quick quiz, gentlemen, what's the most attractivebody type? body type number one, the triangle. body type number two, the inverted triangle.body type number three, the rectangle. body type number four, the oval. body type numberfive, the trapezoid. now, i'm going to reveal the answer herein the next couple of minutes, but no matter what the answer is, you've got a particularbody type today and you've got to dress for it. well, gentlemen, that's what thisvideo is all about, how you can dress best for your particular body type.now, before i get into how to dress for each of the five body types, gentlemen, i wantto lay out three ground rules. rule number one, dress for the body that you have today.so, that may be great in two months or in
a year that you will have lost all that weightyou want to lose or may be gain that muscle and you'll have the ideal body at that time.but, you can't walk around naked right now, gentlemen, you have to dress for the bodyyou have. so, that interview that big event that you've got coming up, that date thatyou want to go in, you've still got to dress for the body that you have. this is a greatsegue into my sponsor, anson belt. so, one of the things i love about anson besidesthe interchangeability and i've talked about how their buckles and all their belts wereinterchangeable. so, you can buy three buckles three belts, you've got nine options here,but this is what i love. okay, you're gaining or losing weight, guys, within a quarter ofan inch, these belts adjust.
so and by the way, you can actually separatethis right here. so, let's say you lose a couple of pounds, you don't have to gobuy a new belt, you can actually cut this off and it will still fit you perfectly. now,if you're gaining weight, going to be a little bit more difficult, i'm sure youcan, you know. it's a father-son business. i'm going to link to them the description.i'm sure if you send them an e-mail, they will give you a deal on a strap just say antoniosent you. this christmas season, if you're lookingfor a great gift, look at all these options, you know, you can put together some prettycool combinations, throw in a few different buckles. it's a great company, guys andthey're us-based, like i said father-son
combo. go check them out.now, let's go into point number two. so, foundation point number two is that your bodyshape will determine the type of clothing that you want to wear. don't fall into trends.so, there's a trend awhile back about skinny tights, skinny lapels, basically skinny suits,all these stuff. if you are a triangle-shaped guy, if you arean oval-shaped guy, that is just going to make you look like a clown. it doesn't matterif it somewhat fit you, it's not going to fit your body type. proportion is key here,gentlemen. and so, you've got to understand that for your body type there are going tobe items that are just going to work better for you.foundation point number three is to seek the
norm. when you're wearing clothing, whatyou want to do no matter what your body type is is you want to basically have it betterbalance you so that you can go towards the norm body type in your society. and, thatgoes back to the question at the very beginning, the answer is what body type is most attractive?well, it depends on where you live and what is the norm body type.so, the body type in india, the body type in germany, the body type in italy, the bodytype in the united states or in mexico it changes it depends. here in the united states,people are going to be more muscular. that�s what we put on the pedestal, a lot of guysgo to the gym. india, they're going to be a bit thinner. japan, they're going to bea bit thinner, so over there maybe the rectangle.
in the united states it's going to be morethan trapezoid. interesting though is because as obesity becomesmore common, it becomes something viewed as actually more attractive believe it or not.the point is is you don't want to whenever you're if you are really built yourselfup, you're a bodybuilder don't put on a jacket that has a lot of shoulder pads.it's basically will make you look like a cartoon and that's not what we're lookingfor. what we're looking to do is go towards the norm in your society.so, the first body type i'm going to talk about, gentlemen is the triangular body type.this can happen early on in life, it can also happen a lot later. it could happen with weightgain, but basically what we see is the hips
and the stomach area starts to widen out.the shoulders were naturally may be sloped or they simply you don't work out you don'ttake care of that area and so, they start to slope down, you start to hunch over a bit.this is something that you've got to build up the shoulders. if you can build up theshoulders, all of a sudden this is going to transform this body type more into a squareand the square is much more masculine than a triangle.the issue with the triangle, again, it goes back to the shoulders. weak shoulders areviewed as not masculine so you want to throw on sports jacket, thrown on jackets wear casualsuits, throw on blazers, but also bring in denim jackets, bring in other a leatherjacket. always think how i kind of in a sense
build up this area, can i work casual buttonup shirt that have epaulettes that may be have the double pockets that have a littlebit of embroidery design. so, the chest area the shoulder area, you're looking to adda bit of weight to it, even sweaters can come in and help out with this.now, when it comes to the hips, what you want to do, don't wear anything baggy in thehips. so, you're going to want to wear things closer in and around here. you also are goingto want to make sure the proportion of your shoes. you don't want to go with anythingsuper large. everything down here is as large as you want it to be, so you want to wearpossibly more delicate dress shoes, things that aren't going to look smaller even thoughmaybe you've got size 12 feet.
the next body type i want to talk about isthe inverted triangle. this is the bodybuilder, this is the guy that spends time in the gymand has really built up his upper body. now, the problem with this, many people are goingto say, well, i would love that body and love his problems. well, try going to a tailor,i can tell you this is one of the most difficult bodies to tailor a clothing to and a lot ofthe stuff he puts on, it actually makes his upper body look even bigger and his lowerbody therefore becomes disproportional and this is what we want to avoid.so, the guy with this build, he wants to build up his lower body. he's going to do thisby focusing on shoes that make his feet look a little bit bigger. so, he wants to lookat boots, he wants to look at maybe textured
shoes or suede. he wants to look at contrast,so something maybe that's got a contrasting leather to it, something that draws a littlebit more attention to his footwear. okay. then, we�re moving up here, let�slook at jeans. avoid skinny jeans, maybe go for a straight cut. you don't need to gofor a loose cut, but you want to give something that gives a little bit of extra weight inhere. when you're looking at suits, make sure you avoid jackets that have a lot ofpadding. search out jackets especially, you know, there are certain ones may be comingout of italy or that you can get custom-made which are going to have no padding in here.the idea is you've already got everything you need up here and you want to come offas simply a guy that looks like he's in
shape not a guy that, you know, comes offas this disproportionate, it looks like he's going to fall over, you know, just becausehe has no weight down here in the lower body. so, again, we're trying to avoid the cartoonishlook by making your proportions in your lower body more balanced.now, the next body type is the rectangle body type. for many guys this is going to be agreat body type to have, but if it starts to be an extreme rectangle where it's athin lanky individual, it becomes a lot more difficult. so, this is where you want to addtexture. now, if you've got a normal build, i'mrelatively 5'9". what? 170, 165 lbs, i can tell you clothing is relatively easy tofind for me. but, if i was 6'3", 180 lbs,
i would, you know, have that much leaner profileand it becomes much harder to find clothing. he doesn't want to be wearing really thinclothing that makes him look extremely thin and like he's malnourished here. simplyhe's looking for things that are going to add some weight and add some texture.so, for him, unlike many of the other body types, he wants to break up that line, sohe doesn't want to necessarily go for monochromatic looks. he wants to go for an odd jacket withan odd pair of trousers and what do i mean by that? i mean they're not made from thesame fabric. you can go with jeans, you could go with a sports jacket. that's a greatlook for a lot of guys. or if he's going to go for a shirt, he cango with one that has a little bit of build
maybe the double pockets, something that hasa little bit of a contrast between the top and the bottom. that's okay if we focusin on his mid-section a bit because he's so thin, it's actually going to make himmaybe not look so thin, he's going to keep the eye right there at the center. the pointis is we're looking for balance, we're looking to kind of widen him out a bit andmake him look more like the norm. the next body type i want to discuss is theoval body type and we're looking to do two things here. we're looking to stretch outthe oval and we're looking to add edges. so, let me talk about each. by stretchingout the oval, i mean let's make it look taller let's make it look leaner. we cando that with monochromatic looks.
a suit natural monochromatic look here, you'vegot a matching jacket with a matching pair of trousers made from the same fabric, itallows the eyes to go up and down. when a big man wears this, he almost always looksgreat. now, what you want to avoid is a high contrast outfits. so, light-colored shirtswith the dark pair of trousers, that's a no-no where our attention and is focused intoyour midsection, it just makes you look wider. now, when i'm when i'm talking aboutthe edges, talking about here on the jacket perhaps. i'm talking about shoes that drawa little bit of attention to themselves. these are your top and bottom areas. the jacketright here, the shoulders it's going to build them it's going to draw a line righthere that's a great thing. what you don't
want is to have really soft in and aroundthat area. now, with the shoes, you want our attentionto focus in on the shoes. so, you can wear a great pair of boots not only will thosegive you a bit of height, but they could draw our attention. so, you can go with somethingwith the broguing, something with the contrast leather, something with a bit of suede init, something with style because we're going to focus in on there and we're going tosay, wow, this guy has got style, he's large and in charge.the next body type is a trapezoid body type. one of the easier body types to dress unlesshe's extremely tall, extremely short, or closer to an inverted triangle. but, thisguy in general much of the clothing he's
going to try on is going to fit him prettygood. and that's where the problem is at is he doesn't get many things adjusted tofit him. he tries things off the rack, he's like, oh, this pretty good. i'm going towear it as is, so he gets lazy. this body type needs to take everything hasto a tailor to get it perfectly adjusted. no excuses here, this is one of the easiestbody types to dress and i but i see so many guys still screwing it up because they'rewearing clothing that doesn't fit them. they don't actually go out there followmy simple style pyramid where you focus in on the fit, you focus in on the function basicallywhat's the message you want to send, you focus in on the fabric. you buy the best youcan afford.
