Dressing well is more than just picking expensive designer clothes. The key in dressing well is understanding what colors compliment your color profile as well as knowing what cuts and styles flatter your body type. This brief article will teach bigger men how dressing well can help loose a few pounds - or at least it will look like it.
The Clothing "DOs" For Big Men:
The easiest way to reduce some inches on the waistline is by choosing the right patterns and colors on your clothing. They key is to make the body look longer, which in turn will make you look thinner. The best pattern to do this are pin stripes on suits and shirts. As far as colors are concerned, dark colors are best. You may have heard that "black makes thin" - although in business dark navy or dark charcoal gray suits are better suited.
As far as cuts are concerned, it is key to choose clothing that doesn't make you look like a stuffed sausage. So, besides choosing wider cuts, pleated pants as well as suit jackets that have wider cuts on the sides are going to be your best bet. For the dress shirt choose a collar spread that is much wider, and match this with a more voluminous necktie knot like the Double Windsor Knot - this will make your neck look thinner, and your clothing will look more proportionate to your body type.
The Clothing DON'Ts for Bigger Guys:
The biggest NOs are horizontal stripes, and clothes in lighter colors - both will add pounds to your waistline. In addition stay away from clothes that are to tight. If they don't fit anymore it is time to either loose some weight or to buy new clothes. Wearing clothes that are too tight will make you look like a stuffed sausage. Last but not least, stay away from lighter fabrics.
