Basic outfits for fat guy

Yello, 6'0 280lbs, I am fat as hell and wear 2xl or 3xl. Yes I know I need to lose weight. In the mean time I need outfits and I have absolutely no style. Looking for casual clothes I can wear to the bar / out socializing / dates / etc. The one in the photo is basically the only thing better than a T-shirt i wear. Any advice??

Pic reference for my body type. I typically also wear Nike AF1s for shoes

SoulOP•8/11/23, 4:38 AM

Budget = nothing crazy, like to keep it under 60 per item

DRESSING FOR LARGER MALE FIGURES

Want to do a quick thread on how to dress if you're a larger guy. There's not a lot of info or inspiration online about this, and I feel this leads people to think that they don't have options or can't dress well bc of their body type.

this being said, I don't believe that your body type has to limit your personal style. Tons of great outfits in the #waywt, with a great deal of different styles represented. If you find a style you like, I'd advise you not to write it off just because the person you see wearing it has a different body type to you.

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:04 AM

tbh thats what ive been doing, figured most things that look good on slim guys will def not look good on me so i just ignore it haha

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:08 AM

I think this one looks good but i doubt i could pull it off

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:08 AM

i usually wear like simple and dark colors

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:08 AM

dont own any white pants or a brown jacket

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:09 AM

solid!

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:09 AM

white pants are scary at first haha

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:10 AM

here's a cheap option if you wanted to give them a go - can do white or cream (I'm partial to cream, just think it's much more versatile) https://www.dickies.com/painter-pants/relaxed-fit-painters-pants/1953NT+++30+30.html?cm_mmc=google-_-PLA-_-men-pants-painters-_-1953&{unescapedurl}?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=&utm_adgroupid=148329585323&merchantid=7378933&productid={productid}&creative=657285248852&device=c&placement=&locphy=9031026&adpos=&cm_mmc=Google-_-20080101025-_-148329585323-_-&gclid=Cj0KCQjwldKmBhCCARIsAP-0rfzhv_zr_OpF-A1T5yrho1OZXq7hJqg19n7cd5bFDP3VFAs_P0f4tTEaAniJEALw_wcB

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:11 AM

so cream would be a better choice in most situations ?

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:11 AM

it's personal preference, but for me yes

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:12 AM

is the only way to find out to just buy em both and see what happens

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:13 AM

definitely an option. whenever I have pure white pants they just look so bright to me, the cream is a lot more muted which I think lends itself better to more looks

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:13 AM

oh word that makes sense

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:13 AM

i like to wear white tho for some reason it always looks good on me

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:13 AM

but thanks ill look at getting these

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:14 AM

for sure

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:14 AM

if you prefer the white and think it'll work best then I'd say get white. At the end of the day we're talking about your style

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:14 AM

i dont got style lmao

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:14 AM

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:15 AM

it makes sense to try em out

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:15 AM

my wardrobe is just t shirts and jeans man

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:16 AM

gotta start somewhere

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:16 AM

oh yeah another question

SSoul my wardrobe is just t shirts and jeans man 😂

pacific_north_dressed•8/11/23, 5:17 AM

Throw in the right shoes and a t-shirt with jeans is a solid fit

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:18 AM

yeah Will Halbert is great inspo for simpler outfits: https://www.instagram.com/willhalbert/

i did buy this jacket at burlington i liked but i also dont know how to style it, any recs? or did i waste my money

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:18 AM

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:23 AM

I mean I've seen worse jackets haha. I don't love it but I don't think it's impossible to style either. Wearing it over a collared shirt is a good instinct

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:23 AM

would go better with lighter pants as right now everything is kinda blending together color-wise

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:24 AM

danggg i wasted my money

SoulOP•8/11/23, 5:24 AM

but yeh ill try em with khaki pants or som

SSoul danggg i wasted my money

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:24 AM

nah I don't think so! I think khaki pants would work great

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:25 AM

trust me dude you're doing a lot better than you think

artvandelayimporting•8/11/23, 5:25 AM

I'd also leave it unbuttoned weather permitting

pacific_north_dressed•8/11/23, 5:29 AM

^this. Definitely team jacket open

pacific_north_dressed•8/11/23, 5:30 AM

I think that the thread linked above from Derek Guy has some great inspiration for bigger guys. I’m generally on the larger scale for an off the rack clothing myself, so dressing can be hard at times, but something helpful is good inspiration

pacific_north_dressed•8/11/23, 5:30 AM

One person in particular worth checking out is Ethan Newton. He is a bigger guy, but arguably one of the best dressed dudes around: https://instagram.com/ethandesu?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

if you're into this type of jacket I'd recommend this: https://www.levi.com/US/en_US/clothing/men/outerwear/trucker-jacket/p/723340130 a little over budget but you can probably find them cheaper on like Macy's or Amazon. Even second hand if you're not opposed to that
