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.
