Fashion Tips: The Introduction
Although Thomas Jefferson decreed that "all men were created equal", when it comes to body type and clothing, that bold statement is simply untrue. As a result of having fewer curves, male bodies may vary less in form than women's bodies, but nevertheless, variation does exist and knowing how to dress for your body type as well as which styles to avoid is the key to honing your personal style.
One thing to always keep in mind when shopping for new clothes is that the fit of the garment is its ultimate test. If an expensive jacket just isn't right for your body, it's going to look bad no matter what the price tag. Conversely, a tailor-made garment will complement your body and complexion. Germanicos' master tailors will be able to advise you on styles and colours best suited to you.
Fashion is not a democracy. In the style stakes, no one look exists to make all bodies equally beautiful. However, there are a few decrees that everyone can follow to look their personal best. First, make your tailor your new best friend. No matter what your height or size, only a qualified tailor will be able to ensure your clothes are optimally flattering for your body type. Second, learn what looks good on you and resist jumping on the fad bandwagon (acid-washed, skinny jeans etc.)
It's great to experiment with trendy pieces here and there, but if you try it out in the shop and it doesn't look good, just forget about it and stick to what you know makes you look and feel great. Follow these rules and you'll significantly increase your chances of being voted best-dressed guy around. Find out more information for your particular body type:
