Misguided Guides: How to Dress for Your Body Type



Don't you just loathe those misguided guides that give you advice on how to dress for your body but leave out important details. They go something like this, for the pear shape where an A-line skirt to camouflage you're hips, for apple shape try a floaty tee, for petites .... blah blah blah blah. So what if you have a pear shape and you're petite? What then? Do you flip a coin between the advice for the pear shape or the petite and hope one works for you. What if you are ten feet tall and an apple shape? What do you do then? And why aren't there any magazine articles out there like this for the rugged gender? They are the ones that need the real help. Seriously if I see another man with thick thighs and scrawny shoulders running around in skinny man jeans and a fitted t-shirts I might have to find a shrub to throw up on. Oh wait they do have those guides to dressing for men. Too bad they only divide mens bodies up into three categories. Tall, Short and Bulky. (Please we all know bulky is another word for fat.) Don't these guide scribes know men too have pear shapes i.e. thick thighs and scrawny shoulders. What about the poor bloke with the beer belly? These bad boys may be one dos equis sip away from what is referred to as bulky but they have a whole set of their own special issues. (be-dazzled Jersey Shore T-shirts are definitely out for you) Point is I am all about dressing to flatter your body shape but we need details people, details. And for the record when in doubt boys and girls try some Spanx. For you big boys who are not okay with wearing a lady's undergarment i.e. Spanx, then behold the manx! oh and here is a link boys. Just saying! http://www.hotfroguk.co.uk/Companies/Shapewear-World_4989492/Shapewear-Vest-for-Men-by-Esbelt-at-shapewearworld-com-63752
