The Lounge: Fly For The Heavy-Set Guy

Tip #4: Put The Details On A Diet

A lot of times appearance comes down to the details. What may seem unimportant at the time may be the thing you can’t quite think of when you’re trying to figure out what’s throwing your outfit off. If you’re throwing a tie on, make sure it’s not a really wide tie. If you’re wearing a dress shirt, make sure the collar isn’t too big. If you’re wearing a suit jacket or blazer, check to make sure the lapels aren’t too wide. The wider these things are, the wider you look. Also, heavier guys usually pull off 3 button suit jackets better than slimmer guys, who have an easier time pulling off a 2 button jacket.
