Buying a suit for the big and tall man can be quite challenging. Information on what looks good on larger men will not be found in your local GQ magazine. Marketers tend to shy away from creating adds with large men in them and the challenge continues.

This article is designed to arm larger men with all the knowledge they need to buy a suit that fits their build. Upon reading this article you will know about the three major suit types and how to make them work for your build.

Major suit styles include the Italian, British, and American suits. These suits all have different attributes that make them unique. Learn more about each style of suit and how to make it work for you.

Italian style suits are double breasted and vent-less. These types of suits generally have larger lapels and can make a bigger man look even thicker. However, with a few modifications this suit can look really nice on a big man.

The key to making the Italian style suit look great on a larger man is to make it more streamlined. Buy a double breasted suit with smaller lapels and a single vent in the back. This modified version will leave the great concealing quality the double breasted jacket gives and yet will give the wearer more mobility and a more streamlined look up top.

British style suits are three button models with double vents in the back. These suits also have pleats on the pants which draw attention to that area. Lapels are of average size and shoulders are usually thicker than the other models.

This model will hide the stomach better than the American style suit but not as good as the Italian style. Change the shoulders to make your stomach look about 6 inches different than your chest size.

American style suits are two buttoned models with a single vent in the back. These suits have flat front pants and lack cuffs at the bottom.

Buy a model with a higher neckline if possible. This will close the gap that is left by only having one button and hide as much of the stomach as possible.

I hope you enjoyed reading this article as much as I enjoyed writing it. Study the tips you have read and see if you can alter any of the suits in your closet.
