5 Ways for Men to Dress Slimmer

Larger guys can easily give the impression of being much thinner than they are, simply by wearing certain clothes.

And the Jacamo large mens clothing range has plenty of items to choose from that will result in a genuinely slimming effect.

  Here are 5 tips to help you choose the right Jacamo plus size mens clothing.

1.       Stripes

There is a golden rule with wearing stripes... Horizontal: No. Vertical: Yes.

Vertical stripes will make your silhouette look longer and slimmer.

Horizontal stripes, however, will have the opposite effect and make anyone look larger than they are...

2.       Jackets

A single-breasted jacket will make you look far slimmer than a double-breasted one; this is because people’s eyes will automatically focus on the centre point.

Also, try to avoid jackets or blazers that are double-vented as this will draw unnecessary attention to your bottom!

3.       Sizes

NEVER try and squeeze into a size that is too small!

Wearing clothing that is overly tight will look terrible and you will feel very self-conscious.

4.       Belts

Belts are a very important accessory!

You should always wear one as it will hold your waistline and ensure that your trousers hang correctly!

5.       Colours

Wearing contrasting colours will immediately draw attention to the joins between your clothes, i.e. your stomach... 

Stick to shades that are more similar to one another.

How to Wear Mens Trainers....Properly!

At one time, mens trainers would only be worn in the gym, but not anymore. Everyone is fully aware of how

comfortable this type of footwear is and trainers are now seen wherever we go. But of course, it isn’t just

about comfort... if you are going to wear a pair of trainers, then you will want them to look good as well. Here

are a few bits of advice to help you to get it right and to avoid an unpleasant run-in with the Fashion Police...

Classics are Good!

Classic mens trainers will go with just about any type of clothing, so they are always a very safe choice.



A basic, single-coloured design, such as the Converse lace-up, will look great with oodles of different

garments; right from jeans or Chinos to pressed or tailor-made trousers.



Watch Out For ‘Hybrids’!!!

In sci-fi movies, alien/human hybrids should normally be avoided at all costs. They are ugly, horrid and intent

on taking us all over! Well, it is pretty much the same situation in the world of footwear; except perhaps, that

hybrid trainers are not normally intent on world domination...



Seriously though, clunky genetically modified cross-bred mens trainers really aren’t cool. In fact, they will

often look downright geeky. It is advisable to completely avoid this type of footwear.



‘(Don’t) Sock it to me Baby!’

Visible Socks + Mens Trainers = Uber Bad Move. If you do need to wear socks with your trainers, then invest in a pair of low-cut ones. This will mean that your feet will remain comfortable and sweat-free without causing any insult to the more ‘style conscious’.



After all, some of us have principles...



‘Roll Up! Roll Up!’

If (and only if) you can wear your mens trainers without any offensive socks on show, then you will be able to

take your image a step further (excuse the pun)...



Try donning a pair of cropped trousers (or rolling up the bottoms of your jeans) to draw greater attention to

your trendy pumps! By creating a hem that reveals a small amount of ankle, you will give a tailored silhouette

to your trainers, making them stand out (sorry, another pun) even more!



Shelling Out on the Wrong Clothes...

In the world of stylish footwear, there is only one other crime that is equally heinous to having visible socks...

and this is wearing your mens trainers with a shell-suit. You may find it amusing to think of someone dressed

in this manner, but it really isn’t a laughing matter. Shell-suits were the thing to wear with a pair of trainers at

one time (as unbelievable as this may seem), but thankfully we have now moved on.



If you are ever unfortunate enough to have a brush with anyone wearing this ridiculous type of outfit, then it

can have a genuinely detrimental effect on your day. So always choose your clothes wisely and try to have a

little respect for other people!
