"Style for Fat Guys" is a simple, illustrated guide to becoming a well-dressed overweight man. It documents the fundamental factors that make overweight men appear unattractive and teaches the reader how to use clothing to create a strong, masculine figure.

(Author's note: The word "fat" is not used in this book, and is only included in the title because it's the most commonly-used search term by large men wanting to dress better. The book is non-judgemental and gives genuine advice on dressing for this body type. I don't care how much you weigh - I just want you to look good!)

When large men want to learn how to dress well, they often turn to blogs, forums and self-proclaimed "fashion experts" for help, all of whom churn out the same hackneyed advice ("Don't wear horizontal stripes"; "Wear vertical lines"; "Wear dark colours!") while offering little explanation as to why these rules exist.

This book is different. Instead of giving a quick list of DOs and DON'Ts, Style for Fat Guys discusses how to normalise your body's proportions, how clothes are supposed to fit and which styles overweight men can wear to make their bodies look as attractive as possible.
