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 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 bro?” jokes. …
Working with and finding clothes within the realm of larger sizes can easily be one of the more complicated and frustrating things to do. Not only are plus-size clothes difficult to find (for both men and women) but, once you do find them, the sizing is inconsistent and confusing. For example, I always thought 2XL …
If shoes make the man, then I have always struggled to find my manhood. In the past, when I have found a pair of dress shoes that actually 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 …
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, …
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 …
Sports cars have become synonymous with status and speed, and for a good reason. But they are also associated with nominal passenger capacity and little room for the driver. If you’re a big guy who likes high-speed cars or simply wants to own a prestigious vehicle, don’t let this connotation discourage you. While you probably …
Finding a swimsuit as a fat guy really isn’t that hard. Just go to Walmart and buy a 5XL pair of swim trunks. You’ll fit in perfectly with every other fat guy on the beach who buys cheap, ill-fitting, rash-inducing, slow-drying shorts to swim in. A few years ago I decided that that was no …
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 …
Beards have been on-trend ever since superheroes like Aquaman and mythical heroes like King Leonidas started sporting them on-screen. But fat people have been growing beards long before Zack Snyder made beards sexy. In fact, it’s hard to go anywhere these days without seeing a fat guy sporting a beard. Why is it that every …
