5 STYLE TIPS FOR BIG AND TALL GUYS TO DRESS SHARP

Men’s clothing is categorically different from women’s clothing. No matter how much you want to dress sharp, you should always take into account that there are certain things that are expected from men by society. One of these expectations is that men should wear pants to work, and that they should also wear a shirt and tie. Some men still think they don’t need to follow that standard, which can cause problems.

Looking to stand out at work? Everyone knows what it means to dress for success but there are certain aspects of men’s clothing that are usually overlooked by men, especially for big and tall guys. If you’re tired of looking sloppy and unprofessional, consider these 5 style tips to dress sharp for big and tall guys.

1. STEER CLEAR OF HEAVY CLOTHING

Thick, hefty fabric draws attention to your girth and makes you appear big.

Heavier clothing may trap heat and lead to excessive perspiration, which is something that many big guys should be aware of. Even if you don’t sweat a lot, it’s always a good idea to wear light clothing.

The difference between fine wool trousers and a pair of thick denim jeans may not appear to be big at first, but after you try them on, you’ll see how important it is. A huge guy will always look and feel better in a smooth, airy fabric draped in crisp lines than in a hefty fabric.

2. KEEP THE FITTING IN CHECK

The key to dressing sharp for big and tall guys is wearing clothes that fit properly. They won’t look like your dad’s old hand-me-downs. You don’t have to rely on the big and tall section in stores or wear ill-fitting clothes in order to look sharp. Neither should you be wearing big and tall hoodies. Consider investing in custom-made items. If you’re the creative type, you can make your own clothes to fit your body type.

It’s true for every man, but it’s more true for big guys: the fit of your clothes is the most critical feature.

Bulges, wrinkles, and drooping material will make your outline seem sloppy. The impact is compounded on a massive guy, and it appears considerably worse. Many obese guys try to hide their stature by wearing clothes that are several sizes too big. Baggy clothes, on the other hand, do not mislead anyone and, in fact, bring attention to your weight while degrading your entire appearance and impression.

There’s also the question of comfort: the better the fit, the more comfortable your clothing feels, which is beneficial for both your mood and look. As a result, the fit of any clothing should always be your first priority. You want the linen to drape loosely over your body, without clinging it too tightly or falling off your skin with noticeable creases.

3. DITCH THE BELTS AND SWAP THEM OUT FOR SUSPENDERS

Belts are ineffective for males who have huge, round tummies. Because the stomach taper, a circular band around it will simply fall off — it’s like attempting to put a collar around the lowest third of a basketball. Suspenders completely prevent the problem by allowing the trouser front to fall in a fluid drape rather than bunching it up at the top. Suspender-wearing is also a good way to keep the quality of your pant purchases up – most inexpensive pants don’t come with internal suspender anchors. You may have them added by a tailor for a few dollars or use metal clamp-style suspenders, but ideally, you should have a great pair of pants that can accept button-style suspenders.

4. KEEP IT SIMPLE AND AVOID PATTERNS

If you have a large frame, you already have a commanding presence. Dress modestly so that the impression is not overpowering. Large-sized men’s clothing reduces the number of patterns to a bare minimum. Broad, solid areas, rather than cluttered images or patterns, assist to compliment your shape. Think solid-color coats, softly striped shirts, and so on.

5. ACCESSORIZE, BUT CAREFULLY

An important aspect of a big man’s appearance is proportion. Bigger is better when it comes to accessories – replace your old, flimsy plastic ballpoints with a fountain pen with heft, for example, and always opt for watches with larger faces.

Additionally, people tend to associate strong, powerful accessories with people of large size, so your size will be associated with strength and presence.

As a big and tall man, you may not be able to change some of your body proportions, but there are still ways that you can dress sharp and look nice. Using these style tips, big and tall guys can dress sharper, feel better and look like a million bucks.
