Bigger size, greater fashionHeavier people always want to look thinner and tend to wear loose fitting clothes to cover up their excess baggage.
Baggy clothes add mass to their body . Tight fitting clothes, on the other hand, aren't recommended either because they highlight body's pronounced curves and attract unwanted attention to larger body parts.
•When choosing a blazer, larger men should avoid double-breasted blazers because these will make the upper body look even plumper.•They should instead opt for a nicely fitted single-breasted blazer, preferably one that can be buttoned all the way up. The higher buttons help divert people's attention from the area between your waist and chest. Pinstripes and other vertically striped patterns and V-necks also help give your body a more elongated look

Shoes are another item of apparel that may be difficult to find a fit for. Men especially, who have very large feet, can find it challenging to find a good fitting, comfortable shoe or boot. Sizes over a twelve are generally difficult to come by unless they are shopped for at a king size for men store either locally or on the internet.
Materials and colour choices have vastly improved over the past few decades in plus size clothes.
Subtle colours and form-fitting 'slinky' dresses make a fashion statement that shows off a woman's assets, while camouflaging her less desirable frailties. Overall, fashion has finally found it niche when it comes to those who are comfortable with their size.
Fashion designers are starting to look more closely at the earning potential from plus-size clothing, and have used plus-size models for their advertising campaigns and catwalks.Jean-Paul Gaultier and John Galliano both used plus-size models[1] in their
Spring 2006 showings in Paris. Italian plus-size fashion house Elena Mirò now regularly stages biannual prêt-à-porter shows during Fashion Week in Milan.

held on September 19, 2009 in association with the British Fashion Council.
