The Clothing “DOs” For Skinny Men:
When you are skinny and like to add a few pounds to your statue than you can accomplish this by choosing particular types of clothes, fabrics and pattern – something much healthier than doing to the next fast food chain. The key to slightly add width to your figure is by choosing particular patterns, fabrics, colors, and styles of clothing.

As far as patterns are concerned, best would be horizontal stripes. But since this pattern is almost never found on dress shirts and suits, wider striping patterns will have a similar effect. An alternative to wide striping patterns are larger checks on dress shirts. Heavier fabrics are best since the extra thickness adds more width to your figure. This might be a little challenging for people that live in warmer climates. For those, lighter colors are best suited. In addition, recommended are natural fabrics that allow to “breathe” and will add additional comfort.

Finally you can use color to add some weight to your figure. It is not the shades that matter here, but more so the contrast between light and dark between colors and different clothing items.
