Option 3 is not as uncommon a choice as you may suppose. While the Lower Figured Bellows may not be at the acme of the distribution curve, you need not resign yourself to sewing each stitch of your gentleman’s apparel. An outline for matching your male’s figure distribution with dapper dressings follows below:
1. Start with a proper shirt. Since lower figures carry a wide hip line, the critical charge becomes mass equalization. In explicit terms, we need to pump up the male shoulder line. One way to amplify is layering: a vest under a suit coat, a hoodie under a blazer, a t-shirt under a dress shirt. Allow shirt tails to trail unless they cascade below the zipper’s end. If this is the case, tuck and blouse the first layer, unbutton any subsequent layers, and use the outer most layer to camouflage any excess love deposits. When selecting layers, place the thinnest, softest layer nearest the body and work out to a more structured shell. Also try to make the layer nearest his face the boldest color or pattern, bringing attention back to his shinning visage.
2. Balance the bottom half. Lower figures are strong willed and slightly moody from the waist down, and they do not care much for uptight trousers. Stocky male thighs are much more amenable to relaxed pant personalities. Particularly breeds with exuberant tolerance through the thigh and seat. The trouser leg should fall straight from the fullest point and nary travel inward toward the flesh as it descends. Any amount of tapering could result in the battle of the britches.
3. Carefully select a jacket. Unlike ladies, gentleman with their full, broadish shoulders can hide beneath a long suit coat. Three-quarter pea coats and full length dress coats stun without breathing word of the secret sequestered beneath the shroud. Even a standard suit coat shroads the majority of their robustly developed loins. Mr. Bellows should however, refrain from double vented suit coats since the back panel might flare. Avoiding track jackets and other top layers with banding at the waist would also be wise since they leave the lower figure completely exposed and enunciated.

I’m still not quite sure how to classify hubby, since he has chubby hips, but is otherwise skinny as a rail. Really – he could probably get his dress shirts on his legs, instead of his arms, right up to the thigh. And no bottom to speak of.
