What type of things am I talking about? Well, overweight or pudgy guys should avoid wearing stripes, except for vertical pinstripes, which can actually help you look thinner. Men packing a few extra pounds should also try to wear dark colors when possible as this makes your waistline look smaller. And if you happen to more closely resemble a basketball player than a sumo wrestler, you should avoid tight clothing, as this will only make you look lankier.
