'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 should be in equilibrium. 5.      Ease – it refers to the difference between the me

Lines & Shapes

Hello everyone, today I am going to tell you all that what does these (lines and shapes) terms means to a fashion designer. According to Fashion Terminology, we study two different meanings of lines and shapes. The first meaning of both these terms is what a normal person is familiar with; line is a ray that extends in both directions and shape is an enclosed space formed by lines. But the most literate meaning of line for a Fashion Professional is that line refers to the alignment of the structural lines of the garment with the natural lines of the body, i.e.,  side seams of the garment should be perpendicular to the floor. And shape is the other name of silhouette, i.e., the line of an apparel, or the garment's over all shape. We as designers use these terms with their literal meaning only when are designing a pattern or a design which we are supposed to use in the apparels.
