In all the five shape types there’s only this body shape one can easily shop for on their own. As we know the trapezoid body shape is also known as the rhomboid shape. This body type features broad shoulders, wide chest and a narrower waist. However, some men with a trapezoid body shape may still be confused about what type of clothing and styling works best for them, particularly if they fall into the extreme height ranges or if their shape leans closer to an inverted triangle.
If you're unsure whether your body type is trapezoidal, rectangular or inverted triangle, first you have to check it in our customized Male Body Shape Calculator by adding some basic measurements. Then, according to the given results you can either go for basic yet comfortable fits or have your clothing tailored for a better fit. Many designers use the trapezoid body type as the standard template for their clothing, so you’ll find a wide variety of options and styles that suit your physique well.
Some of them are mentioned below:-
- Always opt for tailored clothes that highlight your shape and are ideal for you.
- Straight-leg and slim-fit jeans help to maintain a balanced silhouette.
- Short coats are a good option when styled and paired well.
- Opt for contrasting colors by pairing a light-colored top with a dark bottom, or vice versa.
- Wearing shirts in vertical stripes can make you look taller, while checks and plaids add horizontal bulk. One can choose based on their height.
- A blazer or suit jacket tapers your waist, giving a slimming effect to your stomach and broadens the shoulders. Button it at the waist for the best effect.
- Always choose normal-length ties and avoid too tight or loose clothes.
- Crew neck and V-neck T-shirts complement a balanced upper body.
- Structured outerwear enhances the naturally symmetrical shape.
