A lot of men like clothes but don’t like to shop. <\/span><\/p>\n

The shop dread tends to be more prevalent as men get older, get married, and have children. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the reasons for the dread is the same that women have issues: their body has changed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Right Clothes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No doubt exists that clothing designers use their gift with younger bodies in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

That makes it challenging for middle-aged men with “dad bods” to find pieces they feel make them look good. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet they are there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are three clothing must-haves for fathers who have a little weight around the middle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A suit.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every man needs one suit to wear for more formal events and to take his wife out to dinner when they have a babysitter. <\/span><\/p>\n

For those with a little middle-aged weight, a dark, single-breast suit with classic notch lapels is perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n

Get a plain but crisp dress shirt to go with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The key is to make sure the trousers and sleeves are the right lengths. <\/span><\/p>\n

Investing some money in a good tailor to alter it will make you look like a million bucks even if it’s an inexpensive suit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Get heavier cotton pants for weekend casual.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

They don’t cling and will hold their shape. <\/span><\/p>\n

Add to it with shirt jackets, an open button-down or canvas jacket, and a casual shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. T-shirts are okay, just pick a good one.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dads look great in jeans and a t-shirt. <\/span><\/p>\n

A good choice is a raglan sleeve t-shirt and makes sure the jeans aren’t too tight and fit properly around the middle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Getting clothes that look good on you and fit will make a man of any age and body look good. <\/span><\/p>\n

You don’t have to lose weight or get in shape first before treating yourself to a new style. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your whole family will like your new look too!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
