My neckline and well proportion man

Ladies

Ladies, once you know your figure type, bring your attention to your neck where it draws the most attention because it makes an impact on the appearance of your neck, chin, face and overall impression.

Now let have a simple quiz, the figures below show two types of cutting-boat and crew neck. Try to figure out which figure type is not suitable for the particular cutting and guess the reason, e.g. linear figure is not suitable for crew neck.


Boat Neck


Crew Neck
Answer: The Boat neck cutting is generally suitable for all except for the upper figure woman (big shoulders) as the cutting makes them look like they are professional wrestler who are well trained in the gym.
The crew neck is not suitable for full figure woman as the cutting makes them appear they have short neck and heavy bodies.

Gentleman

The figure below shows a man with a proportion figure and he looks well dress if he allows his top to be tucked in loosely.

In addition, he should try to avoid wearing baggy trouser if he is shorter than 1.68m and slim fitting trouser if he is taller than 1.83m. Guess why?


Answer: If you are shorter than 1.68m and you are wearing baggy pants, would you look like a windmill with bag of winds beneath your short.

If you are taller than 1.83m and you are wearing slim fitting pants, you will draw more attention to your legs as they might resemble two parallel lines.

C. Full Figure
D. Lower Figured
E. Upper Figured

This week, let us talk about (E) Upper Figured


You might have shoulders that are wider than your waist and hips. Your upper body is attracting more attention as compared to the lower half.

Gentleman

By now you should know your figure type whether it is triangle, rectangle or rounded, and you can always refer to the previous posts should you have no clues about it.

Next, you need to know what your proportion-your height and build.

A short figure is defined as if you are shorter than 1.68m, and average height is between 1.68 to 1.83m.

In addition, you should also try to measure the size of your chest. If your chest dimension is less than 97cm-you are considered to have a fine scale figure. If your chest dimension is between 97-112 cm, you belong to the average scale group.

Look at the two types of fabrics below; try to figure out which types are more suitable for you?

I gonna get dress for success-Part 1 of 5


Ladies

You can dress well, and it starts with knowing your figure (shape).

There are five types of shapes:
A. Linear Figured
B. The Hourglass
C. Middle Figure
D. Lower Figured
E. Upper Figured

Let start with (A) Linear Figured

Your bust, waist and hip dimension all measure about the same. You should have a small bust and narrow hips, which makes your waist appears wider or more inline with your upper and lower torso.



Your long legs further contribute to the linear appearance, but woman with shorter legs can also have a linear figure if your upper body is straight.

Ladies, is that your figure?

Gentleman


Most people look at your face to gauge your presentation and personality. The individual element that makes up your face may not be outstanding; but if you maintain them well, you can create an impression that is both professional and personal.

Remember it only requires 7 seconds to read you and it starts off with your face, therefore please shave!!

Shaving equipment


a. A shaving brush
b. Shaving soap
c. Razor

How to shave (Singapore Style)

A. Shave after a shower or apply hot water to the face prior to shaving help to soften the beard and open the pores.

B. Apply a good amount of shaving cream to your face using your fingers in a circular motion.

C. Start shaving your beard in the direction of your beard. Shaving against the direction of the beard will only result in razor burn (blood).

D. After shaving, apply cold water to your face to close the pores and pat your skin dry.

E. Apply moisturizer or after shave products to maintain moisture.

It was the shaving that bothered me the most. I'm not a great fan of shaving and I had to be really clean-shaven, hands, head, hairline, all the fluff off my face, everything except my eyebrows, so this sheen, this kind of polish they used on me, would stick. -Jude Law

After all, you are not the same person when we were five, ten, fifteen or even twenty years ago. So, why should you still stick on to the same types of dressing?
