A Man’s Physical Characteristics

Style starts with what you were born with.  To try to fight this is an exercise in frustration.  If you look terrible in tight, hip-high jeans, wearing them isn’t going to make you stylish no matter how “in” they are this year.  You have to wear what’s right for your body type and complexion.

Now having said this, you might feel that we are limiting your choices.   Nothing could be further from the truth – rather by knowing what looks good on your frame you save time by only looking at options that properly suit.  A short and stout man, especially if he is employing the services of a custom clothier, will find that because he knows he should steer away from windowpane fabrics he now finds he is more open to striped garments and clothing that allows the eyes to seamlessly move up and down.  He doesn’t have less choice – he simply knows which direction to go.

Height and Weight are going to guide the fit you want for your clothes.  Heavyset men will do best with clothes that fit closely but don’t hug their shape, while skinnier men may want a looser fit that adds a bit of breadth to their frame.  Tall men can help look less looming by adding details like cuffs and pockets that break up their visual impression; shorter men can add a feeling of height by keeping everything streamlined and vertically-oriented.  Height and weight will affect how much tailoring a man’s clothing needs as well — some men can walk out of any store wearing something from the racks comfortably, while others can shop for an entire day without finding something that can be worn unadjusted.  Know which one you are, and don’t buy clothing that fits poorly!

Complexion determines a man’s color choices.  Men with light hair, skin, and eye colors should be careful of clothing with too many contrasting colors which can overwhelm their appearance.  Higher-contrast men with dark hair and light skin, or light hair and dark skin need contrast in their clothing to balance the starkness of their natural features.  Also certain color shades will not always complement particular skin colors; a man learns by experience (or a color wheel) what flatters him best.
