Proportions and layering
Wearing the right proportions makes you look taller, leaner, and more put together. Layering adds depth and makes simple outfits look better.
Proportions: Balance Your Outfit
✔ Top & Bottom Balance – If your top is slim, wear fitted pants. If your top is loose, keep the bottom fitted. ✔ Jacket Length – Should end near your belt. Too long makes you look shorter. ✔ Pants Fit – Slim or straight-leg works best. Avoid baggy or super skinny fits. ✔ Sleeve & Pant Length – No excess fabric bunching up. Tailoring is your friend.
❌ Avoid oversized fits unless intentional. Too much fabric = sloppy look.
Layering: Add Depth to Your Look
✔ Start with a fitted base – A t-shirt, henley, or button-up. ✔ Add a mid-layer – A lightweight jacket, flannel, or hoodie. ✔ Finish with an outer layer – A coat, bomber jacket, or blazer (weather permitting). ✔ Stick to 2-3 layers max – Too many layers = bulky look.
💡 Pro Tip: each layer should be slightly longer than the one underneath for a natural flow.
Final Advice
Keep proportions balanced — don’t wear baggy tops with baggy bottoms. Use layering to add structure and style without looking bulky. Tailoring fixes 90% of proportion issues.
