Ms. V. will dress you.

UNIFORMED

No woman wants to be seen with a slob. Luckily, as a man, dressing well is relatively easy. For those aiming to enhance your wardrobe, there are a few key guidelines to follow.

  • Firstly, invest in well-fitting clothes that flatter your particular body type (look for your type below). If you are able, have your clothes fitted properly by a good tailor.
  • Always follow the care instructions on your clothes, and make sure your clothes are not crumpled by hanging them up straight out of the dryer. And, of course, avoid clothes with stains, rips, or frayed edges.
  • Additionally, choose colors that complement your complexion. Pay attention to whether a color makes you look washed out or even yellowish. A color that compliments your skin tone will make you look healthier and more vibrant. If you are not good with color theory stick to neutrals (black, grey, white, tan) or monochromatic combinations (where the items are a mix of darker or lighter shades of the same color).
  • Experiment with different textures and and chose natural fabrics when possible. And remember, women will much prefer more timeless looks that are not screaming for attention. When going out, dress to compliment her outfit but never to compete with it.
  • And finally, having a staple uniform of neat but comfortable items in solid colors or simple patterns than can be mixed and matched will keep you looking sharp. I've chosen some reliable items for you below.

Find your body Type

Ectomorphs

Ectomorphs tend to have a lean and slender build with a fast metabolism. They often have a smaller frame, narrow shoulders, and longer limbs.

  • Look for clothes that add some volume and structure to your frame without being loose or baggy.
  • Opt for slim or tailored fits to accentuate your lean physique.
  • Experiment with layering to create the illusion of more bulk.
  • Consider wearing structured jackets or blazers to add some definition to your shoulders.
  • Choose pants with a tapered or slim leg to avoid them looking too loose or disproportionate. A good fit will not fall down if you are not wearing a belt.

Mesomorphs

Mesomorphs are characterized by a naturally athletic and muscular physique. They typically have a well-proportioned body, broader shoulders, and a narrower waist.

  • Embrace your athletic physique by wearing clothes that highlight your well-proportioned figure.
  • Opt for fitted or tailored cuts that showcase your muscular physique without being too tight.
  • Choose structured jackets and blazers that accentuate your broader shoulders.
  • Look for shirts and t-shirts with a slight stretch to complement your muscular build.
  • Experiment with different necklines to find the ones that flatter your face shape.

Endomorphs

Endomorph: Endomorphs generally have a larger and rounder body shape with a higher tendency to store body fat. They often have a softer and curvier appearance, with wider hips and a shorter stature.

  • Look for clothes with a relaxed fit but remember straight lines are your friend.
  • Avoid overly tight or clingy fabrics that may emphasize any areas you're self-conscious about.
  • Choose tops with a slightly looser fit, such as relaxed-fit shirts or polo shirts.
  • Opt for pants with a straight leg, avoiding anything too tight or too loose. A good fit does not look slouchy or clingy, and it should not fall down to your buttcrack when you don't wear a belt. Also, your hem should not hit the floor, but it should also not show off your socks.
  • Consider layering with structured outerwear to create a more balanced silhouette.
