Sunshine bouncing off turquoise waters and luxury oozing into the air, everyone showing up in the best "effortlessly cool" chic outfit. But do you know what the difficult part is?
If you’re a plus-size man, you’d mostly find yourself stuck in the middle between clothes that look good and clothes that feel good whenever you have to sync with the vibes of Dubai, especially when it’s about the yacht parties.
The good news? On a yacht, you can have both if you follow these simple tricks mentioned in this article. You're going to look sharp, stay in comfort, and be able to enjoy the party at the same time.
Whether it is a daytime cruise, a sunset gathering, or a glamorous night yacht bash, here's your ultimate guide for dressing like the confident king that you are.
Linen or Cotton Button-Down Shirts
If Dubai had a fabric soulmate, it would be linen. It is breezy, light, and gives you that luxury coastal vibe in a trice. There are several reasons I recommend linen or cotton to my builder buddies.
Firstly, plus-size men really need to embrace the linen button-down shirt because such fabric shirts are good for air circulation and do not trap heat. Secondly, they fall naturally on the body with no clinging or awkward stretching, and they offer a luxe look and appear to be so without effort.
You must have watched series in which actors usually go for light colors when they host a yacht party. Yes, that’s for a reason. The same goes for you, you must stick to colors that will go with the mood of a yacht: whites, beiges, sky blues, soft greens, pastel tones, or classic stripes.
If you want an additional vibe, leave the shirt slightly unbuttoned if you want that "vacation hero" look. You can also roll up the sleeves, trust me, forearms always win.
Cotton is your reliable best friend if linen isn’t your type of fabric. A crisp cotton button-down keeps things polished and breathable. You can purchase exactly the same vibe kinda thing from Big Boyz Collection. They offer perfect t-shirts for your yacht party vibe, as they are pure cotton, crisp, and sharp shirts with prints and light colors too.
Tailored Shorts
Yacht parties are all about freedom to unwind, to have fun, and to discard those heavy trousers. Tailored shorts for plus-sized men are a godsend because they offer structure and comfort.
You must choose shorts that hit just above your knee, also give a little stretch, but don't flare out too far.
Colors such as navy, Earthy, beige, and stone work wonders. You can also complement those with a linen shirt tucked out, and voilà, you get that striking balance that photographs very well against the ocean backdrop.
Too-large, droopy shorts add extra volume that you don't need.
Linen Trousers
The other good option that works best is linen trousers. For evening yacht parties, especially those replete with Champagne and live DJs, here linen trousers are your best friend.
You guys would love these as they drape smoothly and flatter your lower body. Yes, they're breathable, yet semi-formal in appearance. Also, very good at giving luxurious vibes.
You can opt for straight-cut or slightly tapered trousers. You must try pairing these with a loose linen shirt or high-quality polo. It's all Dubai-luxe in an instant. Earthy tones, white, charcoal, or soft greys fit the bill for nighttime parties.
Breathable Underlayers
The Dubai heat doesn't care about your best-laid plans. On water, humidity can be a silent villain. That, in turn, is what makes breathable underlayers such a game-changer.
Choose moisture-wicking undershirts that absorb sweat and prevent chafing, while keeping your shirt feeling fresher for longer.
The above-mentioned light colors, such as light beige, nude, or white underlayers, so they won't be visible through thin fabrics or an upper shirt.
Trust me, once you get into underlayers that allow breathing, you will never go back.
Smart Footwear
This is not the time for heavy sneakers or sweaty shoes at a yacht party. The feet want ventilation, comfort, and style all in one.
The best option for plus-size men is the slip-on moccasins and white, minimalist sneakers for casual day parties. Sandals or slides are also useful only if the vibe allows.
Unless it's a full beach-style party, try to avoid flip-flops. Just find shoes that go nicely with the outfit and add to your appearance.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses at a yacht party are a personality charmer. These instantly make you look put-together, confident, and slightly mysterious.
Aviators are always classic. Shades with square frames, clubmasters, or polarized lenses for sharper views of the ocean make your first glance sleeker yet Dubai vibe style.
On broader faces, oversized frames do the magic. Just make sure they are not much bigger than they completely overpower your features.
You can use tinted for sunlight, clear or lightly tinted for sunset pictures. You’ll be amazed to see those Insta-worthy pictures.
Accessories for a Luxe Touch
Accessorizing can take your whole yacht look from "nice" to "Dubai luxury." But remember, the goal is to enhance.
Here is what you’ve to do: style yourself comfortably with a stylish watch, whatever color you prefer, silver, gold, or a leather strap, a discreet bracelet, a fashion hat, Panama, and fedoras never lose. And of course, a minimal chain if that suits your style.
Swim Shorts for Day Parties
If the party includes swimming, sun lounging, or water activities, bring swim shorts that make you confident. You can choose mid-length styles that are neither too short nor too long.
Be careful with items and opt for strong elastic waists and drawstrings.
Especially, look for quick-dry fabric. Solid colors work best with tasteful prints. Match these up with a linen shirt left open, and done! You become that enviable laid-back beach guy.
Conclusion
Dressing up for a Dubai yacht party if you are plus-sized is all about rejoicing in your presence with panache, comfort, and confidence. And when airy fabrics, perfect fits, and well-balanced silhouettes are chosen, your outfit becomes outstanding automatically.
Therefore, you must go for breathable fabrics, tailored cuts, intelligent accessories, and shoes that match the vibe. So that you can own each moment, whether a cruise during the day or an evening full of glamour, in style and comfort.
