What should men wear to look thinner?

The best way to look thinner as a man is to choose clothes that create an optical illusion. Vertical stripes, zips, and pockets can help elongate the body and make you look slimmer. On the other hand, horizontal lines will make you look wider and shorter, so it's best to avoid them if possible. Additionally, wearing well-fitting clothes can also help you appear thinner. If your clothes are too baggy, they will make you look larger than you actually are. However, if they're too tight, they will be uncomfortable and unflattering. Instead, aim for clothing that skims your body without being too constricting.

What shades and colors make fat men look better?

In general, darker colors are also more slimming than lighter hues. If you want to look thinner, try incorporating black, navy, or dark grey into your outfit. These colors can help to create a slimming effect and make you look more polished overall. Of course, you don't have to wear dark colors all the time. Just be sure to balance them out with lighter pieces so you don't look too top-heavy.

Do bigger shirts make you look thinner?

Another common question is whether or not bigger shirts make you look thinner. The answer is that it depends on how the shirt fits. A baggy, oversized shirt will make you look larger than you actually are. On the other hand, a well-fitting shirt that is slightly bigger than your size can help you look thinner. This is because it will skim your body without being too constricting.

Although you can essentially hide behind a large shirt, it is extremely obvious to anyone who is looking at you that you are doing it in order to hide your body shape. A longer shirt that is slightly too big for you is definitely the best option here.

Luigi Borrelli is a fantastic brand that has some beautiful shirts that are perfect for formal occasions. Zilli is maybe better for those who are looking for a more casual shirt made from silk. Cesare Attolini and Kiton are, of course, at the very top of the shirt-making game. Their shirts are an exceptional example of sartorial excellence - and they have everything from Tuxedo shirts to Dinner shirts.

Here is a great example of a Kiton Shirt:

 

What should fat people not wear?

Fat people should avoid vivid colors such as yellow, orange, and red. Frankly - you will end up looking like a tomato if you wear a red suit to a hot wedding. You'll be sweating basically non-stop also.

Yellow and orange have a similar effect - they just make you look bigger than you really are - and they also make you stick out like a sore thumb. These are both things you are wanting to avoid.

The perfect suit for a fat man would be dark blue or black. The darker the color, the thinner you will look. Navy is also a great option as it has a slimming effect. Avoid pinstripes as they can make you look wider than you are.

Solid colors are always a good choice, but if you want to add some pattern to your outfit, go for something with light vertical stripes.

How to choose a suit as a chubby man to look skinnier and more confident

If you're specifically looking for a suit, perhaps for a wedding, then you will need to choose extremely carefully. Fortunately, a lot of the Sartorial companies such as Kiton, Cesare Attolini, Zilli, and more - make a lot of suits that are for larger men. Fashion used to be extremely exclusive, but these companies are (more and more) offering alternatives for everyone.

Another thing you should definitely think about is the fabric. You want to choose a fabric that is both light and also breathable. Something such as cotton, linen, or thin wool should be perfect. You want to avoid anything that is going to be too hot or make you sweat excessively.

The next thing you need to think about is the cut of the suit. You want something that is going to flatter your figure, and not make you look like you are swimming in the material. A lot of times, chubby men will choose a suit that is too big for them in the hopes that it will make them look thinner. Unfortunately, this often has the opposite effect.

I would also recommend no-lining and no venting, also known as a deconstructed suit. Wearing a deconstructed suit will give your body more room to breathe into the suit, and therefore allow you to be more comfortable and also look slimmer.

Conclusion

While it is definitely true that a baggy, oversized shirt or suit makes you look larger than you actually are, a well-fitting shirt or suit that is slightly bigger than your size can help you look thinner. This is because it will skim your body without being too constricting. A longer shirt that is slightly too big for you is the best option here, with a vertically striped or solid suit, in a darker hue. In this way, a chubbier guy can start to look skinnier.
