Learn about some great fashion advice for fat men. A lot of men struggle with their weight, but who wants it to be obvious? It would be great to dress for your own body type.

  1. Slacks go casual or dressy. Get slacks in your size that do not hug your stomach, but fit comfortably. Make sure the leg has a straight down fit, and doesn't widen as the leg goes down. Get them at your waist with no pleating. Look for this fit with slacks and jeans for fat men.
  2. Basic button down shirts for fat men. Your basic button down shirt also takes you from semi-casual to dressy. Just make sure the collar has a traditional look. Don't get loud patterns, get a smallish checkered pattern or vertical stripes. The length shouldn't be any longer than a few inches below your waist for fat men.
  3. Take a chance at a plus sized store. Fat men have a few stores tailored to them to some extent. Some of the stores are apt to be a bit on the pricey side, and you'll have to decide if that works or not. But if you just take a look in the store geared to fat men, you'll see mannequins dressed very well to get you to buy the clothes. Look at how the mannequins are dressed. Maybe even take a picture of the mannequin and then take it with you to which ever store you decide to shop at.

Even if you are a fat man in the process of trying to get into better shape, getting clothes that flatter your temporary shape is great to give you a bit of confidence. Feel good that even though you know you are a fat man, you are trying to make the most of your wider self and not using it as an excuse to dress like a slob.
