'Designing Men's Wardrobe'



If you think that menswear does not have broad classification, then obviously there is not much designing required; then its kind of underestimating men. In fact, it's just the opposite; if there is not much to classify for menswear then designing becomes more difficult, as in you have to create new designs with limited classes.

Let,s begin with the classification of men's fashion - Shirts (Classic, Sleeveless, Oxford buttoned-down, Dress Shirt, Hawaiian Shirt, T-Shirt and Polo Shirt), Pants (Dressy pants or Trousers, Baggy Pants, Cargo Pants and Jeans), Shorts (Bermudas or Boxers, Khaki and Safari), Suits ( Formal, Sporty Suit, Casual Suit, Two Piece Suit and Three Piece Suit) and Traditional Wear.

As you may see its not even the one-fourth of what womeswear is classified as. It becomes really hard to design for men as there is not much of styling or recreation that can be done. Also, in addition to this, there very small amount of men who really want to try out something different and which is flaunting style.

So, for me as designer, the situation is either I need to go out and convince people that trying out something different, sometimes adds to your personality; or I may explore my mind and really come out with different designs which don't change the outlook of the clothing but adds to styling; or I am left with the only option of not styling much and serving my clientele with the regular designs. Therefore, as I said above men require more design elements to show off their styling.

Men’s apparel is just as appealing!

Nowadays, the most stylish men devour page after page of fashion advice and grooming tips. So here I am to share my knowledge with our studs. The very first rule says that never wear a bad fit; for whatever you wish to wear, it won’t look good on you until ‘ n’ unless it fits your body properly. So evaluating fit is the key to stand out in a room full of masculine bodies. To do so, keep in mind the following   5 elements of evaluating fit: 1.      Grain – a garment should be cut on the right grain or on grain to achieve good fit. 2.      Set – it refers to the smooth fit, i.e., without any wrinkles. 3.      Line – for a proper fit the structural line of the garment should align with the natural lines of the body. 4.      Balance – according to this, the right and left side of the garment should appear balanced or symmetrical when viewed from front, side or back; which means that the garment s...

Drawing Out An Inspiration!!! It's Not What You Think!

Drawing out an inspiration does not mean that you sketch something; it means that you draw(extract) out a color story, or a motif, or a pattern, or any other design element from a picture, or an object, or a monument, or may be anything that feels attractive to you; which can be used in your illustrations or designs. I'll show as many examples as I can on this post to make it familiar to you on how can inspiration can be drawn out typically from anything that is suited to be used as a design element. In the pictures shown above, the first one is a picture of the nature which is actually clicked by a friend of mine; and the other one is a picture of my illustration, which is actually my first inspiration that I made almost a year ago. From this picture there are many elements that I have used in one design. Like you may have noticed that the color story is definitely drawn out from the picture itself. The other thing is the motif that is used on the lower part of the garment. Now, i...
