With so many different elements to consider when throwing together an outfit, the chances of running into a roadblock are relatively high; especially for those who are new to putting effort into their appearance. One of the most difficult aspects of streamlining one’s style is being able to choose clothes that fit correctly. Even the most attractive outfit will look terrible if it doesn’t fit right, which makes choosing clothing based upon fit an extremely important skill to learn. By taking the following tips into consideration, you can give your appearance a much needed shot in the arm if finding the right fit is something you struggle with.

Understand Your Body Type
The first step to choosing clothes that fit correctly is to understand your body type. As one might expect, body type has a huge impact on whether or not a specific type of clothing fits right, and should always be taken into consideration when searching for the perfect fit. Those who are short in stature, for example, should seek out clothing that is long and sleek in appearance in order to put together the most attractive ensemble, while big and tall men should avoid pleated pants and bulky jackets; neither of which are likely to be flattering. Fortunately, every body type corresponds with a style of clothing that fits in a way that is flattering, and finding the one that is right for you typically comes down to experimenting with clothing of different styles and materials.

Work with a Tailor
For those who have to dress in a professional manner for work and/or social events, choosing clothing that fits correctly is of the utmost importance. There’s no better way to perfect the fit of your clothing than to work with a tailor. Tailors are adept at finding the right fit for individuals of all different sizes and body types, and can be extremely helpful for those who are having difficulty sizing their clothing correctly. Choosing a good tailor isn’t always easy, however, and often requires a bit of leg work. Look for tailors who have good communication skills, as well as those who have been in business for at least ten years. When sitting down with a tailor for the first time, describe your style in as detailed a manner as possible to ensure that his or her talents will be a good fit.

Avoid Baggy/Tight Clothing
A common mistake made by men of all walks of life is wearing clothing that is too baggy. The fact is, men’s clothing should be form-fitting, which means avoiding items that are either baggy or excessively tight. This is especially true of formal attire, in which case baggy clothing often connotes a lack of professionalism or sophistication. Don’t be afraid to move towards clothing that is a bit smaller than normal if you are used to wearing baggy clothes; on the contrary, consider wearing looser-fitting clothing if you typically wear clothes that are exceedingly tight.
