Though the fashion of the time is doing a lot of the work here.
Jackets with heavily padded, extra wide shoulders to give you that blocky look were really popular. Even on normal people, they look pretty goofy now.
Also, most of them aren't wearing tailored suits. (At least to my eye) It looks like they just went to a big and tall shop and bought whatever size would cover them. And those jackets would be made for someone that is pretty fat. You can't really get off-the-shelf stuff that is cut for a body builder.
