Learning to dress flatteringly is a huge step forward for most big guys. Learn what jeans fit your big thighs, how to hide your moobs, etc.
Did you know that the reason many big guys look fat and sloppy is simply that they mess up their belt game? Poor waistlines with rumpled up pants, untucked shirts, and (heaven help me) a giant plumber’s crack are almost always the fault of a poorly chosen belt. As a big guy you are probably … Read more
If shoes make the man, then I have always struggled to find my manhood. When I do happen to find a pair of dress shoes that fit I wear them until they literally fall off my feet, or the soles are so full of holes I might as well be wearing sandals or going barefoot. … Read more
So you’ve finally found yourself a pair of shoes that fit…at least mostly. Or maybe they just look awesome. Either way, after wearing them for a day, your feet are screaming in protest. They aren’t supportive, they have an odd shape, they have no cushion…the list of what can be wrong with a shoe is … Read more
If being known as “Michelin Man” isn’t enough to make you stop wearing your down puffer jacket, I don’t know what would be. It was enough for me. As a big guy, I’ve always had to be concerned about how I dress. An outfit that is fine on a skinny dude with small feet makes … Read more
As a big guy it seems that I have two choices when it comes to backpacks. I can have a little tiny bag that sits at the top of my back, holds nothing, and makes me look like a dork, or I can have a massive bag that gets the classic, “going camping?” jokes. I’m … Read more
I never wanted to be the “guy in flip flops.” Maybe it’s just where I live but dudes who wear flip flops around town are considered weirdos (probably because we usually have a couple of feet of snow). Whatever the reason, this has left me unprepared every time I take a trip to the beach … Read more
Nearly all of my local stores have shirts for big guys….as long as “big guys” wear a 3xl or smaller. At one time in my life (high school…) a 3XL was enough but, since then, I’ve had to scramble for shirts (and other clothing) that not only fits but makes me look like something other … Read more
First off, let me say something about my language in this article. I wantonly use words such as moobs and man-boobs (but not man-titties). This is no accident. I chose to use these words specifically in an attempt to rob these words of the power that they have which is often used to bully and … Read more
When I first started getting into lifting weights, dirty-bulking was all the rage. I packed on the weight and, within 2 years, hit 255lbs. (side note: don’t dirty-bulk) At this same time, I was also going through a skinny jeans phase and used to split the crotch out of my jeans within a few months … Read more
When I was younger, I always hated going to amusement parks or play areas where I had to take my shoes off. I wore fat -kid -shoes and I had funny looking toes. Not a good combination. Now, I’m still overweight, I still have funny toes, but I’m not longer ashamed when people see me … Read more
