Big men can sometimes find it difficult to walk into a clothing store and purchase something that looks good on them. Some big men like the way they look and are looking for the best fashions to accent their appearance and other big men are trying to use fashion to hide the extra weight they are carrying. Whatever the reason, fashions for big men can sometimes be different than those for smaller men.
Style and Fit
In order to put the positive emphasis on a big man's clothes and take it off his size, ensure the clothes are from current styles and that they look good. Old clothing with tears in it or stuff that has been worn so much that the fabric is nearly see-through, should be avoided. The less layers a big man wears, the more his size will be apparent, so try to wear layers such as a shirt and a sweater if the weather permits.
Make sure the clothing fits well and is not too big or too small. Clothing that is too small will not be able to give the look of a comfortable and well-dressed big man, while clothing that is too large can look sloppy and disorganized. Have suits custom fit so that they look just right, and try to wear as much custom fit clothing as possible. In some cases, it may be beneficial to buy clothes that are the right fit across the body, but are longer than they need to be. This can give the impression of height over girth and can knock some pounds off of a big man's appearance.
Colors and Designs
Wearing bright shirts with loud designs on them draws attention to the curves of the body and should be avoided. A big man should stick primarily with muted colors such as earth tones of brown and black along with beige and gray. Color should only be added in accessories, such as ties and belts. If a big man decides to add flashy color to his wardrobe, he should do so with well-fitted clothes that look good as one outfit. Wearing colorful clothing that does not work together can make the big man look awkward.
When it comes to suits, try to get vertical pinstripes as often as possible. Vertical designs on any clothing work very well, but avoid vertical stripes and designs that are too wide. A series of thin vertical stripes can give a slimming look that wide vertical stripes cannot give.
