As a result your self-esteem will boost dramatically as well as your motivation to try new fashions and styles.

As there’s no reason to put off looking good until you reach your goal weight, I’ve put together several fashion tips to help you flatter your shape right now and create a slimmer-looking physique.

Fashion tips for fat guys!

Stand up straight

This is very easy and doesn’t cost you anything. Work on your posture. When you stand up straight you look like you have just dropped 10 to 15 pounds. Besides, this makes people look and THINK more confident.

Make sure your clothes fit you well

Clothes should fit perfectly. Garments should skim over your body and smooth out its surface.

Stay away from too tight clothes as they will reveal all the lumps and bumps you’d rather hide from other people’s eyes.

And too loose clothes are not for you either, since they will make you look larger than you actually are.

Avoid tops with sloped shoulders

Never try tops with naturally sloped shoulders because these tend to draw the eye down to your midsection.

Instead, look for tops which have slightly squared shoulders as they will focus others’ attention on your body to your chest and face.

Steer clear of bold patterns

No loud or bold patterns can be worn if you want to avoid attracting attention to the upper half of your body.

The only pattern possible is vertical lines for they create optical continuity and help elongate the look of your body.

Opt for dark, solid colors as they create a slimmer silhouette and make you seem at least 10 pounds thinner.

Wear V-neck shirts

V-necks are perfect about creating the illusion of a slimmer neckline, especially if you have a double chin, since emphasis is made on your chest area instead of on your neck.

When you select a dress shirt, ones with very pointed collars will be the best since they focus attention on your face.

Wear three-button blazers

Three-button blazers will work for you making your appearance longer and leaner.

Always remember to leave the top button of your blazer undone as it will prevent your clothes from pulling, particularly in the middle area.

Stay away from bulky blazers

Of course chunky wool sweaters are a big no-no for you as they will add too much additional weight to your look.

To keep warm in winter, try cashmere that provides enough warmth without adding bulk to your figure. For suits, choose softer wools so that the fabric is as thin as possible.

Wear pants with a longer hem

Wear your pants as long as possible to seem taller and thinner. They should hit almost at the ground to be able to lengthen your body.

And the last but not the least (and it is hardly about fashion at all!) – love yourself.

If you love yourself you always feel confident and you look good no matter what you are actually wearing. But if you feel insecure and think your weight makes you look ugly no garments or tips can help you to change the situation.
