If you are like actor and comedian Horatio Sanz, you have probably spent your entire life trying to avoid wearing suits. At 5’9” and 250 pounds, it can be difficult to find a suit that fits well. In an interview with GQ magazine Sanz admits, “The last suit I bought from a store was for my junior prom.” However, at Menswear eCollection, we believe that you don’t have to be the size of a male model to look good in our men's suits. With a little confidence and the following style tips provided by GQ magazine, any large man can look great wearing a designer suit.

The key to looking good is to avoid styles that make you appear larger than you are and opt for cuts and accessories that appear to slim you down. For example, a large man should avoid wearing a roomy suit. Instead of making you look slimmer, roomy suits including mens blazers looks sloppy. Likewise, resist the temptation to go untucked. Always tuck in your shirt for a clean and formal look. To take the attention away from your belly and to your chest, GQ recommends wearing a pocket square. Another trick to make you look slimmer is to keep your jacket buttoned at all times, unless of course you’re sitting down.

When it comes to choosing a shirt, stick to simple, elegant shirts. Avoid loud and obnoxious colors and designs including plaids and checks. Also, stay away from horizontal lines, which will make you look wider. A pinstripe suit is ideal because the vertical lines will make you appear to be thinner. Although you’re a large man, it is possible to wear flat-front pants. Without pleats, these pants are comfortable and stylish. In order to avoid looking larger than you are, stay away from thin ties and lapels. If you have to choose between suspenders and a belt, GQ recommends wearing suspenders. Finally, choose shoes that have a substantial sole. Shoes that are solid will anchor your weight better.
