How to Dress to Look Slimmer? Tips for Plus Size Men

Jak się ubierać, żeby wyglądać szczuplej? Porady dla mężczyzn plus size

Plus-size men sometimes struggle to put together a wardrobe that will help them look their best. Combining individual pieces into a cohesive look is also a challenge. Do style and color also affect the perception of a plus-size figure? We have some tips for plus-size men on how to dress to look slimmer.

Choose your plus size clothing sizes wisely

Some men who wear plus-size clothing may sometimes be tempted to buy something that's either too small or too baggy. The effect is always the opposite of what's expected. Overly tight garments accentuate every fold in the stomach or hips, making the figure appear larger than it actually is. On the other hand, oversized sweatshirts or XXL shirts visually add weight because the fabric drapes unfavorably and distorts body proportions . It's worth choosing regular-fit men's shirts in plus sizes, which don't hug the stomach but allow for a defined shoulder line and balance the figure. When choosing trousers, the correct leg length is particularly important. Too short will shorten the legs and make the figure appear wider, while too long will create gathers in the material, visually adding volume. The ideal plus-size trousers are those that rest lightly on the shoe.

Avoid exposing your belly in plus size styles

We also have a few tips for men who want to visually reduce their belly. And this is a significant issue, as this area is the most visible. So what can you do to conceal it? First and foremost, don't draw attention to it. To achieve this effect, you can wear unbuttoned sweatshirts or plus-size men's shirts , which create a vertical line that slims the silhouette. Clothes that reach halfway down the fly work better than shorts that end at the waist, as they don't expose the stomach with every movement. Plus-size men's trousers with a mid-rise provide good support for the stomach, making the overall look proportionate. It's also worth ensuring that your tops are dark, without prints.

Black is not the only clothing color for big men

Black visually slims the figure, but plus-size men can also choose other colors. Plus-size men's clothing also looks good in navy , graphite gray, or bottle green. A navy shirt paired with dark XXL trousers elongates the silhouette and looks elegant. A graphite blazer paired with an oversized white shirt and black chinos creates a neat look.

Plus-size T-shirts in darker shades of red are perfect for everyday wear, as they add energy to the look without adding bulk. A burgundy sweater paired with navy blue jeans visually slims the upper body. In summer, a good choice is an olive green men's shirt in a large size worn with beige chinos – the lighter bottom balances the proportions and draws attention away from the midriff. On colder days, a dark green coat paired with straight trousers and brown shoes is perfect.

Highlight your assets with clothes for plus size men

Plus-size men can look very masculine if they show off their strengths. Broad shoulders are a plus, giving the figure a V-shape that evokes strength and confidence. A jacket with a defined shoulder line can enhance this effect. A long neck makes the upper body appear lighter , so it looks good with plus-size men's shirts worn with the collar open or with V-neck sweaters, which elongate the torso. A strong face is another asset, drawing attention and distracting from figure flaws. Therefore, it's best to accentuate it with solid men's XXL T-shirts in dark colors that complement the eye color and complexion. Being tall can also be beneficial, visually elongating the figure. Long coats or unbuttoned jackets create vertical lines that enhance the impression of a more proportionate silhouette.

Choose accessories wisely for plus size clothes

Properly selected accessories can enhance the slimming effect. A wide belt helps define the line of men's plus-size trousers, preventing the shirt from slipping down. Our woven men's belt is worth considering; it's available in sizes 42 to 56 , and its stretchability ensures comfort. A cotton men's undershirt can also complement plus-size clothing. We offer styles up to 8XL. How does this garment contribute to a slimmer figure? It smooths the silhouette and ensures the shirt sits evenly instead of clinging to the stomach.

If you're looking for plus-size men's clothing, pay attention to colors, fabric types, and sizing. Wondering whether to buy an XXL shirt one size larger? We strongly advise against it! Remember, too, that every body has its unique features – find them and showcase them. For high-quality plus-size shirts and pants, visit our store.
