So I’m running this special blog today because it is a blog request from one of our biggest supporters who wanted to know “How can a Big & Tall Man look Bespoke?”, quite easy and were about to tell you all about it and how!

So lets cut the mustard! If you gained a few extra pounds over the years, some might say who cares, right?

Well, I’m pretty certain you care but rest assured generally all of us care about some extra weight in some shape or fashion. So just because you’re a bulkier guy, that doesn’t mean you have to stop looking your best and compromise your style. When buying clothes in general — no matter if you’re tall or short, chubby or slim — your goal is to find those that fit great and make you look your best. Of course, you should also find the best possible quality of clothing for the cheapest possible price.

Good quality and classic styles will always serve you well, so the next time you go shopping, make sure to inspect each item carefully and take these slimming tips into account before purchasing them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NFL LB Dhani Jones gets Bespoke

 

BIGGER SIZE, GREATER FASHION

Most heavier guys always want to look thinner and tend to wear loose fitting clothes to cover up their excess baggage. Unfortunately, baggy clothes are a huge no-no for bulkier guys since they’ll add mass instead of camouflage it. Tight fitting clothes, on the other hand, aren’t recommended either because they’ll highlight your body’s pronounced curves and attract unwanted attention to your larger body parts.

The first step to improving the way your body looks when dressed up is to improve your diet and perform regular physical activity. Where clothing guidelines are concerned, use the following tips:

BLAZERS

Every man should own at least one quality blazer. A blue blazer, for example, is versatile and can be worn almost anywhere: weddings funerals and formal parties. When choosing a blazer, larger men should avoid double-breasted blazers because these will make the upper body look even plumper.

Instead, opt for a nicely fitted single-breasted blazer, preferably one that can be buttoned all the way up. The higher buttons will help divert people’s attention from the area between your waist and chest. Also, make sure your jacket is well-adjusted because a badly tailored jacket will make you look chunky and sloppy.

Pinstripes and other vertically striped patterns also help give your body a more elongated look. On the other hand, plaid, windowpane, horizontal stripes, and other such patterns will make your body look wider.

SHIRTS AND SWEATERS

Again, when shopping for tops, remember that good quality will go a long way. Make sure your tops are well-adjusted to fit your body, without being too tight or loose. Bulky wool sweaters, for example, will add undesired volume to your waist and chest.

Instead, opt for lighter fabrics such as cotton, linen or thinner blends of wool and synthetic fibers. Another quick tip is to wear V-necks to draw the attention away from your chin and neck area and to your upper chest. Crew necks, on the other hand, will emphasize your necks’ thickness.

It’s all about making your body look more vertically rather than horizontally elongated.
For great shirts, I suggest you check out Paul Fredericks, Co. which has a Big & Tall online catalogue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SLACKS

Once more, if you’re a rotund individual, try not to wear tight or baggy pants. When buying pants, a good fit is essential. Also, try to avoid pants with pleats, as they’ll make your pelvic area look bigger.

The idea is to make your stems look longer rather than wider. If your belly sticks out, consider wearing suspenders under your blazer, thereby removing the visual spotlight from your midriff.

Hopefully these tips will help you find clothes that fit better and more importantly, make you feel better. Keep them in mind the next time you go shopping.

Until next time, keep on stylin’ Stylistocratic Style .
