  • Joshua had given up on finding a suit jacket that fit his body. We helped him out. If a jacket fits right it should turn all your round lines into sharp angular ones.

    "We wanted to celebrate his shape" i teared up a little because the whole world keeps talking about celebrating the woman's body but men is kind of left aside. If you are a round man, know that you are valide. You look like a giant cuddly bear? Adorable. You look like a dangerous mountain ready to destroy everything in front of you? Fierce. Be you. Do you. Love yourself men ♡

      On 1 hand, ur right to an extent if someone is classified as overweight.
      On the other hand, if someone is not overweight but a little bit round, then you are so wrong.
      Also this original comment about celebrating his shape made me feel happy as well.

      @@1bennyburgess that's the thing tho, not everyone wants to be shredded. Plus the funniest dudes I've ever met where mostly chubby/fat. I'd say just do you, if you want to be fat then go on, they know the consequences on their own health. If you wanna be skinny then do it, if you wanna be ripped then that's fantastic. I really don't want to see evey single guy with the same body type, that would be boring.

    I love how a well fitting suit makes the manly shapes pop!! As soon as u get the fitting suit your body shape be different. You get sort of a thin waist and then your vreast and shoulder are gers bigger and makes u look more fit and strong. So no matter if u very very thin or if u very very big the fitting suit makes u perfect

    I hope no one ever feels that big/worthless/drab to settle on wearing JUST a gray on gray suit... this is crap. As someone that sells big and tall suits My #1 tip would be: DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE BOLD. There’s nothing wrong with color, even if it’s a light blue button down, with a charcoal gray suit and maybe a colorful, printed tie to match. Believe me, it’s not as taboo as this video portrays lol

      Find a local tailor, or someone who you know does solid alterations (test them first) and ask where they recommend, or what their style can make the most out of. You can push your budget really well consulting with someone like that as you shop sales.

      @UncleRuckusEnjoyer 6 років тому +1

      Black suit! I think black color is fine. But every fat guy or woman (I did the same) puts too much black on himself/herself to hide his body. But thats the worst you can do, instead of it. Try to find the colors that match you and believe me you are going to look a lot skinnier and alongside that you will feel comfortable. :D In my opinion sometimes its a lot easier to dress like a true man when you are fat beacuse the suits and almost everything is going to look a lot better on you than on the skinny guys.

    • @gandaruvu
      @gandaruvu 4 роки тому

      Even if you're not chubby, you should never wear black suit, unless it's for formal event or funeral. It's too muted. Dark grey or navy are safe colour choices if you're getting your first suit.
