Stick to dark, solid colors. Wear a jacket whenever you can, but make sure it’s fitted well — you don’t want any strain or sag. Wear your trousers up at the natural waist instead of down on the hips, and if you can, buy trousers without belt loops and use suspenders instead.
Also be sure to avoid any extra detailing that you don’t need. Trouser cuffs, ticket pockets, tie bars — anything that throws a horizontal line across your body where you don’t have to have one. Your goal is to have as smooth an up-and-down path for the eye of anyone who’s looking at you.
