When purchasing jeans or pants, you want to make sure you do yourself (and others) a huge courtesy and stay away from pants that sit right at your waist. This will tend to cup your belly and actually pronounce its size. Certainly that is something no one wants, but more importantly it provides you with the confidence that you look good. One less thing to worry about is always good.

Do not buy a pair of pants that sit so low on you that when you sit down you expose your "crackside". Remember, your a bro not a plumber. The answer to this is to wear a pant style that is slightly low rise. Also, boot-cut style may help reduce your bellies appearance. This style of jean offers the illusion that your stomach is actually smaller because of the natural flare by the ankles.

Avoid jackets that sit right at your waist. This is putting a target on your belly because eyes tend to focus on where the jacket ends. Wearing longer fitting jackets that possess some flare will likely cause eyes to focus on your style rather than your shape. This will offer your waist and belly area a cinched look.
