THE MOST STYLISH FAT GUYS OF ALL TIME.



Most people think fat guys and fashion have nothing more in common than the letters "f" and "a." For too long, best-dressed lists have been cluttered with stick-thin men who look like their idea of indulging is a juice cleanse and a rice cake rather than a burger and a milkshake. Nah, fuck that.

Big dudes have a hard enough time finding clothes that fit without having to get things custom, and many attempt to hide their weight through even baggier clothes. This list is praising the guys who embrace their size and wear it proudly underneath garments that fit great and look awesome—redefining what it means to "push weight." We're tipping our hat to the historical heavy-hitters whose style takes the cake—and who would probably eat that cake, too. These are the 50 Most Stylish Fat Guys of All Time.

50. Fats NavarroOccupation: Musician
Approximate Weight: 200+ lbs.

Although his time on the planet was brief, the trumpeter made a profound impact on the jazz world. As such, he was regularly decked out in some pretty great suits and tucked in shirts. Yes, it was the '40s and just the norm, but you can't say he would look out of place in the context of today's stylish guys either. Whether tooting his horn in untucked button down shirts or looser, double-breasted suits, Fats Navarro certainly looked good doing his thing




49. Fat JoeOccupation: Rapper
Approximate Weight: 460 lbs. (at fattest)
The diehard Knicks fan has shed a few pounds for sure, bringing a literal sense to his song "Drop A Body," but while his poundage may have lessened, his style sure hasn't. Street to his core, you'll often find him rocking an array of straight-billed caps, and he's been spotted rocking sunglasses indoors on numerous occasions. You also can't touch his array of iced-out accessories. From big-faced watches to the ill "Terror Squad" chain, Fat Joe stays shining.



48. Jermaine "Huggy" HopkinsOccupation: Actor
Approximate Weight: 300+ lbs.

Hopkins had a role in Lean On Me, but his claim to fame wash his role as "Steel" in Juice. He was just so damn fresh with that flat top and even made overalls look good. This scene of him dancing in a mirror just contains so much swag and awesomeness—easily cementing his spot on this list.
These are just a few that have made the list of the well dressed fat guys as they are called.
