Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, guys or girls, if you're listening for your man,
welcome back to all Things clothes. We we talk about how
to make our handsome men even more handsome and confident
and feel confident in the best fitting clothes, quality clothes around,

(00:22):
And we are going to talk today about the perfect
fit shirts and trousers. Y'all, fit is vital. No more
baggy t shirts that are boxy and not fitted, no
more ill fitting pants with saggy butts. There's no reason

(00:43):
for it. There are so many cuts and styles now
and some to fit everyone. So try stuff on, find
something that fits you well, and stick with it. Because
we all know that the foundation of any stylish wardrobe
lies in mastering the fit of its essential pieces. Shirts

(01:04):
and trousers, the cornerstone of a man's attire, require particular
attention to detail when it comes to finding the perfect fit.
A well fitting shirt accentuates the physique, and who doesn't
want that, while impeccably tailored trousers create a silhouette that
exudes confidence and sophistication. But achieving this ideal fit necessitates

(01:28):
a degree of understanding, an attention to detail, going beyond
simply checking a size tag. Understanding your body type is paramount.
Are you athletic, slender, stocky, or somewhere in between. Each
bolt body type requires a slightly different approach to choosing
shirts and trousers. For instance, a slender build might benefit

(01:52):
from slim fit shirts and trousers that add visual bulk,
while a stock your frame might prefer a more relaxed
fit to avoid appearing overly constricted. Athletic builds can often
carry a wider range of fits, from tailored to relaxed,
depending on the desired esthetic, So knowing your body shape

(02:15):
allows you to select styles that enhance your natural proportions
rather than detract from them self. Measurement is a critical step.
Invest in a measuring tape and learn how to accurately
measure your chest, waste, hips, in seam, and shoulder width.
These measurements, in conjunction with the brand's size chart, provide

(02:38):
a far more accurate assessment than relying solely on generic sizing. Remember,
sizing varies significantly across brands. Even within the same sized designation,
one brand's large might fit like another's medium, highlighting the
necessity for careful measurement and cross referencing, and try by

(03:00):
stuff on. Of course, don't hesitate to contact customer service
for clarification or size recommendations if you're unsure. Understanding the
nuances of shirt fits is crucial. Slim fit shirts hug
the body closely, accentuating a more defined physique. They are
ideal for more formal occasions or when pairing with tailored trousers.

(03:25):
Regular fit shirts offer a more relaxed fit, providing greater
comfort and movement. They are suitable for a range of occasions,
from casual days to smart casual events. Oversized shirts, increasingly
popular in contemporary fashion, offer a more relaxed and layered look.
I have a fourteen year old daughter right now that

(03:47):
all she wears are baggy T shirts and shorts, so
sometimes it doesn't even look like she has the shorts on,
so I'm not a fan of this oversized shirt craze.
To avoid an overly sloppy appearance, right, oversized shirts should
drape naturally and exhibit a certain level of libert tailoring.

(04:08):
To avoid looking shapeless, maybe give it a little tuck
in the front or a little tuck on the side
to show off your waist. The choice depends on personal
preference and the overall desired aesthetic. When it comes to
shirt details, pay attention to the collar, cuffs, and length.
The collar should lie flat against your neck, neither too

(04:30):
tight nor too loose. The cuffs should fit snugly around
your waist without being restrictive. The shirt length should be
sufficient to remain tucked in without pulling, and the bottom
hem should generally sit around the waistband of your trousers.
Small details like these contribute significantly to the overall impression

(04:52):
of a well fitting shirt. The perfect shirt is one
that moves with you, neither restricting nor feeling overly loose.
Trouser fits offer an equally vast range of options. Slim
fit trousers follow the leg's natural line closely, often tapering
at the ankle. Their sophisticated and ideal for formal or

(05:16):
smart casual settings. Regular fit trousers offer a more relaxed fit,
providing greater comfort and freedom of movement. They are versatile
enough for a range of occasions. Straight leg trousers have
a consistent width from hip to ankle, offering a classic
and timeless silhouette. They are a staple in any man's wardrobe,

(05:39):
or they should be pairing well with both formal and
casual shirts. Wide leg trousers currently experience a resurgence in
popularity offer a more relaxed and contemporary look. However, they
require careful consideration regarding proportions and overall fit balance to

(06:00):
avoid overwhelming the man's figure. I'm not a huge fan
of this wide leg look with men, to be honest
with you, I like a more tailored look. I like
it on women. I think it really balances out a
women's physique, but I'm not so sure about the man thing.
The enseam, of course, is a crucial measurement for trousers.

(06:23):
The enseam is the length of the inner leg from
the crotch seam to the bottom helm. An ill fitting
en SAM can ruin the overall look of the trousers
and hence the outfit. Trousers that are too long puddle
on the floor, while those that are too short cut
the leg line and appear unfinished. The ideal en sam

(06:44):
should allow for a slight break at the ankle, allowing
the trousers to drape without balancing or bunching I'm sorry,
or feeling overly short beyond the basic fit. The rise
of trousers plays a significant role in overall comfort and appearance.
The rise refers to the distance from the crotch seam

(07:05):
to the waistband. High rise trousers sit high on the waist,
often creating a more streamlined silhouette. Mid riise trousers offer
a balanced fit comfortable for every day where low rise
trousers sit lower on the waist, but this style is
less widely favored today due to potential issues with fit

(07:27):
and comfort. Consider your body type and preferred level of
comfort when choosing the ideal rise. The fabric composition, Oh,
fabric is so important, y'all listen to this. Please no
more polyester from Amazon. You can buy much better quality
on Amazon this polyester stuff. The fabric composition also plays

(07:49):
a significant role in both comfort and appearance. Natural fibers
like cotton, linen, and wool offer breatheability and drape well,
while blends incorporating some fibers can provide added durability and
wrinkle resistance. Consider the season and the intended occasion when
selecting the fabric. Lighter fabrics are suitable for warmer weather,

(08:12):
while heather heavier fabrics are appropriate for colder months. Consider
the blend carefully to achieve the balance between comfort and
practicality that is essential for a stylish outfit. Accessorizing appropriately
with your shirts and trousers is essential to complete the look.
A well chosen belt enhances the waistline and adds a

(08:35):
touch of style. Consider the materials and buckle in relation
to the occasion. In the overall esthetic, socks should complement
the trousers, preferably matching or closely coordinating with the suits
color palette. Avoid socks that clash drastically with the outfits
color scheme. Although fun socks are totally annual, especially for

(08:57):
men in dress clothes, it is so fun to see
a little bit of a fun sock peaking now. I
love this trend. Choosing the correct accessories plays an understanding
of detail that elevates the overall impression of your attire. Finally,
the art of mastering the perfect fit for shirts and
trousers is an crazy process. Don't be discouraged if your

(09:20):
initial attempts don't yield perfect results. Experiment with different styles
and fits, paying attention to how each garment feels and
looks on your individual body. Seek feedback from trusted sources,
and don't hesitate to alter garments that don't quite fit
as intended, especially ones that are a little bit more

(09:41):
pricey that you're going to have in your closet for
a while, Go ahead, have those altered. It's a few
bucks to make the perfect fit. A well fitting shirt
and trousers are essential foundations for a stylish wardrobe. Attention
to detail and understanding of your body type a crucial
