are also longer. It's all part of the overall plan since a longer vision of T-shirt extends the area it covers upwards or downwards, rather than outwards. Polo shirts are tidy and neat, though avoid all primary colors. Go for subtle shades that go with your trousers. Never clash colors with trousers, as people will get drawn into looking at those clashes and inevitably your belly.

Wear T shirts and shirts not tucked in. Let them drape over the waistband of the trousers, and what you will find is that the shirt actually hides the tummy quite well, though it doesn't stop here. For shirt styles, go for medium cut and not huge. You don't need baggy because it makes you look even bigger, whereas a size that sits nicely against your pants will look better.

ACCESSORIES

Women are particularly good at putting accessories together, though men haven't quite gotten the hang of it. NEVER wear belts, preferring to have elasticated adjustment to trousers, because belts do exactly what your old trousers did and pull you inwards. Instead take attention away from your belly. Cardigans are a great accessory as are very thin sweaters. You can wear a sweater over your shoulders, drawing the attention to the shoulders area. This not only looks stylish, but really does help the eye of the beholder to look at something different than your tummy. Get a new style of haircut and stop looking dowdy. Perhaps a mustache or a beard would help, and here, all the time these natural accessories take attention away from podge.

You may be bigger than you used to be, but you can still look great. By admitting your size problem and changing to clothes that fit, you will be astounded at the results.
