Our body shapes are what make us unique – and not every streetwear style flatters every body type. It’s always frustrating to find a fly piece that just doesn’t look the same on you as it did on the model. These simple tips can help you choose the best urban ensemble for your body shape, so you can get out there and shop with confidence!

1. Bamboo-Shaped

The scoop: Tall silhouette, thin limbs, a straighter body.

The fix: Choose baggy, loose styles for the best visual impact. Cargo styles with big pockets look great on this body type, and layering is your friend here! Avoid tight pants, which place exaggerated focus on your vertical proportions, and may lead to a gangly appearance.

2. Positive Triangle

The scoop: Narrow shoulders, thicker middle.

The fix: Heavier, oversized fabrics will balance out the body. To give the illusion of wider shoulders and create a triangular look on the top half, add accessories such as necklaces, trendy hats, and t-shirts with overlays.  

3. Inverted Triangle

The scoop: Athletic and muscular, with strong upper body, wide shoulders, developed legs.

The fix: Flaunt your muscles with styles that highlight your genetic advantages. The key here is to tastefully display your assets, without being too aggressive or “in your face”. To tone down the appearance of your upper body, you can wear oversized tops paired with regular-fit bottoms for a look that is both classy and attractive.

4. Parallel

The scoop: Identical width of waist and hip, typically a thicker midsection. 

The fix: Drop shoulder and heavier weight fabrics are the star here. They will create the illusion of wider shoulders and a narrower waistline, while slim-fit bottoms on the lower body are a great choice for a visually flattering proportion.

5. Oval-Shaped

The scoop: Plus-sized, thicker all-over silhouette.

The fix: Begin with a regular fit t-shirt or base layer, and pair it with an oversized shirt or half shirt over the top, which will reduce the appearance of a thicker abdominal area. Regular fit bottoms are the perfect choice for the lower half of the body, leading to a balanced style that is proportionately appealing.

Are you tired of clothes that fall apart after several washes? Brands that use Streetwear as an excuse for low quality?

The whole idea behind PROJECTISR is that we believe that quality is an essential piece to design. 

Growing up, we have been enthusiastic about fashion and clothing, especially streetwear. We always couldn’t wait for the newest releases, but we soon noticed that the quality of the clothes – both in terms of comfort and durability – did not match up to the price point. While we love these brands because of their truly amazing designs, we also believe that quality and design are equally important factors. From that point on, this became our focus, that our customers can shop with complete peace of mind, confident that PROJECTISR guarantees quality. We believe that you should not sacrifice quality for design, because you deserve both of them. 

What Is PROJECTISR / ˈprɒdʒekt ai-ɛs-ɑr /?

PROJECTISR takes the guesswork out of buying streetwear and connects you to designs that simply can’t be found anywhere else.

PROJECTISR isn’t your average style-house or fashion boutique. Established in 2018 and headquartered in the heart of New York, NY, we collaborate independent talents in the fashion world to deliver original pieces of high-quality streetwear. Inspired by Asian cultures, PROJECTISR works directly with some of the most talented independent designers to offer timeless designs with a modern, 21st-century edge.
