Lapels

If the width of the lapel is to wide for your body, you will appear heavier in the chest area.  If it is in proportion with your body your chest will appear more powerful. This is one of the horizontal measurements that will change if you gain or loss over 20 pounds.   Should this happen, contact our office for instructions.

Notice how on the left picture the shoulders appear heavier than the picture on the right.  When a man has a short neck, the turtle neck shirt becomes a problem. As you can see in the picture on the right, the man has a “no neck” look.  The mock turtle neck opens up the face for a better look.

 

Once again the lapel on the left is out of proportion for his body making him appear heavier.  The corrected lapel width immediately gives the appearance of a slimmer look.  The spread of the collar has an impact on dressing.  The picture on the left the man’s face appears heavier where on the right, it is in proportion with his body.
