A men's short jacket is very comfortable. It protects from the cold and does not get tangled in your feet. And it looks cool! Especially when it comes to leather or denim. However, even the most stylish item can look downright questionable if it doesn't fit correctly. What should a man look like in a jacket? Let's find out!
How should a denim jacket fit?
Think about what advantages your figure has? Perhaps you can boast of broad shoulders? Tall? Strong beautiful legs? A well-chosen short jacket is that little trick with which you can highlight your personal advantages.
Choosing a model
First of all, you need to decide on the model.
Oversized
This is the name for very loose things that openly dangle on the person who wears them. Skinny girls love these things. The fact is that oversized emphasizes the fragility of the physique. But a thin man without any particularly prominent muscles will look even more “flimsy” in loose jeans that flare out at the bottom.. A classic case of what not to do.
Important! It makes sense to wear oversized clothing if you are a large man and do not have a deficiency of fat and muscle tissue.
Then a loose denim jacket will give your appearance a slight casualness and highlight your figure in a good way.
Classic straight fit
Such things are selected strictly according to size..
When trying on, look so that the jacket does not dangle anywhere. And so that you can safely do exercises in it. No seams should prevent you from performing a couple of arm swings..
If these two conditions are met, congratulations, you hit the mark with your size!
This jacket has no contraindications. A classic is a classic to suit everyone.
Leather jacket
This is the name for jackets that taper downward and have an oblique triangular collar. Ladies took great pleasure in borrowing this model into their wardrobe. It makes your waist look slimmer than it actually is. And the chest is wider.
Important! It makes sense for a man to wear a biker jacket if he wants to visually enlarge his shoulders. They really look more impressive in such clothes.
But if you have a wide pelvis, it is better to take some other model.
Bomber
This is the name given to a loose short jacket with cuffs on the sleeves and waist. This is not oversized!
Advice. Bombers need to be selected strictly according to size so that the shoulders are in the right place. But they shouldn’t be tight either.
This style should not be worn if you are fuller than you would like. But the bomber suits skinny guys very well.
Attention to detail
All these models, despite their differences, have some common parameters.
- The length of the sleeve should reach the wrist or even be a little longer (no more than 3 cm). By the way, you can always roll up your sleeves - it’s also fashionable now, in addition to being convenient.
- Having buttoned the jacket completely, you should not feel any discomfort.. If the chosen model is difficult to fasten and looks strained or bulging, this is not your option!
- Pay attention to the volume of the product. In the shoulders, chest and waist, any model (except oversized) should be exactly to the figure.
- Optimal length should not go down beyond the trouser belt by more than 7–8 cm (not lower than the pelvic bones).
How should a leather jacket fit?
The leather jacket is in some ways very similar to the denim jacket - they even have many models in common. But there are also important differences. For example, oversized clothes are never made from leather. It doesn't look good and wears out quickly.
Important! Buy the product only in your size! The skin tends to stretch, so a model purchased “with a reserve” will look unattractive and baggy.
Otherwise, leather styles are very similar to denim ones. We are talking about the same biker jackets, bomber jackets, straight cut. Look, evaluate what suits you.
Important! In order for the model you choose to look truly advantageous, you need to select shoes, trousers, a T-shirt or shirt and other wardrobe items to go with it.
It's not difficult, leather jackets and jeans go with almost everything.
You should absolutely not repeat some mistakes.
- Wear classic things with a leather jacket, like ironed trousers with creases, Oxfords and snow-white shirts.
- Wear pants of the same color and leather.
A leather jacket or denim jacket is a “relaxed”, but stylish, effective option that is well suited for every day. You only need to think once when purchasing which model will fit you best.And no longer worry about whether you look good enough.
