Shopping Tips for Big and Tall Mens Clothing
It used
to be that there was a stigma attached to big and tall mens clothing. Clothing
for larger men was called plus sized clothing or husky sizes, and even came in
XXXXL sizes. This made any guy who wore a larger size feel like some kind of
loser or a freak of nature.
Now
that the typical American male is getting larger, the politically correct label
of big and tall mens clothing has been adopted and guys are coming out of the
woodwork to buy clothes that fit them. U.S. retailers are paying attention and
making everything in sizes that now fit larger guys correctly and are also
fashion forward. This means that whether you go out to work or out on the town,
you can look sharp and feel good about yourself and what you are wearing.
That
being said, here are some shopping tips for buying mens clothing in larger
sizes:
Tip #1: Don’t give up easily.
American guys don’t really like to shop for clothes anyway, so be prepared that
it will be more of a challenge to find big and tall mens clothing if you have a
poor attitude towards shopping. Even though American designers and
manufacturers are much more open to making big and tall mens clothing than they
used to be, you will still have to be patient in order to find something in
your size that also looks good as well. So don’t be surprised if you have to go
to several different places to find what you are looking for.
Tip# 2: Shop on the Internet. The best
place to find larger mens clothing is on the Internet. Just type the search
term ‘big and tall mens clothing’ into your browser and you will find many
stores that carry larger fit clothing as well as many stores that cater to
large mens sizes. You can shop privately and order 24 hours a day. One of the
better stores that exclusively sells big and tall mens clothing online is jeansxlusa.com. Here you will
find a variety of well-made clothes designed to fit the larger American male.
Tip#3: If you find the perfect
shirt, jacket or pants, buy them immediately, even if they cost a little bit
more. Remember, something may cost a little more, but that is because it is
made better and cut specifically to fit a larger male. Think about your
favorite jacket or pair of pant that you have now. Do you wish that you had
about ten more of them? If you are a big and tall guy, when you find the right
article of clothing, you will probably wear it until it falls apart. So you
don’t want to fool around with the price until something goes on sale. Someone
else will have already bought it and it will be gone. Sometimes manufacturers
make specialty items like big and tall mens clothing in small batches and then
never make them again.
Tip #4: Try it on before you buy.
Guys never want to try on clothes. However, when you are shopping for big and
tall mens clothing you need to try things on before you buy them. There is
nothing like buying something at the store you didn’t want to go to in the
first place and then going home - only to find that you have to take something
back to get a different size. Save yourself the trouble and try it on in the
first place. If you are shopping on the Internet, just make sure that you
measure yourself accurately and then order from online stores that have chest
and height measurements. Keep in mind that these days, even if you have to
return something, it may be cheaper for shipping than it is for gas.
