How to choose the right men's clothing for your body type?
A guide to elegance and tailoring according to the body type
Choosing a men's thobe doesn't just depend on taste or fabric; it's also related to body shape. The perfect thobe is one that elegantly accentuates your features and hides what you don't want to show. Whether you're slim, full, tall, or short, there are design and tailoring options to help you look your best.
In this guide, we help you choose the perfect dress according to your body shape to ensure comfort and a balanced look at the same time.
1. Slim Body: Elegance in the Fine Details
If you have a slim body, choose a dress that gives the illusion of fullness and balance:
- Choose fabrics of medium thickness , not too light.
- Use embroidery or horizontal stripes on the chest to give you a wider appearance.
- Avoid clothes that are too tight , choose a medium fit (Regular Fit).
- Choose a stand-up collar or a mid-width collar to add extra dimension.
