Look More Muscular INSTANTLY 7 Style Tips To Make Yourself Look Bigger
[0:00:00] I get it.
You don’t have the perfect body type.
Maybe you’re a bit thin, maybe you’re a bit heavy and you want to look more muscular.
Well, as the trolls here on YouTube are going to tell you, the best route to that is what
you already know; eat right, lift weights and that is going to pack on the mass.
However, how can you improve your image right now?
Well, did you know that the right clothing choices can make you look bigger and stronger?
In today’s video, I’m going to share with you seven tips on how to look more muscular
using the right clothing.
[Music] Tip number one.
Nail the fit.
I’ve said it before, gents, fit is king when it comes to clothing.
If you’re thin, you don’t want to wear skin-tight clothing.
It’s only going to make you look thinner.
On the flipside, you don’t want to wear clothing that’s too baggy.
You’re going to end up looking like a kid wearing his older brother’s clothing.
You want your clothing to drape cleanly on the body.
Take your clothing to a tailor to get it adjusted even if it’s casual clothing like button-down
shirts or jeans.
Tip number two.
Wear long sleeves.
To look more muscular, you want to gravitate towards long sleeve shirts.
Wearing short sleeve shirts can actually over emphasize how thin or flabby your arms actually
are especially when the color of the shirt contrasts sharply against the color of your
skin.
And because long sleeve shirts cut down on the color contrast, this helps to create the
illusion of more muscular arms.
But, what if it’s hot outside?
In that case, just roll up the shirt sleeves.
Now, don’t roll up past the elbow, go with two rolls.
That’s going to take you to about the mid of the forearm and overall this look is going
to make your arms look more muscular.
It’s a much stronger look than that same man trying to pull off a short sleeve shirt.
All right, gents, before we go to our next point, I want to warn you there may be a mistake
you’re making right now which is going to sabotage your efforts to dress more muscular.
That one mistake is wearing loud oversized accessories.
I get it.
You want to receive compliments, you want to standout from the crowd, but loud oversized
accessories work against you.
So, what do I suggest?
Go with something simple, timeless, elegant.
Maybe something unique though, something that’s going to melt together different materials
that is a conversation starter.
This watch right here, notice proportionally it works with my wrist.
Also, it has wood and it melts steel together, a very unique watch made by Original Grain,

Tip number three.
Build up the shoulders and chest.
Now, there are quite a few ways to do this with your clothing.
The first is to wear a casual button-down that has pockets on the chest or epaulettes
on the shoulders.
The extra fabric here, it’s going to add visible bulk to your frame.
These types of shirts though are casual, so what are your other options?
Suit jackets, blazer jackets, sports jackets.
All of these have padding that’s going to bulk up your upper body.
A well-tailored jacket will add mass to your shoulders and chest while slimming up your
torso creating a great looking masculine silhouette.
Even casual jackets like a leather or denim jacket will help your upper body look stronger
by boosting your chest and shoulders.
Tip number four to dress more muscular.
Layer your clothing.
This technique is highly effective because it can bulk up and adds depth to the middle
and upper torso area.
So, start your layering by wearing a well-fitted undershirt.
Now, add your second layer perhaps a long sleeve t-shirt like a Henley, a button-down,
or a dress shirt.
For the third layer weather permitting, you can add a sleek lightweight sweater or a thicker
one that can add bulk.
A thick sweater with a cable knit pattern is a perfect choice to add size to your frame.
But, if you wanted to go with something more lightweight, you can actually work this in
with the sports jackets that we just talked about.
Make sure that you’ve nailed the fit with every item.
One odd fitting item that’s too large can throw the whole thing off.
An important note for the large man, yes, you can use layering to look more muscular,
but what’s key for you is to use lighter weight thin fabrics.
Tip number five to dress more muscular.
Use heavier weight fabrics and weaves.
Materials like tweed, flannel, corduroy, and heavy denim are going to be thicker and have
a textured look.
This textured look increases their perceived size and weight, while not increasing the
size of the silhouette.
The end product is a sleek, but heavier look one that just feels deeper and more masculine.
[0:05:02] Tip number six to dress more muscular.
The use of lines.
Now, heavy men need to be careful of this, but understand that you can use horizontal
stripes and lines to boost your perceived size.
This works really well for thin men.
Ideally, you want this near the chest and the shoulders to help build up their overall
appearance.
Certain sweater styles with horizontal stripes on the upper torso can really help with this
look.
Check patterns are also great for adding a bit of bulk to an outfit especially in a casual
shirt or a casual jacket.
Tip number seven to look more muscular.
Wear a collared shirt.
Collars are an easy way to increase the perceived size of your neck or to hide your double chin.
Well, gents, there’s a range of different menswear items out there that have collars.
We’re talking polo shirts, dress shirts, collared sweaters, turtle necks, and the list
goes on.
All right, gents, now it’s your turn.
