MALE BODY TYPE JUMPERS
MALE BODY TYPE JUMPERS
THE CONCEPT EXPLAINED
Today’s knitwear industry designs menswear jumpers, without taking into con-
sideration that there are different male bodyshapes: Ectomorph (tall and
skinny), Mesomorph (muscular) and Endomorph (voluptuous). Each of these
bodyshapes have different silhouettes and problem areas that need to be
attended to in detail.
The diversity in male body shapes should be reflected in knitwear designs that
are specifically engenieered to fit each body type, taking into account body
parts that can be improved, to achieve an overall more balanced silhouette.
MALE BODY TYPE JUMPERS develops a different viewpoint on
male bodyshapes by using the Langer’s Lines, which define
the direction within the human skin, providing an alternative
solution to designing jumpers that achieve the best possible
fit by improving certain body parts. In relation to the Langer’s
Lines, the concept of horizontal, vertical, diagonal and nar-
row versus broad lines are applied to create garments that
distract from problem areas and emphasis parts of the body,
such as the shoulders, to improve the overall silhouette.
