Advantages of wide denim in coordinating
The advantage of wide denim is that it can create a masculine, mature, and relaxed look with just the right amount of looseness. Moreover, since they do not pick up the lines of the body, they are easy to incorporate without concern for body shape. Once you get the hang of creating a modern silhouette and tucking in tops with a high waist in mind, you can create stylish outfits that rival those of skinny denim. However, it is a well-known fact that if the wrong items are chosen, the look can become dowdy and drab. Extremely oversized or overly loose-fitting silhouettes will ruin the mature look, and the balance of the silhouette will also look dowdy.
What are three tips for coordinating wide denim?
Tips for wide denim men’s coordination (1) “Roll up and bring the center of gravity to the bottom for a good balance.
Wide denim has a strong overall presence due to its silhouette, so it is important to remember the technique of balancing it out by rolling it up. Rolling up the shirt lowers the center of gravity, both visually and in terms of volume, to the bottom, creating a well-balanced look. Of course, there are other ways to achieve balance besides rolling up, such as using ankle length for a lighter look or full length to create a cushion, so choose the best styling in consideration of the overall coordination.
Tips for wide denim men’s coordination (2) “The sizing and silhouette of the top item determines the overall impression of the outfit.
The coordination impression will completely change depending on whether you choose short-length or long-length tops. For example, if the upper half of the body is kept compact, such as by wearing short-length outerwear or tucking in a T-shirt, it will emphasize the crispness of the wide denim and create an A-line silhouette. On the other hand, if an oversized coat or long coat is worn, the larger silhouette will resonate to create a loose I-line silhouette. One of the pleasures of wide denim coordination is to think about how to match tops according to one’s mood of the day and one’s styling preferences.
Tips for wide denim men’s coordination (3) “Choose something that is easy to balance with a moderately wide leg that can maintain a mature look.
Avoid items that are extremely oversized or have an overly loose silhouette, and choose items that are easy to balance with a moderately wide leg that maintains a mature look. No matter how you style your clothes, if they give off a too-too-matchy or boyish impression, they may end up looking dowdy and drab.
