Dramatic Men’s Wearing
Written on September 14, 2008 – 5:44 am | by dodo
You are a man of design, style, detail and sharp contrasts. The dramatic man is authoritative, innovative, assertive. Everything about his appearance makes a bold statement; his clothes are of the latest fashion but not faddish.
The man who can wear dramatic attire is usually tall and lean, sometimes very thin, with broad, horizontal shoulders. Your body tends to have long, vertical lines rather than a chunky look, and your hair is dark or strikingly blonde or grey. Nothing about you is middle-of-the-road. You have angular facial features, perhaps a sharply pointed nose or chin and an angular body. You have a certain elegance about you, and walk with long strides and a confident air. You have built- in authority by virtue of your size and striking colouring. Your looks call for you to dress with authority, sophistication and a degree of formality. In general, you wear bold or dark colours mixed with your season’s white for maximum contrast. On you, more is still conservative. Relative to your size and colouring, more still looks like less. Even your hair can be a bit long, but must be styled and controlled, definitely in touch with the latest fashion.
Dramatic Men’s Business clothes
You can easily achieve the businessman image. For business or dress you look best in a boldly structured silhouette, an average width lapel, vertical seams in the jacket and a slightly fitted waist. You may wear a single or double vent, depending on your personality and job environment. Your style calls for trousers without turn-ups unless your legs are so long that you want to minimise them. For social occasions you may want to buy a double-breasted suit. If your work allows you the freedom to be a little more stylish, do so. On you, less conservative clothes still look conservative because they are in harmony with your body type.
You look best in a dark, solid suit in navy, charcoal grey or brown, depending on your season, worn with crisp white or light shirts. You are also the perfect candidate for pinstriped suits. High-contrast prints — such as a light pinstripe on a dark background — are appropriately sharp on you, but you find most checks too blended or casual. A bold check in dark colours and a rough fabric could work for you. You don’t wear tweeds well because they offer so little contrast, though a striking herringbone may be all right for variety.
You wear stiffer fabrics, such as heavy gabardine or smooth worsteds, with a firm finish and a crisp silhouette. No flannels for you — at least not the kind that look fuzzy. You’re a formal fellow, really, and not very soft around the edges.
Dramatic Men’s Dressy leisure wear
You dress boldly and favour extremes — either solid, dark-coloured blazers (maybe even double-breasted) or a heavily textured or patterned jacket (say a bold houndstooth check). Subtle tweeds just fade away on you. Pleated wool trousers are great, though you can wear non-pleated slacks just as well. You will always wear wool or cotton trousers rather than cords or jeans with your jacket.
Dramatic Men’s Shirts
You look best in a crisp, light shirt (solid white, light pastel or icy) with a plain pointed collar, either regular or wide spread. Choose cotton with a hard finish for the sharpest look. Also excellent on you are bold stripes, hairline stripes and bold checks or plaids. A coloured shirt with a contrasting white collar and cuff might work — probably with a stripe, and usually best for Winters. You practically never wear cloth button-downs, knits, or checks or muted plaids. You tend to dress up a little more than the next fellow.
Dramatic Men’s Ties
Your ties must always make a strong statement and offer sharp contrast to your shirts, though you can also wear a monochromatic look with a shirt and tie from the same colour family. Solid colours, especially dark or bright reds, are excellent. Your best patterns are stripes with bold contrasts, either a widely spaced pinstripe or widish stripes irregularly spaced. An overall geometric pattern is good. A small patterned tie is usually not expressive enough for you, but it may work if you choose one with a repeat pattern of high contrast and sharp lines (diamonds rather than circles). Any dot pattern should be extreme, preferably with large dots — medium looks boring on you. Any pattern you choose should offer contrast within the tie. Plaids and checks are too casual for you and club ties are too conservative. You look great in a silk tie with a sheen. One word of caution: be careful not to ruin your look with loud ties. A dramatic look simply calls for more contrast, darker or brighter colours, straight rather than curved lines and patterns.
Dramatic Men’s Shoes
For work, your shoes are smooth and highly polished with a medium to thin sole and a slightly pointed toe. These shoes are okay for dressy leisure wear, too, though you may want a dressy pull-on shoe.
Dramatic Men’s Casual wear
The Dramatic man always likes to make a fashion statement and dresses in outfits. For horseback riding you have riding clothes; for the tennis court, whites. Your casual clothes can be stripes or solids, again offering contrast, or brightly coloured cotton knit shirts. You are a man of extremes in texture and expression. If you are conservative, keep your casual clothes relatively formal with non-pleated slacks in wools (for cold weather) or cottons and gabardines. Jeans are your least good look because they are so average. Wear designer jeans, tight jeans or baggy jeans. Choose sweaters of heavy cable knits or geometric pattern or stripes, either formfitting or on the baggy side. If a pair of silk lounging pyjamas and a smoking jacket really appeal to you, you know you have a Dramatic flair.
Dramatic Men’s Coats
Your coat may be either a dark double-breasted overcoat of cashmere or fine wool or a heavily textured wraparound with a tie belt. Your trenchcoat can’t be ordinary; go for something with a bold silhouette. Think oversize for coats. Wear anything big and bulky — you can carry it off! An extremely padded shoulder or a dropped shoulder makes a strong fashion statement for you, and dark colours work well.
Dramatic Men’s Jewellery
Any jewellery you wear should look important. Your watch should be large rather than slimline, with either a textured leather or a metal band. You may wear a ring with a stone or large cufflinks that make a statement.
Dramatic Men’s Formal
A dinner suit looks great on you. If you are a Winter, you’ll stick to a black one because it looks so dashing on you.
