If You Are
Big and Tall, Wear Shorts Every Chance You Get
Many larger guys shy away from
them, but during the summer, big and tall shorts can be your best bet if you
want to be stylish and cool during the summer months – or even in the spring
and fall when the weather permits. If you think about it, there are many months
when you can wear shorts. Think about it, even in cool weather, shorts are much
more comfortable than long pants – especially if you have a larger physique.

Why You
Don’t Wear Shorts More Often
Many larger guys don’t like
their legs, and the way regular shorts fit them makes their legs look even
worse. Regular sized shorts are either too short, too tight, or too billowy to
look good on larger guys, so they just don’t wear them. This is because it’s
one thing for people to stare at you if you are overweight, but being
overweight and being looked at because you are wearing ill-fitting shorts can
be too much too bear. However, big and tall shorts are cut right in the waist
and length so that they look good on big and tall guys.
Let’s look at the waist first.
The waist on big and tall shorts is obviously going to be bigger, but it will
also have some elastic in the waist so that the fit is more comfortable. This
isn’t elastic so that is noticeable, because that would not be a good thing.
This elastic is usually in a tab which is hidden in the waist band so that you
can’t see it. You can also put a belt over the waistband so that you really,
really can’t see the elastic - if that is something that you are worried about.
The waist will also be proportional
with the size of the crotch. With regular sized shorts, what you will notice is
that as the waist goes higher, the crotch will get unusually large as well,
creating a billowing effect. This is because no one adjusts the pattern to have
a regular sized crotch with a larger waist. Big and tall shorts keep the
proportions the same, so you will get a fit that is flattering and also feels
right.
The length in big and tall
shorts will be adjusted as well to fit the big and tall guy. You know that if you
are bigger or taller (not necessarily both) you will not want to wear shorts
that only come halfway down your thighs. The right place for shorts to end is
either at the top of your knee or just below it. Then you can comfortably wear
your shorts. One good thing that has changed about designers recently that you
may have noticed is that they are making regular sized shorts longer and
roomier. Take advantage of this trend while it lasts and buy as many shorts as
you can.
Also, don’t be afraid to take a
pair of big and tall pants that you like and have them tailored to be a pair of
shorts. If you mark the length you want them to be and take them to a dry
cleaners, they will only charge you a few dollars to cut and hem them. Then you
will have a pair of big and tall shorts that fit perfect and you can wear any
time the weather permits.
You can also wear athletic big
and tall shorts out to shop or anywhere that is more casual as long as you wear
a big and tall t-shirt with them. Just don’t mix elastic waist basketball
shorts with a dress shirt, and you will look fine in a lot more places than you
might think.
