Male Body Shape: Super V

My lady, if you selected Option 1, your manly mate is an upper figured natural triumph, The Super "V". In his spare time, your Mister may enjoy lifting powerfully weighty things. Whether he collects and rearranges water heaters, fancies examining beneath prodigious rocks, or adores tossing around exceptionally stout children, his body has adapted. Whatever the case for the cause, Mister's upper body resembles a capital version of the fifth to last letter of the alphabet.

While stunning sans shirt, he may experience difficulty finding protective threading for his sinewy proportions. Poor strong husband, who will help him? You will, and here's how:

1. Start with a proper shirt. A proper dress shirt should appear to be sewn directly onto your mister. When the dress shirt is secured into the trouser there should be no blousing, no bunching, no creasing. After all the time your Mister has spent lifting, squatting, and pressing, his shirt may need some professional training to tone its lumps out as well. In other words find yourself a tailor.

2. Balance the bottom half. An ensemble should glide like a well-rounded conversation. While tongues twitter on about trivial hobbies, recent reading material, and favorite board games, clothing presentation should parlay without interruption from head to shoulders, proceeding down to knees and toes. If the gaze consistently sticks on one topic, bring attention to another subject.
In Super V's case a cuff, a substantial shoe, or a single pleat can help balance his broad shoulders. The ensemble should hint at a muscular underlay but not prostitute it with a narrowly tapered pant leg. (In case you were reading casually, I did use the adjective "single" to modify the noun "pleat" above. Single means alone, without companion, only. If you can't contain yourself to a solitary pant pleat on each leg, stick with a flat front. )

3. Carefully select a jacket.
Starting with a European, suppressed waist, may require less tailoring because the drop (difference between jacket and waist size), tends to be more dramatic across the pond. But make sure it doesn't include a substantial amount of padding in the shoulders. Unlike those sloping shoulder Euros, your Gaston doesn't need the male version of a push-up bra.

Next, opt for a wide lapel that's substantial enough to lie abreast his burlesque chest. Some (who are wrong) prefer to lock and load a large chest with a three button suit coat, but a classic two button creates a "V" that matches, narrows, and divides your husband's largest asset into visually digestible pieces. Keep it classic and simple, there's no need to ruin the line and bedeck his brawn with a third piece.

Finally, don't let me catch you going a shade lighter than ash gray unless he's carrying a Mint Julep and auditioning for the Great Gatsby. His presence speaks for itself there's no need to shout in hues of wheat or ecru.


Now doesn't this suit speak of a strong handshake?
