To want DH to wear clothes that fit!?

DH has put on a fair amount of weight and obviously whilst he should lose it, he hasn't and is still trying to squeeze himself into the old clothes. This looks awful and whilst I'm trying to get him into bigger clothes that actually fit him-he says they are too long and flappy.

I can understand what he's saying, but I feel that it's horrible for me (and everyone else) to have to be exposed to a gruesome sight of arse every time he bends over and of stomach apron when he lifts his arms up. He just says that he needs to lose weight not new clothes and whilst this is true-as he's not currently doing anything to help lose weight does he have to look so awful in the meantime (and it can't be comfortable?)! I haven't said any of this by the way-am just thinking it!!

I appreciate that he doesn't want to accept he needs a bigger size, but he does!

Also-what might suit a chap who is 5 foot 9 with a very large stomach, short legs and about 16 stone sad

I know I sound like a right bitch but can anyone offer any advice?

Yes Compos advice is great....my DH is short of leg but not overweight and he finds that TKMax is very good for short leg jeans....they do have lots of sizes....

Thank you, thank you for all the advice-it's brilliant! I don't mind spending more money on clothes, but it's just finding the right ones!!

He doesn't like t-shirts/jumpers that are too fine/thin as they cling to his stomach, yet if they are too chunky-he says it makes him look wider!!

A pleasure.

I have no idea how or why I know all this stuff.

Perhaps I subliminally absorbed it from 'What not to wear' during the early 2000s.
