Hints for Wearing Big and Tall Men's Clothing Well

By Abbey Flanagan


It's no longer a chore to try and find well-styled big and tall men's clothing. A sizing category that was once limited to specialty retail shops mainly found in outlet shopping centers and strip malls is now found in just about every clothing retail store in the country. Originally it was given the unflattering name of 'plus size' clothing, but this has since been changed to 'big and tall' to be less judgmental of the growing popularity of this range.

The increasing customer base has led retailers to introduce more options for style, price and choice. It's now easier than ever to find big and tall clothing that it's now a challenge to choose from between such a large range of options. Here are some tips for people who need to wear clothing in this category.

The main thing to keep in mind when choosing big and tall clothing is to avoid horizontal stripes. Horizontal stripes can be effective for people who might be very tall and skinny, but for people with larger frames, perhaps vertical stripes or no stripes at all would be better.

Horizontal stripes create an illusion of making you seem wider than you are. Vertical stripes can lengthen your torso but if you have a bigger belly, they can curve around the sides and give you a look not unlike that of a pregnant woman.

You can also shop for clothing in online stores. Most people like to try on clothes before purchasing, but buying online can still be a good way to buy big and tall men's clothing. You can choose from hundreds of online clothing retail stores that cater specifically to big and tall men's clothing.

Shopping online means you get to avoid crowded stores, tiny dressing rooms and long register lines. Most online retailers are very generous with their return policies, so you're able to return any unsatisfactory items for a refund easily.

Don't forget about thrift stores. You'll find that these stores usually carry big and tall men's sizes. Thrift store prices are always a lot less than full retail shop prices, so that's another benefit to them. If you can find one in an affluent area, or near one, you could find very nice clothes that have barely been used. Another aspect to that is the other items in general will be in a nicer condition. So you see, there's a lot you should think about if you're buying in the big and tall men's size group.

Finding big and tall men's clothing isn't the chore it used to be years ago. And now, big and tall men's clothing a lot of times is what was once considered a normal size. Stores want business, so they're maintaining an inventory of vanity size clothers so people will want to go there and shop. All that means is you really should not have a hard time finding something you like in the size that's right.
