What men should wear to a date

Rectangle — shoulders, waist and hips roughly in line

Play up structure — layers give you the shape fabric alone won't. Layer deliberately: a Nehru jacket, overshirt or bomber instantly adds dimension. Avoid: head-to-toe slim monochrome with no layering.

Athletic — broad chest, waist slightly narrower

Play up your natural proportions — most cuts already sit well on you. Tailored slim-straight is your default; you can carry both fitted and relaxed looks. Avoid: oversizing everything and hiding the frame that's working for you.

Inverted triangle — very broad shoulders, narrow waist

Play up balance — soften the top, ground the bottom. Unstructured, soft-shoulder jackets — you don't need padding. Avoid: very skinny trousers that exaggerate the v.

Triangle — waist or hips wider than shoulders

Play up your shoulder line — build it up and the whole frame balances. Structured shoulders — crisp shirts, shoulder seams that actually sit at the shoulder. Avoid: clingy knits at the midsection and tapered-too-tight trousers.

Oval — fuller through the midsection

Play up a strong shoulder fit — it's the anchor of every outfit on you. Get the shoulder seam right and let the shirt fall straight — never tight at the middle. Avoid: horizontal stripes or tight knits across the middle.
