Oval Male Body Type
This shape results from carrying excess weight. It is accompanied by a large stomach, full arms and legs. When dressing this body, design lines that slim and visually lengthen the body need to be selected to ensure the best possible appearance. A perfect fit for clothes is essential.
Look for…
- Softly fitted or neatly tailored clothes.
- Loose (but not baggy), fitted shirts.
- Trousers which sit comfortably at the waist and create support.
- Adjustable, front-pleated or flat-fronted trousers that sit snugly at waist.
- Jackets and coats with a slightly structured shoulder.
- Light-weight fabrics which can be layered without adding any bulk.
