Silhouette is created by fit and proportion, not logos. Clothing that fits the shoulders and tapers cleanly amplifies frame; baggy or ill-fitting clothing erases it. A small, well-fitted, monochrome-leaning wardrobe outperforms a large, ill-fitting one. Tailoring is the cheapest upgrade most men ignore.
