Men: How to disguise problem areas

Share |

Every man dreams of being broad-shouldered, hunky and handsome. But to achieve that he has to spend lots of time, finance and inner resources.

However, there is an easier way to look good without doing much. It’s clothes that can help you to disguise problem areas and flatter your good ones. Let’s talk about the most common problems men have with their bodies.

Thin arms. Unfortunately few men can boast having huge biceps and broad shoulders. How can one camouflage this flaw with the help of clothes?

The main goal here is to distract attention from the arms. Try a loose V-neck sweater, an interesting T-shirt with a funny inscription or a polo-shirt. In other words any garment that accentuates attention on neck and chest will be a great choice.

Forget about clinging outfits. They will just emphasize the area you’d like to hide.

Opt for thicker fabrics and clothes with long sleeves.

Flabby chest. It is frustrating to note you’re getting older and your body changes to the worse, but one can hardly avoid this. Both men and women suffer the problem of a flaccid chest as a result of ageing. So, if this sproblem has already affected you, you better hide your new imperfections from the people around.

Multi-layered garments are good for you. For example, combine a T-shirt with a thin sweater.
Choose thicker and heavier fabrics.

Big belly. Yes, it appears unexpectedly and always untimely. If yesterday everyone considered you to be slim and fit, today beers you’ve consumed recently are no longer invisible. However, gym can help you to get rid of this area very fast. But until you don’t get the fit you want clothes can do that for you.

Heavy and bulky materials will add a few more inches to your already-big-enough waist. Flimsy fabrics are not an option either, as they highlight the size of your belly. What you need is dense materials of high quality.

Select trousers with a middle waist. Low-waisted designs will show how big your belly is.
Jacket can be the best to disguise this problem area. Try single-breasted and double-breatsed jackets because they can transform your shape dramatically.

Baggy clothes, especially shirts are the worst you can choose.

Small foot size. If a woman with small feet looks graceful, a man in tiny boots looks at least ridiculous. Besides, it is really difficult for men with small feet to choose shoes. And options to change the situation are limited.

Choose shoes with longer toes. But be carefull if you don’t want to look funny.
Footwear tailoring is a good option but it is rather expensive. If you can afforsd it your feet will look fabulous.

Unattractive buttocks. Men are lucky to have fewer problems with this part of their bodies. But it is a fact that women pay attention to men’s buttocks as much as to their eyes or hands. You can have a too big bottom or a small one.

If your bottom is too small opt for jeans made of thick denim. These jeans should fit you well and have hip pockets. In case you have a big bottom choose classic trousers which will help you disguise flabby thighs and buttocks.

Long torso and short legs. Proportions play a big role that is why if you have too short legs and a long torse ti is clearly seen and doesn’t look flattering.

Never ever opt for high-waited trousers. It is a common mistake that these can help. Rather, accentuate attention on your upper part. Choose an interesting jacket or a bright sweater. And of course, say no to low-waited trousers either.

Upper and lower parts should be of contrast colors. This way you’ll ‘break’ your shape into two parts and disproportion will be less noticeable.

Long legs and short torso. You can say this isn’t a problem at all. However, it is a disproportion again and it doesn’t make you look more attractive.

Low-waited trousers are the best for you.

Suits look good too but be careful when choosing the length of the jacket.

Rolled up jeans can make your legs visualy shorter.

One-color clothes will make you look tall without separating your body into upper and lower parts.

Vertical lines on your shirt will create the illusion of a longer torso.
