This Christmas, I am planning on buying my boyfriend clothes, and luckily, I have been saved by Trinny and Susannah, the British queens of fashion and body shapes. I recently saw an episode of their show that was entirely devoted to men and how they dress.   Men also have body issues and need us women to help them out when it comes to disguising certain flaws, so the two women took it upon themselves to educate the British males on dressing for their shapes. They even had realistic mannequins of male physiques (and yes that even included beer bellies!)

So if you want to buy your partner some new wardrobe essentials, or just want to drop them some hints, then read the following advice:
 
For men on the thinner side 
Do wear pants that sit on the hip bone
 
Do wear short sleeved shirts
 
Do wear skinny jeans
 
Don't wear horizontal strips
 
Don't wear contrasting colours
 
For men with 'man boobs'
Do wear shirts with pockets
 
Do wear vertical stripes
 
Do wear prints
 
Don't wear fine knit jumpers
 
Don't wear shiny fabrics (footy shirts)
 
Don't wear vests
 
For men with that hard-to-shift beer belly
Do wear loose t-shirts
 
Do wear low-waisted jeans
 
Do wear darker shirts under lighter tops
 
Don't wear shirts too short or too long
 
Don't wear contrasting colours

For men on the shorter side
Do go for continuous colour - blue t-shirt/blue jeans
 
Do wear vertical stripes
 
Don't wear white trainers with jeans
 
Don't wea three-quarter length jackets
 
Don't wear shirts that are too long or too short
