Dressing tips for plus size men, and achieve an elegant look

Dress tips? Being a plus size man does not mean leaving formal or sophisticated looks behind. In fact, being one can even help to look much more elegant and attractive, since you can take advantage of the size of the individual to shine more and make your figure better.

Here we decided to leave some dressing tips so that all plus size men can achieve that sophisticated look that is really not difficult to achieve.

Leave the belt

The belt, despite being quite a valuable item in men's formal attire, has one drawback: it divides the body in two. This can look bad on some plus size men as the upper body looks wider while being split with the legs which don't usually look as big.

The advice is to wear suspenders. The suspenders will not only give a more sophisticated touch to a suit or smart casual outfit (since they are not so common) but also give a more distinguished touch to plus size men and create an optical illusion with the vertical lines that lengthen the body. Here you just have to make sure to wear wide straps and mix it up with the next tip.

Find your suit fit

Typically, the recommendation is always to consider a tailor, but we know not everyone can afford one so the closest thing we can do is find clothes that look like they're tailored. Of course, this requires you to try on the garments until you find an ideal size, but it is necessary so that you look "big" all over the body and not just focus on one area of ​​the body.

Consider the shoulders of the jacket, which should sit flush with yours, close properly in front, and the pants shouldn't be too tight either.

This also goes with other clothes. If you want to look good, you only need a garment with the appropriate fit, neither too loose (as some plus size men tend to wear) nor too tight or it will be counterproductive.

The pants

Another thing to consider with the suit pants is that, to have a better look, we can look for those with a high waist or a natural waist (avoid anything that is below they). This way, we can wrap around the stomach area instead of it being pushed up. On the other hand, consider pants with pleats, which gives it a more straight and sophisticated look.

The Suit Vest

Although three-piece suits are less and less common now, this can really be a valuable item for plus size men, giving them a much more formal and sophisticated look. In this way we cover the part of the torso and below it mixes with the pants. Just reconsider the fit of the garment and you're good to go.

Forget about baggy

It is common for some plus size men to opt for baggy clothes to try to hide their figure. However, this does not have as effective an effect and, as we already mentioned, fit is key. For pants of any kind, we recommend avoiding pants that are too big and finding a cut that fits the shape of your legs, without being too tight. Also, the length should be just below the ankle so that it does not bend and always of a straight figure.

One last bit of advice would be to wear shiny shoes that can accompany a serious look. They are the final point and will draw a lot of attention, complementing a good outfit.
