Big and tall men face a certain set of challenges when shopping for clothes. For one thing, it's often hard for them to find larger-sized clothes in nationwide department stores. For another, there are certain "rules" most big men should follow when adding to their wardrobe. Crazy styles seen on celebrities and magazines are usually just that: crazy. They're not made to look good on everyone. Fashion that Makes Sense
Big men should, for the most part, avoid strong bold patterns, as these tend to emphasize weight. The most flattering looks for bigger men are shirts in a single color or very thin stripe. Very tall men should try and stay away from vertical stripes, since these typically tend to draw attention to height. Shirts in general should not be fitted, and allow for a little breathing room. That being said, being big and tall doesn't mean you have to give up style. Certain items are always classic, and can be worn just about anywhere, such as button-down shirts, solid-colored golf shirts and pleated pants. When choosing pants, a general rule of thumb to follow is that you want to be able to fit two fingers inside the belt line--this will allow for comfort while standing as well as sitting. At Shanky's, we've been carrying big men's clothing for over 40 years, and know how to match quality with comfort for men of all sizes. Our special "custom suit selection" allows our customers to match any size of blazer with any size of matching suit pants, and our dress shirts are made for flattering fits that can be worn with anything. If you need advice on what items you should get to supplement your wardrobe, give us a call and we'll be happy to help.
