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.
As a fat guy, buying clothes is often difficult for me. It’s hard to find stuff that fits and makes me look good (or at least makes me feel good). I always have to go look in the “big and tall” section and hope I can find something that fits me reasonably well. Sometimes, though, …
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 …
When I first met my wife I was wearing skinny jeans and a denim jacket. Of course, that was more than 100 pounds ago. But then, like most guys, I continued dressing the exact same way for the next decade. I had always been on the receiving end of snide remarks about my skinny jeans …
Pretty much any magazine or fashion blogger now is full of tips for plus-size girls. Not to mention the huge influx of designers catering to larger bodies. But what about us big guys? Well, we’re left out in the cold. Fat guys are just fat so there’s no point in trying to help them, right? …

When I first started getting into lifting weights I didn’t realize that I didn’t need to eat the entire McDonald’s menu to gain “muscle”. Within two years of discovering the high school weight room, I had worked my way up to 265 pounds. Not the best idea. At this same time, I was also going …
There are two distinct types of fat guys, those who wear swim shirts and those who don’t. However, this really only applies to normal fat guys. Really obese guys almost always don a swim shirt when we dare venture to the pool or beach. Let’s just say that it’s been years since I’ve gone swimming …
Unconventional sizes can be confusing for plus-size and curvy individuals because they’re often lumped together. You might erroneously see yourself as plus size if you are simply curvy. But if standard ‘large’ clothes don’t fit you, 1X and XL might both do the job. Is XL the same size as 1X? XL and 1X are …
The past five years have seen a boom in the acceptance of plus-sized men. And thanks to fashion brands catching up, it is now possible for fat guys to look their best. But clothing aside, what haircut should you get? Fat guys should get buzzcuts if they want to be associated with fitness and shave …
