Knowing how to dress is much more than being aware of and following fashion trends. Dressing well is to highlight our essence, personality, and figure. Sometimes, this is not that easy, as there isn’t much information about male body shapes and what flatters them. Now, you can learn how to stylize your figure according to your body type with this practical guide from Cubavera.
- H-shaped body: rectangular shape where the hips and shoulders are the same widths. We recommend wearing structured garments at shoulder height like blazers and avoiding horizontal lines in the waist area so as not to add visual breadth.
- A-Body: Triangular shape with narrower shoulders and wide hips. We recommend printed or plain white shirts and dark/plain pants.
● V-shaped body: inverted triangle shape with small hips and narrow shoulders, like the swimmer’s body. We recommend balancing the shoulders’ width with unstructured garments on top and lower garments that add volume at the hip level, such as pleated pants.
- Oval body: shape with a rounder torso protruding from the hips and shoulders. We recommend using plain dark colors or contrasting with light and dark, choosing light bottoms and dark tops. If you like prints, opt for the vertical lines to visually lengthen the figure.
- Trapezius body: broad shoulders and slightly narrower hips. This type of body is the one that has the most harmony between all the parts.
Highlight your figure with pieces that convey your personality. Just be careful not to exaggerate with the cuts so as not to change your silhouette and transform it into another less flattering one. The key here will be to maintain visual harmony.
