As a rule of thumb, Dapperfied.com suggests, “If you have a large wrist, you are going to need a large watch to match it. There is no way to get around that.” For plus-size men out there, this is a valuable tip considering a beautiful watch can really complete their entire package. Speaking of overall looks, it’s still also vital to understand some basic fashion tips for big guys. At the end of the day, looking good may not be as simple as just wearing a large-faced watch – dressing up according to your size does wonders for your self-esteem and helps you achieve a debonair persona.

First things first, it’s imperative to fully grasp the definition of big and tall men’s clothing. Fashion brand, King Size Direct, describes these as “comfortable fitting clothes in men’s extended sizes L to 6XL, and pants sizes 44 to 66.” So if you’re a big guy, knowing where to get suitable clothes becomes the least of your worries. However, in terms of ‘which ones to choose’ and ‘what complements what,’ here are a few tips to consider to ensure you’ll pull off that stylish plus-size charm:

What to do with Formal Clothes

Developing a decent closet full of clothes is your primary objective. If you want formal shirts or suits that really fit you like a glove, then having a gifted tailor is your best option. Yes, it may cost a little extra but remember: it’s all about quality, not quantity when it comes to formal wear.

…With Casual Wear

Singer/songwriter, Trey Campbell, says he loves “to pair longer t-shirts with more fitted jackets, blazers, or button-down shirts, as well as slim-fit jeans, joggers, or pants.” This highlights Campbell’s knowledge of playing with body proportions and accomplishing a stylish look. You can also go with bold prints for the best and easiest way to mix up your style from head to toe. Just make sure to balance these loud colours with a couple of basic and neutral articles.

…With Accessories

To cap off a fashionable, plus-size look, you have to learn how to accessorize well, as this is an excellent way to “unite” your outfit. In addition, wearing a neat wide-brimmed hat, an elegant large-faced watch, or both, distracts other people from areas you may not be as proud of. To put it simply, accessories not only complete your total look, but also put an iconic stamp on your personality.
