Understanding your Body Type, Shape and Dressing them

We are all built differently. You know your body type right? Lean, Bulk, or Muscular. And what’s your body shape? Round, Pear, Straight, or V-shaped.

If you have a better understanding of what works for your body type, you can able to easily crack the code to dress well.

The common men’s body types are Ectomorph, Mesomorph, and Endomorph. The Common Men’s body shapes are Round, Pear, Straight, and V-shaped.

If you want some advice on how to dress for each of your body shapes and types, I can say that if you have a round-shaped body, opt for Layer outfits, it’ll balance your look.

If you have a V-shaped body, opt for well-fitted trousers, and don’t add unnecessary additions to your lower body.

You might have seen many tips and advice on how to style your body shape and type, but in my opinion, I’ll say, “It won’t work mostly” Unless you start experimenting on your own.

Yes, More than anyone, you know your body shape and type very well. What works for you and what doesn’t?

If you want to know how to dress for your body shape and type, you have to find it on your own by experimenting with it. Try different styles of clothes. 

Don’t limit yourself by wearing just neutral colors. 

Opt for different colors, different patterns, and different fitted outfits. Baggy, oversized fit, straight fit, ankle fit, slim fit, regular fit, try bespoke.

This is how you will find what works for your body shape and type.

Start with the Basics, then take the Next Step

Everything has a start to complete to enter into the next level. The “Basics”. We never go to college if we don’t complete our schooling. The same goes for everything.

Even it’s applicable for dressing, grooming, self-improvement, and many more. If you want to become a unique and well-dressed man in the room, start by dressing basics.

Instead of trying all stylish fashion trends, try styling:

• Basic well-fitted Dress shirt and pair it with trousers or pants.
• Try different color combinations of outfits
• Wear a basic T-shirt and style them
• Try to enhance the appearance with a few accessories.
• Go to bespoke, hire a professional tailor, and stitch your outfit.

And so on basic things. The same goes for the grooming part. 

Grooming is not easy and gets instant results, etc. You have to be very consistent with whatever grooming practice and routine you follow.

So, start with the basics grooming:

• Have a nice haircut and beard trim once in 4 to 5 weeks.
• Instead of soap, try face wash and body wash.
• Use Sunscreen with SPF-30
• Find your Signature scent
• Drink at least 3 litres of Water daily
• Eat healthy fruits and vegetables

Once you get consistent in doing the basic level of grooming, move on to the advanced level of grooming.

Grooming is the Key

When it comes to looking sharp, grooming is necessary.

You all may have watched many YouTube videos showing consistent grooming routines and better results.

I hope you all have watched at least once. If you see videos like that, you probably think of How they look so clean and neat.

Only a consistent grooming routine is possible to get results like that.

Comes to the word, “grooming” means not only washing the face. No! It’s more than you think. From taking good care of head hair to toenails, everything is grooming.

Yes, this process is huge to achieve. But once you start being consistent, and see results, you will feel that it’s worth the effort.

Here are a few tips for Grooming:

• Haircare: Choose the right hairstyle that suits your face shape. Have regular haircuts and beard trims once every 4 to 5 weeks. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner three times a week. Be gentle with your hair. Choose the right haircare products, and avoid chemicals contained in them.
• Skincare: Eat healthy fruits and vegetables to maintain healthy skin. Use gentle facial cleansing twice a day. Use a face scrub once or twice a week to remove dead skin and clogged pores.
• Moisturizing: Keep your skin hydrated by using good skin moisturizers.
• Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the sun’s UV rays by using sunscreen SPF-30 or higher.
• Water: Drink at least 3 liters of water every day to keep your body hydrated.

Consider Fit over Fashion Trends

You may have seen so many fashion trends like oversized clothing, military wear, cargo pants, and so on, ruling the fashion world. I know you may wish to try new fashion trends.

But well-fitted clothing that is specially tailored for you will beat all the fashion trends.

It doesn’t mean that you should not try any fashion trends. I’m saying that even the best fashion trends that don’t fit you will make you look sloppy.

A Right-fit outfit will instantly make you look unique. 

Some people know what works for you and some people don’t. That’s why consulting a professional stylist or tailor is necessary.

If the clothes you wearing don’t make you feel good and comfortable, don’t wear them. The Right fitted clothes will not only make you look good but also make you feel good.

So, opt for well-fitted clothes that are personalized just for you.

Understanding How Color Works

Colors play the fashion game well. But most of us, even myself, struggled to find the right color combination outfits. But it doesn’t have to be that hard. 

If you can able to understand how color works and the color wheel, you can effortlessly mix and match various color combinations.

Understanding the color wheel doesn’t have to be hard. These are the basic colors that you should know:

• Neutral colors: Black, White, Grey, Tan, Navy, Khaki, and Beige.
• Complementary colors: The opposite colors in the color wheel. For instance, Red and green, blue and orange.
• Monochromatic colors: Different shades in the same color palette.
• Analogous colors: Colors that are next to each other in the color wheel.
• Triadic colors: Choosing three colors that are evenly shaped in the color wheel.

To make it easy for you, I’m listing some of the best unique color combinations for men to try:

• Black and Grey: Unique color combination works well in formal settings.
• Olive green and White: The Charming color combination you must try.
• Mustard Yellow and Brown: A Warm and stylish color combination for men.
• Tan and Light Blue: A Cool vibe mixed with warmth classy.
• Maroon & Beige: A Bold and Subtle color combination.

Likewise, I can able to list down endless color combinations. 

Also, you can try these combinations as well. But whatever color combination you find, if it doesn’t work well on you. Avoid! Each of us has a different color skin tone. 

Some are white, some are brown, some are dark skin tones, and some are pinkish. Finding the right color combination that works for your skin tone is all that matters.

Try experimenting with new color combinations and find the one that works well for your skin tone.

Invest in Quality over Quantity

The goal is not to buy 50 low-quality pieces of clothing that last after a few times of wearing it.

The goal is to buy 5 High-quality clothes and maintain them for a longer period.

Even if it’s an inner vest you buying, spend a few extra pence to buy a high-quality one. It’ll last longer than you thought.

You may think why should I spend? I can buy cheap clothes and spend that money on some other things. But what you do not know is that low-quality clothes don’t last long.

After a few times usages, it’ll get torn or color fade. Then you should probably have to buy other clothes to wear. It’ll cost you extra money.

This is why quality matters. If you buy a good quality shirt by spending a few extra dollars, it’ll last not for months, but over a year.

Moreover, quality clothes don’t have to be expensive. If you dig deep on the internet, you’ll find many brands that offer high-quality clothes for an affordable price.

Watch out for the Details

To look sharp, every corner and detail counts. From head to toe, you need to check every detail to rectify anything that makes your appearance break.

From neatly haircut, and beard trim to nicely trimmed toenails, you should look out. Here are the details you should look out for:

• Ensure you choose a hairstyle that suits your face shape; maintain it by getting a trim every 4-5 weeks.
• Make sure to trim your nose and ear hair properly to avoid looking uncool and embarrassed.
• To maintain a well-groomed appearance, it’s important to properly trim and shape your beard.
• Remove blackheads from your nose; It’ll not make you look good.
• Ensure you are not sweating; it’ll ruin your outfit.
• It is important to brush your teeth the right way to maintain good oral hygiene. Make sure to take your time and clean all surfaces of your teeth properly.
• To avoid body odor, it is important to take a daily bath and use your preferred fragrance or talc powder.
• It is important to wear clothes of good quality that are neat, ironed, and well-fitted.
• Clean and well-polished shoes are necessary.

These are the details that you should look out for. And a lot more like perfectly folded sleeves, well-tucked-in shirts, strainless collars, and many more.

If you look at these details and fix them, you are halfway there to give a sharp and unique appearance.

Clothing Maintainance

If you invest in good-quality clothes and are willing to wear them for a longer period, you need to take good care of them.

Each clothing is considered to be maintained by a few instructions based on the material. So, always consider following the instruction label on your garment.

If you want to maintain your clothes for a longer period, you need to consider properly cleaning your clothes, ironing, and storing them will help to prevent damage and increase the life of your clothes.

No Graphic Tees, Logos, or Branding

You may have probably seen many good well-dressed men around you in daily life. 

But have you noticed that these types of unique guys’ clothes? Do they wear any type of clothes that have graphics, big logos, or branding?

Never! Their style always makes a statement wherever they go. 

Only because of this fine, together clothes that don’t have any graphic elements like designs, big logos, or branding.

• Instead of Graphic tees, Opt for Plain colored T-shirts
• Instead of big logos or branding on shirts, opt for plain ones.

These graphic elements on your garments will get all the attention, I hope your goal is not to promote the brand, Right?

The clothes you wear must elevate your appearance and make you look unique, not the clothes that get all your attention to the graphic elements and leave you behind.

Shoes Matter a Lot

To complete the outfit, you must wear the right shoes.

But you don’t have to buy every type of shoe for your wardrobe. You need to consider investing in the right shoes based on your lifestyle.

Let’s say you’re a professional guy who mostly attends business or client meetings, you should opt for well-polished dress shoes, penny loafers, derbies, oxfords, or monk straps.

For casuals, opt for sneakers, converse, or boots. Once you have the shoes you’ve chosen, you will never go out of shoe options to match your outfit.

Bespoke

Fit is the number 1 factor that will make you look good. 

But you won’t find the right fit in readymade, that’s why you need to try Bespoke.

To enhance your body type, you need to wear the clothes that fit you. Unfortunately, readymade clothes are not specially tailored for you.

Buy high-quality fabric material and hire a professional tailor who is going to stitch the tailor-made outfit for you. 

It might cost you a few more dollars, but trust me, it’ll be worth every penny you spend.

Tailor-made outfits have the transformative power to elevate your style, creating a sharp and unique appearance. 

Unlike readymades which are manufactured in bulk in common such as S, M, L, or XL fit sizes, Bespoke outfits are tailored to your measurements, ensuring the perfect fit accentuates your body type and shape. 

This personalized touch of tailor-made clothing allows you to express your unique taste and personality through fabric choices, stitching details, and customized features.

Tailor-made outfits emerge as the key to helping you present yourself with both refinement and individuality.

Accessories Make the Difference

Accessories have the powerful ability to enhance your overall appearance. Adding a few accessories that do not overflow your appearance, will give you a sharp look.

But you need to know How to accessorize the Right Way. Accessories can make or break your overall appearance. 

Adding a few accessories like 1 Classic watch, 2 High-quality rings, and 1 Subtle bracelet are enough to elevate your appearance. 

Based on the occasion, outfit, and dressing up you can add a few other accessories like a necklace, necktie, belt, hat, cufflinks, pocket square, and so many others.

If you want to look sharp, always wear a unique classy watch. No matter what outfit you’re wearing, a classic watch will elevate the outfit effortlessly.

A Watch is always a better and worthy investment in your wardrobe.

Nothing matters if you don’t know how to showcase them. Confidence! Put together your outfit, you should showcase it confidently while you are around people.

But How do you showcase yourself confidently? Here is how:

• Be confident and Watch straight like you know where you are going. Not like, I don’t know, “where am I going”.
