DH is almost at goal on our diet, and his body and wardrobe have changed significantly! He had been hiding in old-man clothes for years now, but he used to be pretty hip. I'd like to encourage him to get back into dressing sharply and I think we could both use some ideas for him to manage that. So many of the blogs I read about guy clothes are for much younger, urban guys. He's skinny again, but he is forty and an exec. Wide-striped t-shirts under slouchy jackets and biker boots aren't going to work here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59593 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:39:48 +0000 Sarah 59593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody. I guess I'll check out S&#38;C's book. This may make me sound ignorant, but can anybody tell me the name of the book? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59420 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:34:12 +0000 Shari 59420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found S &#38; C's book helpful for the male body types (less so for the female). My husband is easily identified as barrel chested and some of my instincts for what looks good on him were right on the money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59410 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:19:13 +0000 ChristineB 59410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I will check that out too. My hubby is broad shouldered, thick chested, with a tummy, long torso, shorter legs (he's 6" taller than me but our legs are the same length) and hates layering because he gets too hot. Talk about a style challenge!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59352 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 05:42:11 +0000 Kari 59352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be interested to hear more about male figure types/style tips. Maybe I should check out S&#38;C's book at the library. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59329 Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:04:43 +0000 Maya 59329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to rec Stacy and Clinton's book. These are the body types I remember:</p> <p>Barrel chested: large chest<br /> Hips: Yes, some men have hips<br /> Small frame: Self-explanatory. I have a crush on the model for this body type.<br /> Athletic: muscular, broad-shouldered, Greek godlike<br /> I don't remember what the exact name was, but the one Clinton modeled for was something along the lines of tall and lanky<br /> Tummy: Basically the male version of the apple</p> <p>Don't ask me how I remember this so clearly. I really do not know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59136 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:36:23 +0000 Tanya 59136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have seen a couple of main types in Stacy &#38; Clinton's book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mens-body-types-1#post-59135 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:35:17 +0000 Sarah 59135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at the T&#38;S body type page the other day. Just for the fun of it, I entered my husband’s measurements, since they had a body type thing for men too. However, I found it even less helpful that the body type section for ladies. For one thing, they don’t list any body types at all. Also, all you do is enter a few measurements and then whether the guy is tall, short, skinny, or big. My husband isn’t really any of the above. He’s average height (5’10”) and not really skinny or fat. He just has a little extra around the middle. Any ideas on where to find body type suggestions for men? </p>
