landsend.com has this thing called "virtual model" wherein you put in your height and weight and nose shape and a bunch of other body metrics and it then generates an unearthly, bizarre image of yourself which you can dress up in their clothing.





Fashion goals...


  • Accentuate the vertical line of your body.
  • Reduce the appearance of volume at all levels


Do's:


  • Choose three button jackets to elongate your silhouette.
  • Regular point collars and wide lapels are best.
  • Vertical stripes, small prints, and dark solid colours are ideal.
  • Stick to supple, light to medium weight fabrics.


Don'ts:

  • Avoid horizontal stripes and large pattern prints.
  • Stay away from stiff, bulky or heavy weight fabrics.
  • Spread or round collars will accentuate your roundness.
  • Try to stay away from tops and bottoms in contrasting colours, as this will break the vertical line of your silhouette.
  • Don't wear clothing that is too tight but remember, clothing that's too baggy adds excess volume.

I see you've been out in the sun a bit (unless this is a Mac gamma versus PC gamma thing).
