A tailor is your friend! That's first. I can't tell you how many things fit funny as my body grew and grew and i really wanted to look like a sharp fat dude. Tailor fixes pants, shirts, coats. I mean it's money but I assume you're talking about a professional situation so 5 or 10 buckaroos for an alteration won't kill ya.
Second - to be comfy, let the belly hang out and put a loose (and tailored) jacket over it. Or just let it be "out there" and others can deal.
Around the waist is ok, but ya kinda look like a barge and it can be distracting or uncomfortable because the pants slip down anyway and you have to keep pulling them up which sux.
Suspenders are a classy way to pull off the "fat man in charge!" thing. AND they hold up the damned pants.
Hope this helps!

Yup, Quite telling that when you see big guys they are really dressed up or seemingly underdressed and that’s because expensive tailoring is the only option in many cases
Absolutely. Knowing how to dress well applies to any fellow whatever size, who aspires to represent and also attract a mate, possibly. I may not be loaded but my clothes are on-point (hopefully - gotta update this spring!)
Thinking of someone saying "Wow, I saw this fat guy today, he was something! The man was stylin', woah."
Obviously not to the supermarket! But about two months ago i put on virtually every garment of clothing I owned, and shot a photo per outfit for the express purpose of seeing what was a keeper, and a tosser. I was shocked at how good some things looked and appalled I would ever leave the house in other things!
Great thread.
