It may be best to talk to your co-worker in private. Start by complimenting him on something that you appreciate about him. For example, you could say "You have a great sense of humor and I really enjoy spending time with you, even if I am not a big fan of your sense of style!" Then explain why his fashion choices are not flattering and don't represent the professional image that the company is looking for. Be kind yet direct by saying something like "It would be beneficial for the team if you dressed in a way that reflects our professional nature". Avoid making accusatory statements or getting into an argument, and instead, focus on the goal of wanting the team to succeed. Finally, if you feel comfortable, give him advice on what type of clothes would be beneficial for him.

You could start by being direct and calling him a fat slob, however, it may be more effective to be more subtle and find constructive ways to offer feedback. You could offer compliments about aspects of his life that are doing well and then share areas that he could improve upon. Try to maintain a balanced approach when discussing his weight with him, and be encouraging and supportive while doing so.
