What you wear might be more important than you think:

Clothes are about emotions.

Clothes are about who you are and what you want.

Clothing is an intuitive language that everyone understands and that you can use quite consciously.

No matter if you are a woman or a man.

As a woman put on a dress that makes you feel feminine and beautifull. Put makeup on and do your hair and maybe your nails. Go to work like this or if not work to the mall ect.
Feel how it changes your mood, your energy, your posture

Trinny and Susannah - www.youtube.com/watch?v=bShyozpOuuk

If you are a man you can put on some fancy elegant shoes, put on a good aftershave, maybe a blazer ect. Go to work or out in town like that.

If you are a woman you can also put on your favorite feminine, delicate underwear and bra on.

Just do it even if it is after work and enjoy and see what happens inside you and around you!

This exercise can make you Think higher of yourself. When we feel good about ourselfs, we will be happier and and we seem more attractive to other people.
It can also make you socialize more - maybe also with the opposite sex.

An experience from a woman:
I went to work in my beautifull favorite dress, with my hair done and with makeup on. And wow.... it was magic. People were smiling at me, the men at work were holding the door for me and said "God morning" more often than they normaly do.

The magic is about that when we chance our own feeling inside, when we allow ourself to shine and to feel good, then our surroundings will mirror this back to us. Everything starts with you!

Which core style type are you ?

Everyone has a core style type.. This applies to both sexes.

"If you look through your wardrobe, 80 percent of your clothes will be from one of the core style types."

You have to peel the layers off and find out where you are most yourself, and then there will be peace of mind, and you avoid making mistakes when you understand who you are.

If you want to feel comfortable, you should always wear at least 1 element of clothes/assesorie from you core style type!

Maybe you are the RELAXED fashion style type:
(Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Alba, Andrea Elisabeth Rudolph)

If you are the relaxed fashion style type, then it is important for you that the clothes is to move in.
It must not sit too tight, and it is characterized by the fact that it is comfortable to wear, soft and preferably with stretch.
Simple and natural materials such as cotton, velvet and velor, but also more synthetic sports materials like microfiber and viscose. Possibly. clothes inspired by sportswear and sometimes the outdoor style.
There are not many details in your clothes, and there are typically not many colors either - mostly black, blue, white, and maybe army green.
You probably do not use a lot of jewelry either, because you quickly feel too embellished.
You also have relaxed type of cholthes if your wardrobe and it is characterized by sports inspired clothing.

If you are the simple style type , then you like simple clothes with nice but discreet details.
It can e.g. be a surprising cut in the clothes or understated details.
You do not have many colors, but you like solid white, black and gray.
Also, not many patterns find their way into your wardrobe.
The simple style type can mind you of classic styletype
You do not feel comfortable in a pure classic set - it gets too tight and neat.
If you are unsure whether you are classic or simple styletype, then look e.g. at 2 different blazers:

- The classic with lapel and 2 pockets.
- Or the simple one, e.g. without lapel and with zipper instead of buttons.

Brands: Patrizia Pepe, Phillip Lim, Poul & Joe, Bruuns Bazar, COS ect.

Maybe you are the CLASSIC style type:
(Jackie Kennedy, Michelle Obama, Susan Sarandon)

If you are the classic style type, you are comfortable in business-like clothes.
The inspiration is often originally taken in menswear, and if you have the classic style core, you will feel attracted to good quality, genuine materials and base colors like black, gray, blue, beige and white.
In your wardrobe there will probably be classic white shirts, slacks, turtleneck blouses, v-pullovers, pencil skirts and suits or blazer jackets.
You probably do not have many colors, but stick to white, black, navy, gray.
If you are into patterns, it is probably graphic patterns such as. cubes and stripes.

Brands- Armani, Ralph Lauren, Gina Tricot, InWear, Tiger of Sweden, Hugo Boss, Max Mara, Burberry ect..

Maybe you are the FEMININE style type:
(Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively, Kate Winslet, Crownprinsess Mary, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katie Holmes)

Much of the feminine clothing is inspired by the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s and you will feel attracted to materials like silk and mohair
If you have feminine style type, you probably have a lot of clothes with floral prints, ruffles, patterns, pleats, puff sleeves and laces.
You like stilettos or ballerina shoes, and like a lot of soft materials that fall nicely and easily.
When you put together your clothes, you are trying to create a feminine silhouette.
You wear a lot of jewelry, and like pretty, small details on the clothes.

Maybe you are the RAW/COOL style type:
(Anastacia, Madonna, Lykke May, Kate Moss)

If you have raw / cool style type, you are comfortable in jeans and probably have a lot of pairs.
You will be attracted to clothes and accessories with rivets, zippers and silver, maybe also streetwear.
Something citycowboy / rock 'n' roll about the design. There is an edge in the design and the clothes must never be too neat.
The clothes may look used, even if they are not.
If there are colors in your wardrobe, it is typically neon colors. Otherwise, your wardrobe is characterized by black clothes, possibly. a little white.
There are not many patterns on your clothes, but there may be prints, e.g. in the form of band names on t-shirts.

Brands: Diesel, Miss Sixty, Noir, Only, Camilla Staerk

Maybe you are the BOHEMIAN style type:
(Rachel Zoe, Kate Hudson, Helena Christensen)

Do you have the bohemian style type, you love to put clothes together in surprising ways.
You like colors and patterns a lot, and are comfortable in loose clothing, layer-on-layer, and like to use a lot of accessories, e.g. jewelry and scarves.
You probably have a lot of tunics/tunikas, vests, long skirts and very patterned clothes in your wardrobe.
Your style is
a bit reminiscent of the 60s and 70s style, kind of a bit ethnic and full of details.
It may also be that you love putting colors and patterns together in unconventional ways.

How to get started on the clothes you have not been able to figure out how to use:

If you want to feel comfortable, you should always wear at least 1 element of clothes/assesorie from you main style type

Maybe you have a dress in your wardrobe that has a little ruffles or a feminine pattern - and maybe you have wondered why you do not really feel comfortable in it.
This is because there is no element of your main style type when you put on just that dress.
But you can easily use the dress anyway!
Try to put one of your white shirts inside under the dress, so that you can see the shirt in the neckline.
Or put your blazer jacket over the dress.
Then you will immediately get the feeling of feeling comftablel - because you are now wearing an element of your main style!

Now you can start playing with your style:
Use your knowledge that you have classic style, to add edge and personality to your clothing style. When you always have an element of your core on, you are free to put clothes together from other cores:
Set e.g. a casual cardigan for your slacks and classic shirts.
Or add a feminine skirt to your turtleneck blouse and blazer.
There are plenty of options - try it out and see how you suddenly get many more options to take advantage of your wardrobe!

How to figure out your own fashion style type:

1) Start by finding the clothes that you use the most and feel most comfortable in
2) Look at what is left behind and find out:
- does it fit? If not, put it aside. Evaluate later, whether it should be sold or donated to charity.
- if it is worn or broken, put it aside. Evaluate.later whether it needs to be repaired or discarded.
- can you use it this season (summer / winter)? If not, put it aside.
- is it very out of date? Then put it aside unless you consciously want to use it with the rest of your wardrobe. Otherwise, consider donating it to charity.
3) Now put the clothes you have left in manageable piles or hang them on a rack or in your wardrobe. It is a good idea to gather the clothes in groups, e.g. trousers, dresses, skirts, shirts, etc.
Try not to divide the clothes into "party clothes" and "everyday clothes".
4) At the same way, you review your shoes, your accessories and your jewelry so that you get an overview.

New opportunities:
Now that you have an overview of your wardrobe, you can start putting the clothes and accessories together in new ways.
Try to give yourself a small task: Do you have e.g. a blouse that you always pair with the same pair of trousers - so deliberately try to pair it with something else. It can be a skirt or you can take a jacket over. Try it out, and every time you think "I usually do ..." you have the opportunity to change your expression.
Now you can suddenly use the "party dress" for everyday life by putting on a cardigan and a pair of flat shoes, and the home cozy pants for a party by putting on a nice jacket and a pair of nice shoes! Clothes and accessories just need to be put together in a new way - dressed up or down after the occasion
When you force yourself to try to put clothes and accessories together in new ways, you get to use what you have. That way, your wardrobe becomes usable and full of options, and not a museum.

Female Body shapes:

Trinny and Susannah - 2020 - talks about bodyshapes and meno pause ect.- www.youtube.com/watch?v=bShyozpOuuk

We are all different and have different body shapes. Therefore, there is no definitive truth about which clothing cuts you should choose.

There must be a balance between upper body and lower body.

Here you get an overview of the most common body shapes, what suits them best and what is needed to create beautiful proportions in the figure.

Along the way, you can think about whether there are any characteristics that suit you - and then you can use the tips that suits.

If you are very slim, you can play with the proportions:
If you are very slim and do not have many shapes, I think you should play with the proportions.
Then you can e.g. experiment with loose clothing paired with tight clothing and it will give the impression that you have more shapes than you have.

Aren't you that tall?
If you are not that tall, you need to create long, straight lines.
One color attitude in upper and lower part, e.g. dress or a set, gives you length.

The obvious tip
Of course, the easiest way to get taller is to wear high-heeled shoes.
But it is not certain that you will feel comfortable in high shoes.
If so, then instead of thinking about creating a long, vertical line by letting your pants, leggings or tights have the same color as your shoes.
It can e.g. be that you choose black leggings and black boots.
But the line must be unbroken - ie. it can be no use wearing black leggings, colored socks and black shoes.
Help with your clothing style lengthen your legs
If you have bare legs or light tights, choose a pair of nude-colored shoes and you will also achieve the effect of lengthening the legs.

Your clothes
When you are not that tall, think a lot in vertical lines.
It is up to you to avoid being "cut across". So one's color attitude in the upper and lower part is good for you.
Eg. is a trouser suit super good, but also dresses and suits will give the illusion of height.

Shops
There are now more stores that have special sections for women who are petite.
Topshop has a whole department for small women, but Zalando also has clothes for women under 160 cm.
You can also keep an eye on which stores carry clothes that are picked up in France, Italy, Spain or Eastern Europe.
This clothing will often be very small in size because the women in these countries are generally smaller

Are you very tall?
Maybe you are very tall - and think that it can be a problem sometimes.
Lots of horizontal lines break up your figure, giving the impression that you are lower/shorter than you are.

Styling tips
These styling tips are some you can use if you want to give the illusion that you are NOT that tall.
If you are very tall, it is important to trick the eye into thinking you are lower than you are.
The first tip that you have probably already figured out is that you should wear high-heeled shoes with care.
But if you love high-heeled shoes, you should wear them!
Then you can possibly. Use some of the other tips to break the lines so you do not look so high.
Make your legs visually shorter
If you want to hide the fact that you have long legs, you can use the dress length that stops approx. middle of the calf (midi-skirt).
shorts with wide legs that stop below the knee will also look good and make you look shorter.
Shorts - or pants where you have slipped your legs up - are fine for you, and make your legs appear shorter.
Finally, a long vest / jacket / cardigan that stops approx. at the middle of the calf also make you not look so tall.
You can reinforce this by putting a belt at the waist and making a horizontal line that breaks the vertical lines you have created with the vest.

Horizontal lines
The second tip is that you should try to create as many horizontal lines as possible.
That way, you will be "cut across" so that you seem shorter.
You can e.g. have a t-shirt under your shirt and knit so that it sticks out at the bottom and makes a horizontal line.
Horizontal stripes on the clothes make you shorter.
You can also choose to make horizontal lines by letting the color and / or pattern of your tops and bottoms be different.
Belts or a shirt or knit around the waist will also create horizontal lines that makes yo smaller.

Teardrop-shaped body shape:
Do you have an advantage in common with Beyoncé and Rihanna?
Are your hips wider than your shoulders?
Drop shape is a very feminine shape - and one of the easiest to wear!
Instead of focusing on your wide hips, think the other way around and try to make your shoulders wider.
If the hips and shoulders are equally wide, you also highlight your waist - then you have hourglass shape!

Avoid hip cuts
Ie. they have bottoms that end right where they are widest.
Keep in mind that horizontal lines makes wider.
And if your white t-shirt ends right where you are widest and you e.g. wearing dark jeans, your hips will look even wider than they are.
Do not pull on the blouse
The problem arises because the women try to hide their buttocks by constantly pulling down the blouse - and it actually just makes the problem even worse.
Getting used to this habit can be quite a victory, as it has mostly been going on for many years.
It will suit most people to wear the t-shirt in their trousers instead of outside - but less if they are wearing low-waisted trousers.
If you love low-waisted pants, be sure to wear a jacket, knit or cardigan that first stops at your thighs or further down so you do not create a line that stops at the widest point on your hips.

Good cuts for teardrop-shaped:
tops with embellishments on the shoulders
tops with wide collars
shoulder pads
wide v-necklines and boat necklines
trousers and dresses with straight cuts

You need to be careful about this:
hip cuts
A-shape in skirts and dresses
belt on the hip

Slimming cut for drop shape:
It is very important that you avoid hip cuts and that you always make sure to shift focus up towards your shoulders.
That way, you will highlight your waist and create harmony between upper body and lower body.
You can also use e.g. a long cardigan that goes down over the hips. It will camouflage that you are wider at the bottom than at the top.
Also keep in mind that light colors magnify, dark colors diminish.
It is therefore a good idea to keep your pants and skirts in dark colors, possibly. the small pattern, and your tops in bright colors.
That alone will make you look slimmer around the hips.

Without shape

Square body type:
Are your shoulders and buttocks equally wide?
Do not have much waist?
You with a square body shape can advantageously highlight hips and shoulders.

Do you have a model body
If you have a square body shape, then your shoulders and hips are equally wide, but you do not have the fine waist that characterizes the hourglass shape.
On the other hand, you can wear almost anything - you have the same body shape as the models!
But still, you may need help with your clothing style.
Because if you do not take care, you will look bigger than you really are.

How to best style a square body shape:
It is very important that you do not wear clothes that are too big.
It will make you look bigger than you are.
But you should not be afraid to play with the proportions, and e.g. wear loose tops for tight bottoms, or tight bottoms for loose tops.
Just do not choose tight tops AND tight bottoms, as you will look like that you have no shapes (unless that's what you want), or loose tops AND loose bottoms - it will make you look many sizes bigger than you are.
Also remember to wear a good bra that supports and highlights.

Good cuts for the square body type:
highlight shoulders and hips
A-cut in skirts and dresses
Empire incision (ie incision just below the chest)
trousers with straight cut
pants with bootcut, ie. trousers that get wider at the feet
jackets that either end at the waist, or have a belt
belts

This should be used with caution
tight tops with nothing beyond
blouses down in skirts and trousers (it makes a line right at the waist you do not have)
Clothes cut that slims
It is important that your clothes are not too big as it will make you bigger than you are.
On the other hand, you are very welcome to choose clothes with a focus on the shoulders and hips - then you can highlight your waist with a belt.
Choose a belt in a dark color that shrinks.
The easiest way to create balance for a square body shape is to choose a waist jacket.

Chubby body type:
Do you have a little too much on your side legs and would you like to camouflage it?
Then it's a good idea to focus on your beautiful, slender/slim legs!
And then a tailored jacket is your best friend.

It is not harder to style chubby body shape than all the other body shapes.
It's about "cheating" yourself slimmer than you are
And it's actually not that difficult.

Help with your clothing style: How to camouflage
It is about camouflaging the dents and pulling the gaze up to the face, or down on the beautiful, slender legs that many women with chubby body shape have.
It is also very important that you have a really good bra that supports you.
It will be able to lift your chest, so you get a slimmer line just below the chest, and you need to highlight it.
At the same time, it is very important that you make sure that your tops fall lightly, loosely down over your stomach, as tight tops will highlight the bulges on your stomach.
You can advantageously try to give the impression that you are taller than you are.
You can, for example. do this by making sure that your shoes have a little heel and that you use vertical lines in the clothing that extend.

Good cuts for chubby:
simple clothes with nice details
tops that fit easily
empire, i.e. cut just below the bosom
the same colored clothes on the upper body and lower body makes you taller
long necklaces and scarves that make vertical lines
skirts and dresses with straight cuts
trousers with straight cut

Avoid:
stripes across (makes you even wider)
pants that end at the ... or shorts (they make you ahorter, and wider)
large color difference between bottom and top (it gives a horizontal line that makes you wider)
belts
large patterned clothing
too big clothes

Slimming cut for chubby:
Like the square body shape, waisted jacket is your best friend.
It will especially look slimming if you have a jacket with fine details, or in a nice color, outside on a dark set of clothes
It will create a long, vertical line, which makes you taller thus slimmer.
Also, think about wearing the same color shoes as your pants or socks.
It will lengthen your legs and make you look slimmer.
Shorts and other pants that do not go all the way down to the ground will make you look shorter and wider than you are.

Hourglass shaped body type:
Are your shoulders and hips equally wide, and at the same time do you have a narrow waist?
Then it is important that you do not dress in too loose and large clothes.
Instead, highlight your pretty little waist with e.g. belts.

Good cuts for hourglass shape:
waist dresses, blouses and jackets
belt at the waist
wrap-around dresses
trousers with straight cuts in the legs
pencilskirts

Avoid oversized and loose clothing with no shape.

Slimming cut for hourglass shape:
It is important that the clothes are the right size.
Too big clothes will make you look bigger than you are.
It is also very important that you highlight your fine waist

Regulating your nerveussystem with colours:

Is it possible to change your energy and your mood with different colours on your clothes and in your home ?

Colours affects our nervous system and our physiology.

In hospitals some rooms were painted turquoise and the patients in those rooms recovered faster than the patients in the white rooms.

In prisons prisoners became more calm in rose/pink coulered rooms.

A special kind of red painted on the walls in a room can make the temperature rise in the room.

In an experiment people were blindfolded and then they were wrapped in different coulered fabrics.
The people reacted differently depending on the coloured fabric they were wrapped in

Some people are more affected by colours than others.

Blue is very soothing for most hsp's

If you need more energy you can wear something in pink, orange or red.

If you are used to wear black you can change your energy by wearing a different color under your black clothes (top, underwear, lingerie, socks ect.)

Colors are also absorbed through the skin

If you got the same type of dress 👗 or t-shirt but in different colours, you can try to feel the change in your mood depending on which dress you are wearing.

If you are stressed or if you are going to a place or you are going to do something at your job that is stressfull it is probably best to wear something blue.

You can also get inspired by the coulers representing the different chakras

Orange gives life and symbolizes the harachakra. Orange symbolizes sex, joy, the playful child, food, get loose. Orange compliments blue.
In your home you can put orange colored asserories in the room.

If you find yourself less Worthy, you can use gold or paint a wall in a golden colour.

Black shuts down a lot of energy and can protect you and your energy if you are among many people.

Blue is soothing

Red lifts the energy. And is a good if you want to be more outgoing and social. Avoid red if you have high blood pressure or if you need to lose weight do not use red in your kitchen or if you are stressed.

Pink is more soothing than red.

Sun yellow is good for the solar plexus chakra .

Green is harmonious and soothing.

Sofpink/rosa symbolizes the heart chakra and is a self-loving color / a good colour for love and selfcompassion.

Trinnys tips when packing for a holiday trip:

Hang your holiday wardrobe on a rail and then see what you wore last year and what remained in the cupboard… leave these items at home.

Always pack a few pieces that can be turned into 2 or 3 outfits i.e. think of bold necklaces and skinny belts that can transform your beach sarong into a sexy halter-neck.

Invest in shirt dresses, that can be worn belted for the evening or thrown over your swimsuit during the day or over a pair of floppy trousers and a T-shirt to stroll around town.

I always decant my favourite beat products into little bottles that I get from MUJI- they come in innumerable shapes and sizes. MUJI also do very clever net zip bags which I find extremely useful when I don’t know how much cupboard space I’m going to have at my destination so it allows me to pack into categories like swimsuits, underwear etc… that I can then keep in those bags when I arrive.

How to create an edge to your outfit:

Edge with materials:
When you need to work with the edge with materials, it is a good idea to start by dividing your clothes according to what material it is made of.
Put the clothes in piles, e.g. cotton, denim, silk, leather, viscose, fur, knitwear, etc.
Start with a basic set - e.g. jeans and cotton shirt.
Now consciously try to put a piece of clothing or accessories in another material, e.g. a leather belt
Then try putting another piece of clothing or accessory in another material, e.g. a fur vest.
Also try adding another piece of clothing or accessories, e.g. a pair of suede boots.

Edge with colors
If you want to add edge to your style with colors, then start by dividing your clothes and accessories into colors so you can see what you have in your wardrobe.
Start with a basic set - it can e.g. be jeans and a black top.
Now try to choose a piece of clothing or an accessory in a markedly different color, e.g. red.
Try adding another color in the same color, but in a different shade, e.g. bordeaux.
Also try adding a complementary color, e.g. green

Edge with patterns
If you have decided to try to work on getting an edge with patterns, then start by finding all the clothes and accessories you have with patterns on.
Deliberately try to make a set where you mix 2 different patterns where the base color is the same
Also try to make a set where you mix 3 different patterns, where the base color is repeated in all 3 patterns.
You can also try making a set of patterns where the base color is repeated in 2 of them, but not the 3rd.

Edge with style types
Edge with style types means that you mix different style types to create excitement in your outfit.
Start with a basic set where the whole set belongs to one style type.
It can be feminine, classic, simple, bohemian, raw or casual.
Try adding a piece of clothing or accessories from another style type.
Then try putting another piece of clothing or accessory from a third style type.
Also try mixing more than 3 style typ in the set.

Edge with accessories
Edge with accessories is one of the easiest methods to add an edge to your style.
Start by dividing your accessories by style types.
It can be classic, raw, bohemian, simple, casual or feminine.
Choose a set of clothes that you want to add edge to.
Try edging your set with accessories from 1 style type
Try putting your set edge with accessories from a different style type.
Try edging your set with accessories from third style type.
Notice how you get 3 sets with 3 different expressions, depending on what type of accessories you add.

Edge with hair and makeup
Start by choosing what style your clothes should have.
It can be simple, raw, bohemian, classic, feminine or casual.
Then try to choose a hairstyle and makeup that gives a different look, for example:

Raw smokey eyes to a bohemian set.
Simple makeup to a classic set.
Feminine curls to a raw set.

Richard Branson from Virgin is doing really well. He is a successful businessman and moves in the financial world, yet he has a style that is a little more luxury bohemian and casual.

You do not have to look like one who goes to reception every day.
But with quite a few tricks, you can lift up your everyday clothes so that you look good and feel well-dressed and stylish.

Tip 1: Your hair is an important part of your appearance
Have you started to consider whether your hair needs to be cut? Do it!
A very important part of your personal expression - and your general well-being - is that you feel well-groomed.
And your hairstyle means an incredible deal to your radiance.
Also get your hair in your nose and in your ears trimmed.
So remember to come to the hairdresser regularly. Feel free to make an appointment for the next visit, even before you leave the salon.

Well-groomed hands and shoes are also something that can make a big difference for men

Tip 2: A belt can complete your outfit
Try to find just the right belt that truly reflects your style and personality.
You notice a belt, and a quality belt lasts a long time.
Wear 2 belts: A wide belt for jeans (possibly with color, pattern or buckle), and a narrower and more classic belt for habit trousers and elegant trousers.
Your belt should generally match your shoes.

Tip 3: Socks can be classic - or they can be with colors
Wear short socks for everyday, sports and other relaxed situations.
Choose the long socks when wearing suits or other more elegant clothing.
It is convenient to have a number of plain, dark socks lying around that fit everything.
But you can also choose colored or patterned socks that match e.g. your tie or your shirt to create harmony in your expression.

Tip 4: A pair of cool shoes can lift your outfit
You do not have to have many shoes. But the shoes you have should not be worn, torn or dirty.
The shoes are the most powerful accessory you have, and a pair of dirty or worn shoes can quickly give you a sad look, regardless of your clothes.
Make sure your shoes are neat, possibly. plastered, and in good condition. It will be noticed!
Also, use nice shoes to dress up your everyday clothes. Eg. jeans will be more stylish if you add a pair of delicious leather shoes.

Tip 5: Put your clothes together in new ways and create your own, personal style
If you find it difficult to dress for anything other than work and leisure, then it may be time to try combining your clothes in other ways:
Try e.g. to put on your "party" vest or habit jacket for jeans and shirt.
Or wear your "nice" pants with a t-shirt or pullover.
Also, feel free to pair your shorts with your neat, white shirt - and feel free to roll up your sleeves for a more cool and casual look.

Tips 6:
Wear a masculine watch

Mens body shapes:

Men's body shapes - Your guide to choosing the right fit
The prerequisite for your clothes to fit nicely is that you take into account how you are built. Even the most expensive suit is going to look sloppy if it does not fit.

Be realistic, be honest and highlight your benefits.

Use them as a guide and do not be afraid to try new things.

Triangular body shape:
If you have a triangular body shape, then your shoulders are a little wider than your hips and you are of ordinary build.
This body shape is typically the one most clothes are sewn after. So you're lucky: You'll be able to fit most bar clothes.

Good cuts for triangular body shape:
- figure-hugging / slim fit highlights your masculine body shape

Avoid:
- too large clothes without shape

Square body shape:
If you have a square body shape, you are characterized by your shoulders and hips being approx. equally wide. Maybe you are also relatively tall and slim.

Good cuts for square body shape:
- v-necklines, shoulder pads and shirts make your shoulders visually wider

Avoid:
- too large and square clothes without shape

Inverted triangle:
If you are widest over the hips and have relatively narrow shoulders, you are inverted triangle. To even out the difference between hips and shoulders, you can advantageously choose tops that draw the eye up.

Good cuts for inverted triangle:
- shoulder pads and deep v-necklines
- trousers in straight cut
top and bottom in the same color scheme
tops in light / loose fit

Avoid:
belts
- tight-fitting trousers

Chubby body shape:
If you have a chubby body shape, it is important to give a visual impression of a harmonious body shape.

Good cuts for chubby body shape:
- looser trousers in straight cut
- shoulder pads and v-neckline

Avoid:
- tight-fitting trousers
belts

Are you very tall?:
As a tall man, you may need to have your clothes tailored - or at least tailored to fit. It is often the case that the clothes get bigger if you want more length.

Horizontal lines such as belts in a markedly different color or striped tops make you visually shorter.

Rolling up the trousers or shorts makes your legs appear shorter (however, avoid this if you are wearing a suit).
Avoid overly loose clothing that will make you look thinner.

Aren't you that tall?:
If you want to give the impression of being taller than you are, then it is a good idea to keep the upper and lower part in the same color shade. You can possibly choose to draw the gaze up towards your face with a nice hairstyle, necklace, butterfly / scarf or thin tie.
Avoid horizontal lines such as eye-catching belts or striped tops, unless you are balancing it by choosing a jacket or vest that you do not close.
