We are in 2020 and we still need to hear outdated ideas, such as “fat man cannot wear X, thin person cannot wear Y” and, seriously, this is not true. You can wear whatever you want, and, in fact, to be well dressed you need to be wearing what you want to wear, after all: confidence conveys personality and harmony. You can't look well dressed if you're wearing an outfit that doesn't make you happy and doesn't make you confident.
However, some clothes can help you improve and balance your body proportions. Thin men, for example, tend to be uncomfortable when they look even thinner than they really are and, if this is your case, we have selected some combinations of clothes for you to learn how to dress in the best way to enhance your body. See:
PLAY WITH COLORS AND OVERLAYS

Jackets and coats with thicker fabrics can help you increase your torso - visually speaking. Jackets with thicker sleeves and two fabrics, as in the case of the left denim jacket, with sweatshirt sleeves, can convey the illusion that your arms are bigger.
In the case of combining the direct, the recommendation is to opt for more open tones in the jacket and leave the tones more closed for the shirt. If you want to use a printed shirt, choose smaller and not so wide prints, so that you transmit a broader back image.
OPT FOR SHIRTS WITH THE DEFINED CENTER LINE

Shirts with the center line - specifically the button region - highlighted can help you make the impression of that your trunk is bigger. As the focus of the gaze will be directed to that line, people will not have much idea of where your torso ends and, therefore, you will look wider.
When choosing the pants, be careful with the cut: the skinny model is cool, but if you use a lot of overlap at the top, opt for slim pants. Lighter washing will also help to make your legs look thicker.
OVERLAYS AND PRINT MIX

Overlay is always a good option to make your body look bigger. In the case of the left, a gray T-shirt is under a leather jacket in a more open tone. The sweatshirt collar gives the illusion that underneath, instead of the shirt, the model is wearing a sweatshirt coat: this is a great tip for working on the illusion of overlapping on not so cold days.
In the model on the right, you can see that you can wear plain shorts without giving the impression that your legs are too thin. Choose a knee-length model - or just above it - and escape from tight-fitting shorts.
The horizontal stripes also help you to appear wider, and the jacket on top increases the volume of the torso.
OVERLAY AND WEIGHT

On colder days, you can work the overlay in a heavier way: the jacket from the left, for example, is a model that is in fashion and also helps you look stronger. Underneath, the model wore a sweater with three different colors in a geometric print, this also helped it look bigger.
In the model on the right, the overlay game plays with lighter colors on the top and darker on the bottom - a great tip to increase the trunk. The white jacket causes the illusion of a broad torso because we cannot see where the shoulders end, and the denim shirt underneath the jacket was designed to work on the centerline strategy that we have already taught.

BUTTONS, POCKETS AND OPTICAL ILLUSION

The strategy of the model on the left was very clear: overlap to enlarge the trunk and use of buttons to reinforce this illusion of amplitude. The open denim shirt under the brown jacket (also open) enlarged the model's chest because it was combined with the plain white shirt.
In the model on the right, the jacket with pockets practically all over the front conveys the image of a man with a larger torso.
BERMUDA: PRINT, FABRIC AND LENGTH

A printed shorts can make you appear to have thicker legs. However, be careful: it should always be at the knee or a little above, and never be too wide, after all, if you wear shorts too wide to look bigger, the result will be the opposite: your slender legs will stand out inside her.
You can also choose a thicker fabric, such as a sweatshirt, to cause the same illusion. But be careful: the model on the right used a sweatshirt that fits below the knee, however, the ideal is only to do this if the shorts do not seem to taper.
MODERN OVERLAY: CARE FOR FABRICS

Lighter trousers, in beige or mustard tones, are modern and go well with men of various ages . However, when it comes to combining, run away from similar colors at the top and opt for more striking colors or more loaded looks if you want to look bigger.
You also need to pay attention to the fabrics when making the overlay! They need to talk to each other and they can't be too different. For example, if the shirt you are going to wear on top is too thin, opt for a thinner fabric shirt underneath. If the sweater is thicker, choose a thicker shirt to put underneath.
CAN BOOK HORIZONTAL STRIPE?

Many people say that the horizontal stripe can make a thin man look even thinner - which is true. But you can use horizontal stripes, just know how: the tip is to opt for thin and very tight stripes. That way, you don't draw the actual shape of your torso.
Another tip that we need to reinforce is the strategy of the central line. The model on the right, for example, wears a shirt with two lines marked in the center of the body. This trick causes the focus to move towards the center of the trunk, not the extremities, which is great for causing an illusion of amplitude.
BLOUSES TIED TO THE WAIST AND HEAVY JACKETS

Tying a blouse around your waist is a good tip to make your hips look bigger. You can do this with a plaid shirt, but don't risk the same with a dress shirt, for example, because the result will be disastrous.
Another interesting tip when combining your clothes with a coat is to use a heavy coat, like the puffer jacket model used in the image on the right. Underneath the jacket, however, run away from very open colors so as not to cause a visual mess - after all, the jacket is already well loaded, and opt for striped shirts.
SMALL TRICKS

You can use optical illusion tricks to look bigger. In addition to the tricks we've talked about in the topics above, you can use the strategy of wearing a printed shirt under a doudoune vest - which in itself will already enlarge your silhouette.
Finally, you can choose jackets that have a thicker fabric and prints, such as matelasse, for example, even if discreet, to increase your torso.
