How to dress for your body type? | Clothes according to different body types | Shane

today's video is going to be about how you can dress for your body type understanding your body shape can help enhance your appearance and it can boost your confidence so first of all we have to identify what our body type could be I'm going to break it down into three really really simple categories we have a slim body type we have an athletic body type and we have a fuller body type more broader Fuller physique so we're going to be starting with a slimmer body type so essentially anybody with a thin narrower frame smaller shoulders tight waist Etc adding layers can create the illusion of a more filled out frame so for example try wearing a t-shirt underneath a shirt or you could try wearing a jacket over a jumper which is just going to play into that layering and again give you the appearance of a more filled out frame so you want to opt for some clothes that have some structure to add shape for example Blazers are absolutely perfect some Blazers do come with padded out shoulders so it's going to give you that appearance of a broader shoulder and a more filled out frame or you can go for jackets and coats that again are going to give you that illusion of a slightly wider larger more filled out frame some clothing suggestions for people with that Slimmer frame so you want to be aiming for more fitted kind of items so when it comes to t-shirts you don't want them to be super tight but something quite like what I'm wearing now it's relative ly fitted but it also has quite a lot of room in there you don't want it to be overwhelming from a smaller size to a much larger size you want to avoid baggy clothes because this is just going to drown you it's going to give you an illusion of being even smaller than you actually are you should try to avoid wearing skinny jeans I said you want to be opting for still quite a slim fit but a little bit more regular not too baggy not too tight something that's going to fit you quite nice but it's not going to be again to the extremes of being too small or too large and then again layered looks so you can start incorporating some vests underneath your shirts obviously depending on what time of the year it's just around Springtime right now so this is perfect but you can also start delving into Cardigans scarves overcoats Etc layer up to give you that illusion of a slightly broader physique moving on to the athletic build so broader shoulders tighter waist back kind of Vaper you want to be wearing t-shirts tops Etc that are going to accentuate that like the one that I'm wearing now it's a really really soft material it has quite a lot of stretch but the way the fabric kind of drapes over my physique it feels really really nicely it feels comfortable does help accentuate the shape that I already have when it comes to the fitting of your clothing of course this is all down to personal preference I'm just giving my opinion on this I personally like to wear clothes that are relatively fitted you will have seen in some of my videos I'll be wearing maybe super tight clothes in some of my videos a little bit more baggy but the middle ground is where I feel the most comfortable like what I'm wearing right now so the jeans that I'm wearing so these are a straight leg slim fit type of Jean there's quite a little bit of room in there they're not super skinny they're not super baggy they fit me really nicely they are quite a highwaisted jean as well which I personally really really like you'll have seen in some of my other videos from the same brand actually represent they do quite a lot of high-waisted jeans trousers Etc another tip as well is to simplify your patterns don't be wearing anything that's too loud with huge logos or designs over it simple blocky colors plain items gemly in my personal preference just look a little bit better they're a lot more versatile and it doesn't overwhelm or distract from the shape of your physique clothing suggestions for the athletic physique would be fitted t-shirts as I've mentioned straight cut slim fitting trousers or jeans just like the last a nice well-fitted Blazer again is just going to accentuate the physique that you already have it's going to look nice it's going to look smart and generally speaking most body types will look great in the right size Blazer and then athletic actual wear gym wear compression tops Etc don't be afraid to wear items of clothing that are really going to accentuate and complement your actual build so moving on to the Fuller physique the broader physique so first and foremost you can use vertical stripes patterns to create that elongated effect like the shirt that I'm currently wearing right now what this will do as long as the shirt is fitted right like as you can see relatively tight up and around my shoulders but it's relatively loose around my stomach area and what those stripes do is it just creates the appearance of a longer torso so again when it comes to t-shirts very similar to what I've just mentioned with the shirt you want make sure that the items that you're selecting are fitting your body nicely so again up and around my shoulders and my arms this fits really nicely but you see how it hangs and drapes over my body there is a lot of room around my stomach area it doesn't give me the appearance of being overly broad it accentuates my physique really nicely and of course if I was to have a larger stomach it wouldn't really be an issue it wouldn't be something that is noticeable from far away and of course darker colors darker tones do kind of have that slimming effect again when it comes to jeans trousers you want to go for that middle ground you don't want to be going for trousers that are overly baggy or trousers that are overly tight you want a nice slim relaxed fit like the ones I'm wearing right now Slim Fit or straight leg jeans are going to be absolutely perfect cuz essentially you want to be able to balance out those proportions so when it comes to Blazers and jackets so essentially we want to be opting for single breasted Blazers with minimal padding because we're not looking to add any extra kind of emphasis on that already broader Fuller physique then again we can always look to layer our outfit so essentially an open cardigan or an open jacket is going to allow us to again create that vertical line give us the appearance of a slightly more elongated physique so some general tips for all body types realistically speaking tailoring is the most important part wearing items of clothing that fit your physique well is always going to make you a peer smarter a little bit more aesthetic a little bit more pleasing to the eye so it's not just about saying this specific person should wear that and that it's about wearing what looks good on you what fits well on you and what accentuates the shape of your body correctly investing in good quality Fabrics is always going to be beneficial for you because the way that that material drapes over your physique is going to be the difference between looking and feeling amazing in a certain item of clothing rather than buying a cheap item that is quite doesn't fit your physique very well it's probably not going to do you the world of good so sometimes it's much better to invest spend that little bit of extra money on a quality piece of clothing I appreciate that's not something we can consistently be doing so think about versatile pieces things that you're going to be able to Branch out from with certain outfits like good quality t-shirts a good quality Blazer things that you're going to be able to wear for a very very long time but they're just going to make you look and feel amazing and the most important tip throughout this whole video confidence is King whatever you wear wear it with confidence don't be worried if somebody doesn't like it if somebody's got something to say about it fashion style whatever you want to call it it's all about what you the individual feels comfortable in likes to wear and he happy so if you think something looks good then it does there we go guys some tips on how to poten you think
