When it comes to menswear, we dive a bit deeper and break things down into height and frame categories, since we’re concerned with wearing more than a bikini bottom as bodybuilders do. You probably have a good idea where you fit in (pun intended) with this information.
Ectomorphs : Slight-framed bodies, typically skinny.Mesomorphs: Naturally muscular bodies of medium frame.Has difficulty losing weight, gains weight easily. Endomorphs: Large-framed bodies, often with a preponderance of fat.They’re called “somatotypes,” and this is our foundation. Though the following terms are mostly used in the bodybuilding world nowadays, there’s value in being familiar with them. A guy who’s five feet tall and weighs 100 pounds is small-framed, and a guy who’s 6’4″ and weight 275 is large-framed. With three height categories and three frame (not weight) categories, you’ll be able to figure out where you stand pretty easily!Ī simple way to think of “frame” is to think of it as the proportional relationship between your height and weight. Account for athleticism and irregularities where applicable.Confirm your height category as outlined below.Determine your frame using the graphics below.Most body types can be subject to an athletic modifier, though it’s unlikely that someone would be Short & Heavyset with an Athletic modification, for example. They occur in over 95% of men, so it’s highly likely that you will want to read that article in addition to the one for your body type.Īthleticism occurs less often as it requires a lot of hard work to look athletic. Irregularities are random biological occurrences or perhaps the results of accidents.
The athletic and irregular modifiers can be melded with any body type. We didn’t consider weight on its own as a metric. We took three typical height categories (tall, average, and short) and spread them across three different builds: average, slender, and heavyset. Our methodology was to use frame and height as base lines. You’ll receive suggestions around what to wear, typical sizes for your body type, and more. Reading this article will provide you with the guidance you need to determine what your body type is, and from there you’ll be able to click on an article dedicated solely to your body type. We have identified nine different body types and two body type modifications: Irregular and Athletic. To that end, we’ve put together a collection of articles that detail the ins and outs of various male body types. Not all men are created physically equal, and we have to account for different body types when we talk about getting dressed. This is wonderful in the hypothetical world, but practically speaking, it’s a different ball game. Jacket sleeves end at a certain length, trouser waistbands hit at a certain point, and shirts fit in a certain way.
