my best style suggestion is to lose weight. Help with the depression, help with the style, help with general fitness, get you out of the house....etc.
And, in case there was any doubt as to my suggestion for a method toward doing this...take up boxing son.

100% true.
Simply dressing better would be just a superficial fix. IMO, you will just be a well-dressed fat guy. Losing weight will do infinately more to improve your looks and self-esteem than dressing better.

My advice would be to find clothes that fit right. A specialty store like Hyroop's would probably be able to help you. If you have the money, good custom clothes would go a long way.

Putting a bandaid over a broken leg IMO. Working out will release endorphins, might help with his depression and give him a sense of accomplishment.

Lose weight, obviously.
But if that's not an option, dress like a lumberjack (real lumberjack, not $400 Japanese flannel lumberjack, those brands won't fit you anyway) or other outdoorsy type. Grow a beard. You're just going to look silly trying to be a fashionista.
