After discussing clothing solutions for short, slim, heavy and tall men, I’m here with some tips on men with an athletic built. Ideally men with this kind of a built have an average height with chest size much broader than his waist. Hence it becomes a mandate to re-proportion their over sized shoulder with the smaller bottom. Well, just as in every article in this series, I have been talking about the most popular winter gear among men – the jacket!

So here are some essentials you need to keep in mind before purchasing a jacket or getting one tailored if you are fanatic about the size. In any case, these are some important style tips that’ll help your body look more proportionate and bring out the best in you!

Jackets!

• Your shoulders should be as unpadded and natural looking as possible because they are likely to change your frame and make your look out of shape.
• The jackets you wear should be long enough to balance the strong shoulders without shortening the leg line.
• The waist suppression should be minimal.
• Two button single breasted suits would look the best over double breasted ones. Avoid three button single breasted at all costs.
• The lapels should be always be full with a slight belly.
• Flaps on pockets will make it look good.
• You may or may not have side vents at all.
• The fabrics should that’ll help you deemphasize the bulk will be solid worsteds herringbones, vertical windowpanes, subtle stripes with not less than three-fourth inch of spacing.

Trouser s and shirts!

• To fill out the jacket, you should always try and wear trousers as high on the waist as comfortable.
• The trousers’ leg should have definite break on the shoe.
• Assuming that you have a broad face and a thick neck, you should always focus on vertical shirt collars such as tab or long points to compliment your body type.
• Besides, solid, striped, or patterned neck wear will suit you the best.
• Also shirts with strong stripes will look good on your frame.

So here’s how you can perfectly clothe your athletic frame. Always remember that when it comes to men, it is the poise and the confidence on your face that makes the first impression. Clothes come next. So make sure your posture is upright and you look as bright and happy when you move out in the attire complimenting your frame just perfectly.
