A Guide for Big n’ Tall Men: How to Dress




Shopping for clothes can be tough at the best of times, for anyone - there are so many decisions to make after all. One has to consider the brand, the quality and the price, the fabric, the color, the style and the design, and the durability. It can prove to be a particular nightmare though, for men who are big and tall, as their options are relatively limited.

Fortunately, there are several brands that cater to the big and tall market, such as Tri Mountain apparel, and there are plenty of stores - both brick-and-mortar and online - that offer big and tall Tri Mountain clothing. Yet, finding out where to shop represents only half the solution. Big and tall men also need to dress in a way that suits their particular body type. Read on to find out more!

That Which Is Too Big n’ Baggy

Clothes that are too big and baggy do not flatter anyone, whether big or small, tall or short. All the extra fabric draped around the body only serves to leave you looking like a misshapen mess. Therefore, even though it can be difficult - if you are tall and thin - try to find clothes that actually fit your body. There is a wide selection of Tri Mountain clothing which caters to tall people without the long clothes being baggy as well.

That Which Is Too Tight

However, be careful and avoid the other end of the spectrum as well, as clothes which are too tight can look just as bad as baggy clothes on big and tall men, or they could look even worse. Skin fitting or snug clothes will only serve to further pronounce a tall and slim body, and make it look awkward, while they accentuate the features of a big and tall body that one would normally want to downplay.

That Which is Horizontal or Simply Plain


Clothes with stripes can add further complications to the shopping dilemma of big and tall men. Vertical stripes on clothes make people seem taller, while horizontal ones make them appear broader. Consider your body type, and choose accordingly. If you’re tall and thin, opt for the small plaids or horizontal lines from the range of Tri Mountain clothing for men, and pick the plain, dark colored shirts or those with small patterns if you’re big and tall.

That Which Is About Pants

A common problem for big and tall men when they’re shopping for pants is that they often end up with a pair that looks like Capris. If they are to look good, your pant’s bottoms should ideally fall onto your shoes when standing. Furthermore, you should look for pants with a high rise so that the crotch is not too small or too short. It should help you avoid a lot of uncomfortable, even painful, twisting and bunching up.
