Lean men have all the advice in the world when it comes to buying a suit. The large man however, is not directly marketed too by most suit designers. This is unfortunate as many bigger men would like to learn how to look good in a suit.
Men from all over the "advanced" countries have been gaining weight for decades. This could be due to fast food diets, not enough exercise, and too much rest. We will not go into why people are gaining weight, but we will discover ways we can look good in suits with our extra weight.
OTR, or off the rack suits, will rarely look good on a larger man. There are many different areas to enhance and disguise, and they will not look the same on all big men. This means the larger man will probably need to get a custom made suit to fit his specifications to the letter.
Next, the color. As we all know, black has a slimming effect. Choose black or a very dark gray or blue alternative. Start with this in mind when you go for your first measure.
Consider a pinstripe. A thin pinstripe on a dark blue suit would be a wonderful choice. The stripes will assist with the disguise. Avoid all patterns.
Wear suits of worsted wool or other thin fabrics to reduce the amount of thickness surrounding your already thick body. Heavy fabrics of flannel and plaid will make the wearer look heavier.
Quite important also is the often overlooked fact that you may lose weight. Consider this before you purchase any mens suit, because there could be nothing more pointless than having your suit made to measure, then changing your measurements.
