Shopping for big and tall clothes can be a nightmare, almost as hard as dressing the big or tall body. For some tips and tricks on where to wear the right clothes for your body type, whether it's big, tall or both, keep reading.
Skip the Too-Big and Baggy Look
Mens Big And Tall Stores
When you wear clothes that are too big for your body, it only serves to emphasize your shape. Meanwhile, all that extra fabric will only drape and flap, which is never flattering (curtains anyone?). Instead, opt for clothing that actually fits you.
Carhartt quality and comfort work together in Carhartt's relaxed-fit jean.

Understandably, if you're tall and thin, it can be hard to find clothing that's long enough without being too baggy. For slim-fitting clothing that's designed for a taller man, try shopping at stores that carry tall brands.
Don't Wear it Too Tight
Unfortunately, too tight is just as bad, if not worse, as too baggy. On the tall man, clothing that is too snug will make his height and slim frame more pronounced. On the big and tall man, the very same type of clothing will accentuate all the features that he wants to downplay. Instead, choose clothes that fit.
Opt for Horizontal Lines or Plaids
Vertical lines only work to accentuate your height, making you appear longer and taller. Instead, opt for horizontal lines or small plaids. If you're a big man and looking for big and tall clothes that will downplay your girth, choose small patterns or plain, dark colors.
Check the Rise of Your Pants
Unless you're buying your pants in a specialty height store, you should always be buying high-rise pants. Big and tall men often have problems with the crotch of their pants being too short or too small. Avoid all that uncomfortable bunching and twisting by buying pants with a higher rise that fits you through the crotch.
Double Check the Break of Your Pants
Ever try on a pair of standard pants only to find they look like Capris on you? Avoid that problem by opting for a longer inseam and shopping at stores that carry apparel for big and tall men. Ideally, you want the bottom of your pant to fall gracefully on to your shoe when you're standing.
Choose a Flat-Fronted Pant
Pleated trousers do two things for big and tall men. First, for larger men, the pleats accentuate every negative feature. For tall men, the pleats actually make you appear longer and therefore taller. So, instead go for flat-fronted pants or trousers as part of your critical big and tall clothes wardrobe.
