It is no ordinary wedding season in Dubai. It means preparing yourself to get dressed not only for an occasion but also for hot weather, for taking pictures that will be remembered forever, and, most importantly, for people who will see you there and notice how you look.
Being a large man, it means not only fitting a suit but also wearing one that looks great. Here are ten suits to consider.
Classic Navy Three-Piece Suit
One such color is Navy. It takes pictures well, is perceived as being formal but not stiff, and can be worn to both daytime and nighttime weddings. The three-piece suit, in particular, gives structure.
The waistcoat brings together the ensemble at the waist, resulting in a silhouette that cannot be obtained with a two-piece. This is especially important for fat guys since the eye will trace the lines of the suit. Make sure that the waistcoat sits flat and that the jacket is not pulling across the shoulders.
Black Tuxedo
The best choice of formal wear when you have an evening wedding is the black tuxedo. The reason behind this is the way a tuxedo is designed to add length to your silhouette, and on a more substantial build, this would work in your favour.
What you need is a white dress shirt, a black bow tie, and black trousers that are without a crease at the ankles. What is important about a tuxedo for larger guys is getting the right fit around the torso.
Charcoal Grey Suit
Charcoal is the color that lies somewhere between black and greyish-black, and it is one of the most underrated suit colors for formal occasions. It is dark enough to be considered formal and conservative yet not as bold as black.
In the case of tall men, dark colors tend to look good in pictures taken at weddings without making you look like you are going to a funeral. A single-breasted charcoal suit made from thicker material will retain its form all evening.
Double-Breasted Suit
Double breasted suits are generally known to be difficult to wear for people with larger body types, although this may not always be true.
A double breasted suit that fits correctly can actually help in making you look taller by creating vertical lines that complement your larger body type.
Navy blue and grey colors are recommended in this case. The suit should fit correctly without any tension at all.
Slim-Fit Single-Breasted Suit
A slim fit does not imply a tight fit. With larger men, slim-fit suits will provide the advantage of looking smart without any surplus fabric on the arm area and seat when they are worn in the correct size.
The slim-fit suit will ensure that there is only one button that will make sure that the front line is not interrupted in any way. Slim-fit suits in light wool blends in Dubai during the hotter months mean that you do not carry additional pounds in the suit itself.
Linen Suit
Linen is really the best choice for an outdoor wedding or a daytime reception in Dubai. Linen is the fabric that "breathes." It is true that linen wrinkles, but if you have a casual garden wedding or a wedding on the beach, then that is what will make your outfit fit right in.
You must go for a light shade of beige, stone, or even light blue to keep yourself looking cool and appropriate.
Velvet Dinner Jacket with Black Trousers
This option applies to weddings that take place during winters or inside a building whose temperature can be regulated. A dark burgundy, forest green, or dark blue velvet dinner jacket along with flat-front black pants will create an attractive outfit that is not going with the flow.
Velvet will give weight to the attire for bigger guys without making it voluminous. Stick to a plain shirt, and do not use a pocket square or any other accessory.
Tailored Blazer with Dress Pants
Not every wedding calls for a full suit. It is not always required that one wears a suit on their wedding day. One can go for a stylish blazer that can be worn along with the dress pants. Such an outfit would add to your style and would be relatively less formal than wearing a suit.
However, if one is a large man, then the blazer should fit properly around his shoulders and shouldn’t strain around the chest region. The trousers should be neat and tight-fitting around the thighs.
White Dinner Jacket with Black Trousers
This is an essential part of Dubai weddings, and there’s a reason why. The white jacket and black pants look great in photos; they have an element of formality to them and are ideal for evening weddings in hot weather. They are smart and not bulky.
If you’re a larger person, it’s important that the jacket is tailored at the shoulders, and the lapels aren’t disproportionate to your body size. You don’t want very thin lapels on a big body type.
Navy Tuxedo
Navy formal wear has an advantage since it occupies a neutral space in between the black formality and the normal suit formality.
This is especially because in Dubai where weddings tend to draw crowds from different parts of the world, including those who may have different styles of dressing; Navy formal wear can work for both the western and South Asian weddings.
It gives a balanced appearance especially on those with a larger build, wearing satin lapels and matching trousers.
Conclusion
It doesn’t matter what type of suit you select as long as it fits correctly. Any suit included in the list will do the job for you if it’s the right fit for your body shape.
It doesn’t matter how great the suit is designed if it looks like it's pulling, gathering in the wrong places, and leaving gaping at the button holes.
If you’re going to spend extra money on one look for the season, then get a suit tailored.
