More prominent there are still Amazonian ectomorphs, and on the runways, there are still ectomorphs who walk the runways.
Now is not the time to hide your more considerable body. It took this long for people to realize that every shape is stylish with the right know-how is unfortunate. However, embracing fashion is now possible for plus-size men. You can make the most of them by following these tips.
BIGGER GUYS: 5 ADVICE RULES
It’s all about fitness.
There is a temptation to squeeze everything into tight clothes or hide it by sizing up when carrying extra timber. In neither case does it work. According to Thread’s Freddie Kemp, “that doesn’t hide your shape.” Look for tailored and structured clothes to create an attractive silhouette instead of clothes that accentuate your body.
Create layers
No matter how much cheese we have, we love it! In the same manner, we need to add extra layers to plus-size clothing. Plus-size menswear fashion makes the most of blazers, denim jackets, cardigans, and waistcoats as excellent layering pieces. Partner the right pair of denim with good-looking sneakers when you wear layer dresses.
WISELY USE COLOUR
Larger bodies look better in dark, plain colors, but that doesn’t mean you should entirely avoid bright colors. A colorful pocket square will hide your waistline. This trick works beautifully for anything in the upper half from a red beanie to a mustard scarf.
Be aware of your body fat.
The clothes need to be easy to wear when you are wearing them, so you need to consider your body shape. Each of us is unique, as is our body, so finding out the amount of fat that contributes to our plus size is significant. There will be perfect guys, but they might have very little fat on their sides, but they might have a lot of fat on their tummy. Ensure that the neck and armhole of T-shirts, shirts, and pants are fitted as per your measurements, and order a size larger because you should be able to move quickly.
BELONG TO A TAILOR
Clothes from fashion brands are designed to fit the average man. Or, more accurately, what they see as the everyday man. In general, the further you stray from that vision, the more challenging continuously getting dressed becomes. You can make loose shirts fit you better by having a tailor give them shape, make tight waistbands more flexible, and generally make your clothes more comfortable. This continuously improves their looks.
PLAN IN LAYERS
Fashionistas are obsessed with gym-honed bodies, but you can create one by layering. Choose fine knits, jackets, and overshirts that make shape instead of bulk. It’s not weighty enough to cling, says Kemp, “but it won’t turn you into the Michelin Man either.”
CAREFULLY CHECK THE PATTERN
Patterns are powerful, and the more of them there are, the more potent their effects are continuous. A busy print may seem a bit overwhelming on big bodies. Consider a classic and straightforward Breton top instead (you can ignore the notion that horizontal stripes widen the body).
WHAT EVERY BIGGER GUY NEEDS TO KEEP UP THEIR LOOK
TAILORING THAT IS STRAIGHTFORWARD
An all-rounder’s best friend has always been tailoring. Padding in the shoulders, a nipped-in waist, and low buttons will give any jacket a flattering silhouette. Kemp says that a V-shaped neckline with long lapels gives you a slimmer appearance.
TEES IN DARK COLOR
There is some truth to the old saw that black makes you look slimmer; dark clothes don’t show shadows, so lumps and bumps buried underneath aren’t as apparent. If you don’t wear the stuff head-to-toe, it’s perfect for tees, sweatshirts, and shirts, which act as a neutral and flattering base for your look.
TROUSERS WITH TAPERING
You want trousers that fit well around your ankles but will leave some room around your thighs, not too skinny or slim. Toby Saunders, John Lewis menswear buyer, says pleated trousers are back and exceptionally versatile for more prominent men.
HENLEY SUITS
It’s a shame that v-necks are still considered fashion’s the bad boy (for now) since they enhance your shoulders by drawing the eye up. It is possible to create the same effect with other V-shaped collared tops, like the Henley. With this V-neck, bulk is transformed into muscle without the best vibe.
The Monochrome
Adding height can be the best solution when you’ve got more width than you might like. By sticking to a single hue, one can achieve the illusion that one has a longer and leaner figure instead of wearing Cuban heels. The eye flows up and down, not across, as your top and bottom blend into one.
STYLE ICONS FOR MEN IN PLUS SIZE
JONAH HILL
Jonah Hill shows that XL dressing should not be a method of avoiding risk but of embracing it. Known for his boxy tees, cropped jackets, and trim tailoring, the actor-turned-streetwear star can stuff his closet with everything from tie-dye to logos.
KANYE WEST
He’s slimmer since liposuction, but his style back then still revolved around monochrome streetwear, often from head to toe. Oversized tees and drapey jackets have always been the king of his class, creating a solid silhouette through boxy tees and boxy fits.
ADAM RICHMAN
He engineered his wardrobe with the bulk from eating steak every day for his bodyweight, and as a result, became overweight by accident. Tailoring disguises his love handles and creates a more defined outline by emphasizing his shoulders.
WE LISTEN TO THE BEST MENSWEAR BRAND FOR BIG GUYS
MARKS & SPENCER
Almost every wardrobe contains a Marks & Spencer suit or shirt at some point, which is a testament to the variety of cuts and fits it offers. M&S might not be the most cutting-edge brand, but it will always be a godsend for those essentials that fast-fashion brands do not seem to provide above a 38-inch waistline.
LEVI’S
It took a while for denim gods to get on the plus-size menswear, but they’ve made up for it with a Big & Tall collection that recuts their iconic style in waist sizes up to 50 inches. From denim jackets to T-shirts and hoodies, the collection includes a wide range of other items, too.
