What clothes make you look bigger?

So if your goal is to appear bigger, pick patterns that stretch across your frame, rather than up and down, says Boye. Find shirts with a darker color on top and a lighter shade on the bottom. The dark hue stretching across your chest and shoulders will create the illusion of more muscle, he says.

Whether you’re a hardgainer or already jacked, most of us would gladly take a little more muscle. But are your clothes making you look smaller than you actually are? Don’t let that happen.

Here are three style tricks for maximizing the muscle you already have.

1. Study the Seams

Check where your shirt’s seams line up on your shoulders. If they trickle right below, then it’ll look like you aren’t big enough to fill out your shirt, says Brian Boye, Men’s Health’s executive fashion director. But if the seams lie squarely on or just above your shoulders, they’ll look broader. “People will assume you’re so big that not even your shirt can contain you,” he says.

2. Find the Perfect Fit

A well-fitting shirt will accentuate your biceps and chest, but there’s a big difference between snug and skin-tight, says Boye. “Choose the size that hugs your arms and shoulders, but not your mid section.” Go with a cotton T-shirt with a 1- to 5-percent stretch. Shirts in this range don’t wrinkle as much, and cling to your frame more than all-cotton tees, Boye says. He recommends the Pima Stretch Crew from Banana Republic or the Stretch T-shirt from H&M.;

3. Pick a Strategic Pattern

You know that horizontal stripes make you look wider, and vertical stripes make you look taller. So if your goal is to appear bigger, pick patterns that stretch across your frame, rather than up and down, says Boye. Find shirts with a darker color on top and a lighter shade on the bottom. The dark hue stretching across your chest and shoulders will create the illusion of more muscle, he says.

How to touch her to build attraction?

Ask her if she would like to be touched with a phrase like "Can we hold hands?", or move slowly but clearly. Give her a light and casual touch. Brush your arm up against hers, place your hand on the small of her back, or just pass her a pen or a notebook and let your hands linger near each other's.

Though it's nice to let the girl go first, don't make a big production of touching her every time you do this, or she'll start to think you're only being a good person so you can touch her, which shouldn't be the case. Open the door for her and allow her to go first through doors, corridors or small crowds. A nice, firm gesture would be to press with your hand just above her waist (you can set your hand anywhere on her back to guide her through the door, if you two are really comfortable around each other, you might be able to place it lower than the hip). Walk towards the door (or corridor), while saying "after you." Other spots to press would be the back of the arm, just above the elbow (especially recommended if she is wearing short sleeves), or very softly and cautiously on the shoulder.
