This Is How A Man-Makeover Can Boost Your Appearance
A man makeovers!? Yes, guys. Makeovers are no longer just for ladies. Personal stylist, Tracy Gold, shows us the difference the right clothing makes.
I recently conducted a few male makeovers in the Kurt Geiger store in Sandton City to demonstrate the difference the right clothing can make to a man’s look.
This Fabian’s makeover
His build:
Fabian has very broad shoulders with a narrow torso and legs. The aim is to de-emphasise his shoulders and add a little bulk to his torso and legs.
His look before:
This baggy jersey fits his shoulders, but gives his torso no shape
What I did for Fabian’s makeover and why:
- The v-neck of the pullover works to de-emphasise his shoulders, drawing the eye down his body instead of across his shoulders.
- The fact that the pullover is sleeveless works well as it doesn’t have to fit his shoulders and fit his torso.
- He can wear this pullover over baggy tee shirts to give them shape.
- The pullover adds a bit of bulk to his torso, giving his build balance.
- The slim leg trousers (rather than skinny styles) works to add a little bit of extra bulk to his legs.

I’m sorry guys, I only saw these comments now. The skinny is much tighter in the calf and ankle area. The slim leg is a little wider in the calf and ankle and often covers the top of your shoe, thus making your legs look a bit longer. In the before photograph, his trousers are a bit baggy for his shape. In the after pic, the slim leg lives him an slim line look…if that makes sense.
