Male Body Types

Fellas!! do you know your body type and how to dress according to your body shape? Was that a no? Well you better get reading then. If your answer was a yes go on ahead and read away you might just learn something new.

Trapezoid-shaped is a Male with broad shoulders, bulky arms with narrow hips. Well proportioned.

Shopping for this body type is known to be pretty easy as most brands tend to have this body shape in mind when designing their collection.

A simple top or shirt with jeans are always a easy and safe option to go to for a day to day look. Its very basic and versatile at the same time.

You can always throw a blazer, cardigan, jumper or a smart jacket over it with a smart shoes or a classic white trainers if your going for the edgy look.When it comes to jeans please remember not to go too fitted to avoid bulk.

Having a narrow waist-line means it might be hard to find the right trousers to fit so it's wise to get measured or invest in a good belt. Not all ladies like to see your underwear showing.

Rectangular-shape. (Also known as ruler) straight from top to bottom with the chest, hips and waist all around the same size.

When styling this body shape try to avoid baggy clothes and go for more semi fitted. You can choose something high neck as this will add width to your chest area. I wouldn't recommend extra baggy clothes and long tops you don't want to come across as "lanky" . Look for shirts where the shoulder seam sits just over your natural shoulder line as this will help make your shoulder look naturally broader.

I wouldn't recommend flares either as they will unbalance your streamline figure.

Dorito-shape. Wide shoulders, narrow hips and tight buttocks with small legs.

The key thing for shopping for this body type is to keep in mind that you want to balance out the whole body. You dont want to come across as top heavy so stay away from super tight tops and keep it loose on the bottoms. I wouldn't recommend to wear a lot of dark colours especially on your bottom half as dark colours are known to make you look slimmer and will make your legs look even smaller.

Oval-shape Males with large upper arms, rounded stomach and slimmer legs in comparison with your upper half and flat buttocks.

When shopping keep comfort and fashion as your main aim. Try to avoid low rise jeans with buttons as these tend to fit tight and can be uncomfortable on the stomach.

Do invest in V neck tops with long sleeves. they will create the illusion of a slimmer silhouette, and also if you have a short neck it will make the neck appear longer. V neck tops with a loose pair of dark jeans and a oversized trench coat looks good on your body shape.
