If you have a slim, athletic and a well-toned chest then no doubt you likely have a triangular-shaped body. Finding the perfect fit can be challenging because most men's clothing is made for a broader top and a narrower waist. To create balanced proportions, it's best to draw attention to your shoulders and chest while minimizing focus on your waist. Many men naturally develop a larger waist and hips compared to their upper body as they grow older, forming a triangular shape with the wider base at the waist and the narrow tip at the face. To make this shape look good, one can easily opt for different styling tips.
Here are some basic styling tips to follow:-
- Go for printed shirts and horizontal stripes that make you look slimmer and draw maximum attention to your upper body.
- Opt for V-neck tops and layer your tops to add extra bulk to your upper body.
- One can also use shoulder pads to bulk up the shoulders and for shirts choose medium spread collars or standard straight point collars.
- Choose jeans with a slight flare to conceal larger thighs and balance out broader hips.
- Opt for darker shades like blues, grays, blacks, and browns for a slimming effect and a classic denim style. Avoid baggy or ill-fitting clothes, as they emphasize your lower body.
- Straight-leg or chino-style trousers are ideal for a leaner and more balanced look.
- Jackets with structured shoulders, such as bomber or slouchy jackets enhance the shoulder line and highlight your fine shoulder structure.
- Choose subtle belts to create a more balanced appearance.
- Wear lace-up or Chelsea boots to add height and structure to your lower body.
