Men who are big and tall, more so than the average man, often find it difficult to purchase clothes that fit properly and look good on them. Yet, it is not impossible to achieve a stylish look for them, a look that complements their bodys size and shape. Let us consider some ideas that should allow big and tall men to look good, feel confident, and to make their very own style statement.
1.The Ideal Colors and Designs
Bold patterns and prints on bright colors usually serve to attract attention to the bodys curves and rolls, thus making big and tall men seem larger than they are. Therefore, you should try and stick to the plainer, darker, muted, and more sophisticated colors, such as black, grey, navy, brown, and beige.
2.The Vertical Stripes
Common fashion sense dictates that shirts, sweaters, and jackets with horizontal stripes make people look broader than they really are, while vertical stripes make them seem taller and slimmer. Therefore, it makes sense for big and tall men to opt for vertical stripes, as they can provide a stylish look that serves to make them seem slimmer. However, the same effect cannot be gained through wide vertical stripes, so you should choose clothes with stripes that are not too broad.
3.The Style and the Body Type
Whenever possible, layer your clothes, as that can help disguise the more obvious of the bodys bulges and curves. However, the weather doesnt always allow layering, so you should ensure that your wardrobe is stocked with big and tall apparel in the latest styles and fashion trends. You do not want to have to remove your outerwear when its too hot, and feel awkward or embarrassed by outdated fashion.
4.The Right Big and Tall Fit
Since it is difficult to find suitable big and tall clothes, it becomes essential that the ones you do purchase are neither too tight, nor too short, but are a perfect fit for your body. Ill-fitting clothes will not help you come across as either professional, or stylish, or even comfortable. You might even leave people with an impression that youre careless, disorganized, untidy, or even unclean.
5.Well Dressed in Jeans and Pants
Shorts, trousers, and sweatpants are simply too casual and unprofessional for most occasions. If you wish to look good and well dressed, opt to purchase big and tall denim jeans or cotton pants – and again, make sure that they fit both your girth and length properly. Jeans and pants can help you project a stylish look, and theyre never out of vogue.

A big and tall structure does not mean that you have to make compromises with your attire. You just need to find the right brand for you, keep certain considerations in mind, and you can easily look as stylish and appropriate as you wish to be, regardless of the occasion.

Who needs color?

I’ve been talking a lot recently about how color is one of the big trends right now in mens fashion. Well, it’s not just me – everyone has been talking about colour. -Crayon bright- color is what I heard someone describe it as recently, which is cool way of describing exactly how vivid and eye-catching the use of color is on the runways and catwalks of the world as well as in our favorite high street stores. This season is all about colour. But then there’s white. It’s a bit of an interesting dichotomy and I’m not going to pretend to really understand it, but at a time when we’re seeing a lot of colour and contrast in mens fashion, we’re also seeing a lot of designers devote their collections on outfits that are just monochrome visions of white. This is not just a summer separates thing, this is white upon white in different textures and fabrics. White as the opposite of all things colour. What confuses me a little bit is that sometimes we are getting it in the same collection – a string of crayon bright colour vibrancy and then boom, this is how we do it in white. In this article we take a look at how you can make bold statements in white.

Getting spiritual?

V magazine (which I love) recently ran an editorial looking at the white trend in mens fashion and concluded that it reflected a nod to -spiritualisation- in menswear. I’m not totally sure that I get the soulful feel from an all white ensemble, but check out this amazing jacket from Air that was featured in the shoot by Ben Lamberty and modeled by German model Bastian Thiery who is featuring in a lot of editorial work at the moment.

Snow leopard camouflage

I really love Ksenia Shnaider’s white on white camouflage effect used in the FW14 collection. This is a label from the Ukrainian husband and wife team of Ksenia Marchenko and Anton Schnaider – she’s a fashion designer and he is a graphic designer. Their current collection is kind of a blend of military uniforms, sportswear, camouflage, and white. All bang-on trend right now. Genius.

White can be wrong

An all white outfit can be a bit of a challenge to wear – any time that I’ve attempted it I seem to spill coffee or red wine, sit somewhere without first checking that it’s spotlessly clean, or order spaghetti bolognese. Apart from those practicalities, there is also the risk that you look like you have just escaped from some sort of psychiatric facility or a science fiction movie from the 1970s. All of these problems seem to have been embraced by new label MER (a collaboration from Federico Frotto Scuttie (an Italian from Uruguay) and Attila Lajos (from Hungary) – their connection is that they both studied in Vienna. Their SS15 collection is beautifully conceptual and features a lot of white on white, but somehow it screams science-fiction psycho more than street-smart swagger.

Celebrity Styling

You don’t have to look too far beyond the gossip magazines to see a lot of our favourite male celebrities effortlessly rocking the all white look. From Soulja Boy to Kanye – everybody is doing it.

Embrace your summer style god and step out set to dazzle in an all white ensemble. Just don’t order the spaghetti bolognese.

A good leather jacket can be your best fashion friend. Not only will quality leather last for years, but it will also turn out to be one of the most flexible items in your wardrobe. Dont be scared of slipping into a tailored leather jacket and experimenting with your look. Womens leather jackets come a in variety of cuts, including biker and boyfriend styles, but for a leather jacket youll be able to wear to a whole variety of places, a tailored one is your best bet.

Team your leather jacket with a flowery, flowing dress for that boho chic look beloved of stars like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. This works so well because the structure and heaviness of the jacket contrasts alluringly with the light, floaty fabric of the dress.

Wear your hair tousled and free and pick some sassy boots for your feet and you have the perfect mixture of sassy and sweet. On warmer days, you can even make this look work with sandals, but only if you keep your legs bare and accessorise with a pair of statement sunglasses.

A tailored leather jacket is also a great choice for women who work in busy offices as it can be beautifully coordinated with a skirt or trouser suit. For this look, think of high heeled boots and hair swept back off your face but avoid wearing too much jewellery as the look is already very powerful.

When a chilled out jeans and t-shirt day rolls around you can throw your leather jacket over whatever youre wearing. It will look especially lovely if youre wearing three-quarter length jeans and a pair of ballet flats as you channel old Hollywood glamour. On the other hand, baggy jeans and a vintage band tee is a great way to let your hair down.

For a more daring but equally casual look, swap your jeans out for a pair of leggings and wear an oversized belt loosely around your hips. For your top half, either a tee or a tunic top will look great and a pair of Converse or some demure heels will set the outfit off nicely.

If you want to give your leather jacket a more casual feel, just push the sleeves up to your elbows and leave the zip or buttons undone. This looks even better if youre wearing a large necklace or flowing neck scarf and gives you a great touch of seemingly effortless glamour. For the opposite effect, cinch longer tailored jackets at the waist using a belt and youll have a more professional edge instantly.

When it comes to accessorising a leather jacket, there are few feistier choices than a pair of bright red lips, a wrist full of jangling bangles or a nice long pendant. The only thing to avoid is very small or fussy jewellery as it can look a little swamped and fiddly when youre rocking a tailored jacket.

There are so many ways to wear womens tailored jackets and also leather bomber jackets youll quickly find they will become one of your favourite fashion staples. Its a good thing leather is so hard wearing, you might find you hardly ever want to take it off.
