How you wear your jacket?

Men's figures are varied and changeable just like women's, with the four distinct types being tall, short, heavy-set and muscular. It's important to consider your build as well as your girth when choosing the most flattering designs.



A good tip is to wear jackets with designs or patterns that serve to visually 'bulk out' the jacket to make you appear fuller, while choosing a jacket that is slightly broader in areas, particularly the shoulders, can also enhance this image. Heavy-set men seeking out slimming jackets are encouraged to favour dark colours and avoid baggy designs that can add extra width, though care should also be taken to ensure the jacket is not too tight. The same goes for muscular men, as even if you're proud of your body, you should ensure symmetry and proportion throughout your appearance.

Jacket choices for shorter men are not necessarily the opposite of this, though when choosing mens jackets for a shorter build, it naturally helps to give the appearance of extra height, something that can be effectively achieved with the aid of stripes.
