 | Rule Number One: dress who you are and not who you would like to be. It's what you wear and how you wear it that counts. |
| Most larger men try to hide their size by slouching and sucking in their stomachs. This has the opposite effect. Rule Number Two: Walk Tall, head back, keep the chin (or chins) up and keep your back straight. Be proud of who and what you are. |
| The most important way to look good is to choose clothes that are the correct size. We may be on a diet now, but 95% of dieters put the weight back on and yo-yo dieting is bad for us. Rule Number 3: buy clothes that fit, no matter what the label says. Clothes that are too tight make you look bigger! |
| Rule Number 4: if you want to wear elasticated trousers, then wear those where the elastication is hidden by a belt. Fully elasticated trousers are fine for Rugby pants and Joggers. |
| Rule Number 5: avoid trousers that fit under the stomach. This makes the stomach look much larger than it actually is. |
| Rule Number 6: shirts that hang outside the trousers look bad on big men whatever the shirt, tuck it in your trousers! |
| V-necked sweaters do nothing for the larger man, especially heavy knitwear. Rule Number 7: if you want to wear a 'woolly', then wear a funnel-necked zipped front or even a button cardigan. |
| Rule Number 8: avoid double-breasted jackets or suits, especially those with a large lapel. Go for jackets with a strong shoulder line and longer length. A safari jacket style is ideal as the numerous pockets lead the eye away from the girth. |
| Rule Number 9: big men look great in a bomber style or blouson jacket. They cover many lumps and bumps and the shape is ideal for the bigger man. |
| Finally, Rule Number 10: we have dignity, attractiveness and strength. Dress properly and these assets will shine through. |
