#bigandtall #clothingfortallmen #notsponsored
Many men who fall into the big and tall category often find shopping an event that they usually want to avoid. It's our hope to help alleviate some of this frustration by giving you some great ways to help navigate your style. Now, have you ever noticed that when shopping, it's pretty difficult, sometimes, to find a really good assortment of things in your size if you are in the big and tall category? For example, say a 38 size waist pant or larger, even if this brand does make that size available, there usually won't be much physical inventory readily available for you to purchase that day.
Shirts:
One main area you're going to want to focus on with your shirt is the shoulders. You want the shoulder seams to fall naturally just off of the edge of your natural shoulders. Now, if the shoulder seams are falling too wide and sit too long off of your shoulders, the entire shirt starts to look a little bit too blousey.
The next big area we're going to pay attention to is sleeve length. Now, whether you're shopping for a casual shirt or even a dress shirt, the same rule applies. Now, it's best to have your sleeve length fall about a half inch below the break in the wrist. Now, by doing this, this ensures that when wearing a blazer or even a sweater, you're going to have about a quarter of an inch to maybe even 3/4 of an inch of your shirt cuff exposed.
Now, the next big area we're going to pay attention to on the shirt is the chest. Now, if you happen to be someone who is a more flat or narrow chested individual, you might find it's a little bit easier to shop for different shirt options than a more muscular individual. However, there are times where it might be equally as frustrating for someone who is of a narrow chest to find an appropriately fitting shirt, as well. The number one to fix a shirt that might look too loose, the best thing you can do is ensure that you're in the right size and that you're in the correct fit.
The next area we're going to talk about is the shirt length. The average shirt length of your button-down dress shirt is going to fall just at the base of your backside. This is because the designer usually will account for the fact that you're probably going to be tucking your shirt in and to prevent it from being untucked to give a little extra length. Next area we're going to talk about is the shirt width. Now, this is something that you usually won't be able to select too much off the rack outside of the usual classic slim or athletic shirt width options. Now, if you're a gentleman whose waistline extend significantly beyond your shoulder width, custom or made-to-measure shirts might be an option you would like to consider.
Jackets:
It's important to know your best jacket size and the exact fit you should be in. One area we want to pay attention to on the jacket is the shoulders. You want to make sure that the shoulders are actually falling gracefully off of your own natural shoulders. We want to avoid extremely tight jackets which are giving a lot of weird tension around the shoulder area. You'll notice this is happening if you see your shoulder almost fully protruding out of the shoulder seam itself. Now, at the same time, we also want to make sure that we're avoiding overly wide shoulders in the jacket.
Trousers:
We want to make sure that you're in the correct size of trouser. The ideal fitting waist of a trouser will allow you to be able to stick about two fingers into your waistband comfortably. This will ensure that when you put your belt on, there's not so much fabric that it starts to almost have that trash bag effect but at the same time, it's not so tight that you feel uncomfortable sitting down or having your lunch.
The good news is there are a plethora of great options to find to be able to have jackets, trousers, and shirts made that are much more cost-effective. Now, perhaps if you're finding that going custom is a little bit too expensive, there is one area in between off the rack and custom that you can utilize, it's called made to measure. Now, made-to-measure is a great option to utilize if you've got the time. It is template-based, a little bit more cost-effective than going full custom and you can choose different options to personalize the garment for yourself.
