Fashion Today: How to dress according to your body type - Part 2

 

Body Shape #2 For Men – INVERTED TRIANGLE 
The shape of this body type is a big triangle with the base at the shoulders and the point at the belly button.

Your well-developed chest and shoulders are significantly broader in comparison to your waist and hips. You probably spend hours at the gym every week working up an enviable muscle pump. Hectic training sessions in the gym result in accentuated shoulders and thighs, and a narrow waist.

Since most manufacturers cater to men who are out of shape, buying clothes off the rack can be challenging for this body type. 

Clothing For Men With Inverted Triangular Body Shape: 
Your goal should be to show off your toned and fit body.

Wear close-fitting clothes that reduce visual clutter and emphasize the clean, sharp lines of your torso. Add bulk to your trim midriff and lower body while balancing the proportions of your well-developed upper body.

• Horizontal stripes: Especially from the chest down, to broaden your comparatively narrow waist.
• Slim-fit shirts: You can wear shirts to show off your incredibly fit body but remember to size up. You want to hint subtly at your fitness, not scream it by wearing figure-hugging costumes.
• Slim cotton polo shirt: With a spandex mix will allow stretch across a broad set of shoulders and chest while creating a tailored look around the waist.
• Regular V-neck T-shirts: The collar shape has a narrowing influence on your chest and draws the eye down and away from the broadest part of your torso. Stay away from plunging V-neck t-shirts.
• Straight-leg trousers and jeans: Skinny jeans will accentuate your chicken legs. Slim fit pants will do just fine. Wearing patterned pants, camo shorts or checked trousers distracts from your comparatively broad upper body.
• Trousers with larger seat drop: Athletes have the common problem of finding pants that are roomy around the groin area. Look for a larger drop measurement between the waistband and the crotch seam.
• Jackets: Slim-fit jackets that follow the natural line of your silhouette, with a bigger difference between the width of the torso and the width of the waist.

Clothing To Avoid For Men With Inverted Triangular Body Shape:

• Structured tailoring: Suit jackets and blazers with shoulder padding and wide especially peak lapels will emphasize your heavy upper body. Unstructured silhouettes work better in streamlining your frame.
• Prints, patterns and scoop necklines: Any kind of detailing, especially around the shoulders will focus attention on your wide frame and throw your body out of proportion.

Finding a good tailor is an indispensable part of building a stylish wardrobe for this body type.
