And if you're new to the gp lifestyle community, be sure to hit that subscribe button turn on that notification bell
So you never miss when we upload a new video. So without further delay. Let's get started now
The first tip is to pick pieces of clothing that build up your chest and shoulders
Our goal here is to make the gut look smaller by making the chest and shoulders look bigger
Now this is that classic v-taper frame that guys go for when they're working out trying to get in shape
which is the best way that you're going to dress with a belly because then you won't have one and
You wouldn't have to worry about it
And then everything looks great in your clothes
But you're still going to need some clothes and some outfits along the way
on your fitness journey
If you're you know into that or you should definitely start but here what we're going to do is we're going to pick
Structured pieces of clothing that build up the chest and shoulders now this can be done through clothing that is meant to primarily be layered
Like jacket, my first pick here is going to be a leather jacket. This is timeless classic
It is always stylish leather is a thicker material
and how a lot of the times they're cut they really focus in on broadening out the chest and shoulder which is
Going to make it appear larger by making the waist appear smaller
Now you can even go something a little bit more trendy a little more in style right like a biker jacket is a great
option but if you have any classic leather jackets
Definitely a good pick second pick is definitely awesome for guys who are a little bit on the bigger side
That is sherpa denim jackets. I'm a big fan of them
I love their faux fur lining and the great heating theater is this is built for bigger men because it is a bigger heavier
Jacket and when you put it on it, really?
Builds up your chest and shoulders and really doesn't draw too much attention in on the waist and it does such a good job
Of doing this because it doesn't look like you're trying to hide anything
You're just pulling off an amazing fit. My next pick for you is going to be overcoat
This is my personal favorite because they're sheer versus silly
You can get a great smart casual look and you can have a nice casual look too now
What I like here is a really the shoulders look like you're wearing shoulder pads when you're really not is just how structured and angular
It's cut around the chest and shoulders and the lapels again. Make the chest look a little bit broader as well
But if where you live is a bit hot right now and coats are definitely not actually definitely go with an open floral shirt
This is great for the summertime is how I like to wear you can wear like a tank top
Underneath and just having it open there really just adds a bit onto the shoulders and you know
It draws the eye a bit towards the midline and up versus focusing in on the gut tip
Number two here is open layers
Our goal here is to draw the attention towards the midline versus the sides a lot of times when you work clothing
That is not really super structured or doesn't have a lot going to it the eye tends to drift everywhere and you know
You get attention in places where you don't want it
but here our goal is to have the attention towards the midline of the outfit like something like i'm wearing right now is through
Light open layers now if it's cold where you live or it's not hot yet like here in canada
Definitely coats and jackets mentioned in the first tip are a great pick
But here you need something that is a light open layer. For example a cardigan
Now what this does is when you wear a light layer that is open
It's basically going to hide any muffin top
Or love handles around this size and it's going to draw the eye towards the middle of the outfit because you have two vertical lines
going
Up and down and this basically creates a more length throughout the torso and it draws the eye towards the center
hence hiding your belly fat and actually having a good fitted look and if you're enjoying the tips so far and getting
Any value out of be sure to drop a like it really helps me out with these videos moving on
Tip number three is to size down your hoodies by one size. Our goal here is to take a piece of unstructured
Baggy clothing and refine it just a smidge now hoodies have always been technically worn in a sort of a lazy bag
carefree scent and a lot of guys when they dress when they have a little bit of a gut
Or a little bit of the heavier side really like to wear it to hide
You know any fat from showing but we can take this a step further and actually give you a fitted look by sizing down
One size if you typically wear for example an extra large hoodie
For you know a just your regular fit a little bit more
You know oversized look how they were sort of meant to be worn
But if you size it down one size
Let's say something like a large
And then take a look and see how it's fitting throughout the chest shoulders and arms if you have a bit more of a snugger
Fit there it is
Still going to be roomy throughout the stomach and the pouch there for your arms is actually going to actually hide
Some of the detailing in the effect because there's another layer layer of fabric there and hoodies
They're they're not going to be meant to be like a tapered dress shirt
We're just working with what it has here. And I think you get a nice good tapered look here
So this is something that's going to go great if you just want to wear
On its own and it's going to have that sort of
Lazy, you know carefree. I didn't really try to look that good today
But you're actually putting in a bit of effort there to strategically look slimmer and good with a sort of carefree style
Tip number four here is to wear flannel because flannels here get every point on the list done with one piece of clothing
They're structured that builds up your chest and shoulders. They can be worn
Open so you can hide some of that muffin top and love handle
Area and they create more length throughout the torso with those vertical black lines
Now I already did a video on
Four different ways that you can wear a flannel which i'll leave linked up into the youtube card
Definitely check it out flannels are definitely a great simple solution
And the fifth and final tip may surprise you because has nothing to do with the upper body actually has to do with your jeans
And the goal here is to make sure that your jeans fit
Correctly a lot of times when guys have a little bit of a belly
They also tend to have a little bit more fat in their
glutes and thighs and when you're trying to put on a good pair of jeans and then they run a little bit snug throughout the
Glutes and throughout the waist you're going to get this flaring of a muffin top going on
Which is not really what you want because then anything you put on it like a t-shirt or or a hoodie
It's actually still going to make it worse because you're still going to have that compression and that flaring out to the side
which is not what we want definitely here go with a
Pair of jeans that has a bit of spandex and it's going to give it a little bit more of a stretch
It's going to be a little bit more forgiving and not as compressed as something as just 100 denim
But if you don't like the spandex ones because they tend to be a little bit lower quality tend to rip a little bit more
Easier definitely go with your regular
Denim now if you regularly wear for example a size 34 and you put it on and you realize it is super tight
Definitely size up one size to a 36 and then for the first few days
you just want to wear the jeans like around the house and just really focus in on breaking them and you're going to have a
Great
Pair of jeans that fit greatly and it's not going to have so much flaring into the waist
