Suits are the pet of men’s clothing kingdom, and “suits and leather shoes” are often used to describe elegant gentlemen and handsome men. The main characteristics of a suit are its crisp appearance, smooth lines, and comfort. If paired with a tie or bow tie, it will look more elegant and simple. People with different body shapes will have very different dressing effects. Read the following basic knowledge. Although it does not guarantee that you will look like George Clooney, it will at least ensure that it will not be a disaster.
In order to make it easier for you to understand your own figure, it is necessary for us to first define two important concepts, namely the concepts of height and shortness and fatness and thinness:
1. The concept of height. The so-called medium height generally refers to between 5 feet 10 inches and 5 feet 8 inches, which is approximately equal to between 178 centimeters and 173 centimeters. Those who are taller than 178 centimeters are called tall, and vice versa.
2. The concept of fat and thin, standard weight = height-105, obesity index = [(actual weight-standard weight) / (standard weight)]x100%
Normal weight: Obesity index ∈ [-10%, 10%]. If it exceeds 10%, we think it is slightly fatter, and vice versa.
With the above definitions, men can be classified according to their body types. They can basically be divided into six types: tall and thin, medium and thin, short and thin, tall and fat, medium and fat, and short and fat (there are usually no standard body types). Particularly unsuitable styles will not be discussed in this article). In the previous article, we focused on how thin people choose suit styles.
For tall and thin people, the most handsome style is actually double-breasted. But because double-breasted is no longer popular, it may feel a bit exaggerated to wear it on the street or in an office building. Why is double-breasted the first choice? Because double-breasted will make a thin person look full of chest muscles, and will not give people the feeling of “telephone poles”. If you want to wear a single-breasted dress, it is recommended to consider cutting off the lapels. The lapels should not be too narrow. Narrow lapels are now a trend, but they are not suitable for tall and thin people. You can choose either three-button or two-button styles. Three-button buttons are still the mainstream in shopping malls, but they are relatively rare in the field of custom-made suits.
The length of the suit should be at least standard, or even longer, so that the suit does not look so slender. Do not choose suit pockets that are slanted. You can choose bold colors. Bright wide stripes will make tall and thin people look stylish. Don’t choose dark and thin ones. Stripes will make a person look thinner. There are no special taboos for a slit in the back.
You can choose to turn the trousers hem, and don’t choose trouser legs that are too fat. A slightly slim trouser leg is more suitable, but don’t go to the extreme of wearing a style that stretches the legs. Let’s talk about shirts. Plaid shirts are a good choice for tall and thin people. If you think plaid is too casual, you can choose small plaid that cannot be felt from a few steps away. Solid colors are also a good choice, just like suits. Also avoid dark, thin vertical lines.
For people with a medium build but on the thin side, you can choose a few buttons for a single-breasted suit. The lapels should not be too wide, as they will appear out of proportion. You can boldly try to cut off the lapels. There are no special taboos for slits in the back. It is recommended to wear pleated pants. , the choice of trouser legs should also refer to the choice of tall and thin. There is no taboo in choosing whether to choose reverse hems on the trouser legs. Regarding the collar shape of the shirt, don’t consider the stand-up collar shirt, as it will make you look thinner. Plaid suits and shirts are good choices. If you think it’s too casual, you can choose bright wide patterns. If you still feel it’s not formal enough, you can choose solid colors, but don’t choose thin stripes, which will make you look slimmer.
For short and thin people, when wearing a single-breasted suit, do not wear a single button. Three buttons are good. If you think three buttons are old-fashioned, you can choose two buttons. The buttons can be opened a little higher to create a split head. is a good choice. It is preferred to have pleatless trouser waistbands, and do not choose hems at the trouser legs, as this will make them appear shorter. The length of the top can be made a little shorter, and the standard leggings should be chosen instead of short pants.
A very important reason for the enduring popularity of suits is that they have profound cultural connotations. The mainstream suit culture is often labeled as “cultured, educated, gentlemanly, and authoritative”. The suit looks quite ordinary and difficult to match. Either paired with trousers of the same color or a short skirt, it looks very boring. Different combinations of suits can bring out different temperaments, and women’s suits are relatively easy to match.
