Plus Size Style Icons For Men

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill is proof that XL dressing should be about embracing fun, not avoiding risk. The actor-slash-streetwear star knows the fits that suit him – boxy tees, cropped jackets, trim tailoring – which lets him load up on everything from logos to tie-dye.

Kanye West

Kanye’s slimmed down since his 2016 liposuction procedure, but his style back then was still built around on-point streetwear, often in head-to-toe monochrome. He’s always been the king of the oversized fit, using boxy tees and drapey jackets to create a strong silhouette.

Adam Richman

The former star of Man v Food became overweight by professional accident, and engineered his wardrobe to work with the bulk that came from eating his bodyweight in steak every day. His trick is tailoring, which covers his love handles and highlights his strong shoulders, giving him a more defined outline.

The Best Menswear Brands For Bigger Guys

Marks & Spencer

There are few wardrobes that haven’t featured a Marks & Spencer suit or shirt at some point, which is a testament to the variety of its fits and cuts. It might not be the most cutting edge brand, but M&S will always be a godsend for those basics that fast-fashion brands don’t seem to offer above a 38in waist.

Jacamo

The original plus size store has had a bit of a revamp recently. Its range has been overhauled, now stocking brands like Tommy Hilfiger – as well as its increasingly impressive own-label clothes – in sizes up to 5XL.

Levi’s

The denim gods took a while to get on the plus size train, but it’s made up for lost time with a Big & Tall collection that recuts its iconic style in waist sizes up to 50 inches. As well as the jeans, the collection also includes everything from denim jackets to T-shirts and hoodies.
