 Wear a dark blazer with your striped shirt

Blazers have an amazing structure that will make you look taller and thinner, the form of your shoulders and waist will be more defined. Avoid wearing straight blazers. The darker the color the better.

As a personal conclusion, I firmly think that the most important thing you need to take into account when you’re choosing an outfit is to really love the clothes you own. It doesn’t make any sense to follow these rules is you don’t feel comfortable with the garments you wear! so, make a conscious decision of what is the image you want to project, and wear those garments that really make you happy!
