will only underline imperfections. Instead of that, place a bet on a minimalistic look that fits almost every man and body, regardless of age.
If it comes to casual wear, try on the multi-layered sets. A V-neck longsleeve, a casual suit jacket or a lightweight jacket will visually improve your look and create an effect of casual and laid-back style. Outerwear provides you with a large choice of jackets and coats. The best ones will be close-fitted coats, stylish husky and trendy parka jackets. You should resign from short, quilted and puffer jackets and sporty vests in strong colours. They are trendy and eye-catching but they look amazing only worn by a slim person.
