Clothes for Tall People

Clothing can be used to accentuate the positives of being tall, but a number of key guidelines must be adhered to. The importance of picking the right type and style of clothing is far more critical for tall men and tall women than it is for the shorter counterparts, who not only have a larger selection of clothing to chose from, but also have more styles that suit their physique.

The number one problem that tall people encounter when buying clothes is that High Street stores and mainstream manufacturers target their clothing ranges at he biggest market segment, which happens to be people of average heights. Thankfully their are many retail stores, both High Street and online, that specialize in clothing for tall people.

Using these stores ensures that tall people have a big selection of clothing that is appropriate for them, as opposed to wasting time browsing through rails of items only to find that the item you like most only comes in sizes small and medium.

Now that we've resolved problem one for the tall shopper, on to problem number two - what styles of clothing suits the tall person and what styles of clothing should they avoid? The answer here is far more difficult as it varies from individual to individual. The many factors affecting styles for the taller person include age, gender, culture, body shape and skin tone. However some rules govern some common characteristics such as avoiding vertical stripes if you feel you are tall and thin as this only magnifies height.

Most tall clothing shops will offer expert advice of selecting clothing suitable for tall people. Even though you think you may be outside the norm, these shop sales people have seen it all before and will have suggestions that should suit your taller build. Even the online tall clothing retail outlets offer guidelines as to what styling suits what body shapes. Many include standard advice based on chart sizes, but the better ones will provide an interactive personal advice service such as an email Q&A service.

Big Tall Men Clothing

There are many people who believe that simply because they are looking for big and tall men's clothing, they do not have many options. This is a wrong kind of thinking because you will find plenty of styles and designs when it comes to this kind of clothing. The good news is that you do not have to go out and buy the clothes that you need as the internet stores have plenty of clothes for you to choose from. On the other hand, you should make sure that you buy the right size clothes because exchanging them, can turn out to be expensive as you will have to pay for the shipping costs. Generally, the store selling the clothes will mention the measurements of all the various sizes so that you can take your pick accordingly.

There are certain things that you will have to keep in mind at the time of buying big and tall men's clothing and these points are as follows:

• The fit of the clothes is of utmost important. When you are buying the clothes for big and tall men, it is important for you to make sure that you buy the right fit. The clothes should not be too tight and neither should they be too loose. I don't know why but many men feel that they can hide their figure when they wear big and loose clothes but me when I say that loose clothes will not make you look good. Opt for clothes that can offer you a good fit.

• Does the internet store have an exchange policy? Read the exchange policy of the store and see whether you agree with it.

• Make sure you read the description of the product carefully. Do not buy a shirt simply because it looks good in the picture. You have to see the description to see what fabric that it has been made up of. This way, you will not end up buying clothes that made from poor quality fabrics.

Many people like to buy big and tall men's clothing online because shopping online is convenient and it is also comparatively cheaper than shopping in the retail stores.

Evaluating Dress Shirts

1.      Stitching - Single needle stitching – costly way of sewing, results in consistent, straight seams

2.      Buttons Mother of Pearl Buttons - Although there’s no real significant difference, some fashion connoisseurs actually prefer cross-stitched buttons

3.      Long Tails – long enough to come together between the legs

4.      Collar – evenly stitches along the edges

5.      Fit – made to measure – sufficient “blousiness” in the sleeve. Where it joins the cuff, fabric should be gathered into pleats, not tapered.

6.      Split-shoulder yoke – a vertical seam down the yoke on the back of the shirt

7.      Placket – a count of 14 stitches per inch on the shirt’s packet – the strip of fabric on which the buttons are sewn – indicates quality. Fewer than 11 stitches per inch signals lesser quality.

8.      High Quality Fabric – the higher the thread count, the better the quality…

Getting the Perfect Dress Shirt Fit

 

1. Collar is always fixed in position.

 

2. Buttons don't create fabric creases or lumps.

 

3. When tucked, the shirt shouldn't show any bulges.

 

4. Your shirt should fit flatteringly on the torso section. 

 

5. A snug fit at the back means the seams of the shirt fall exactly at the end of the shoulders. Bigger and bulkier men might want to have box pleats at the back of their shirt for more comfort and allowance.  Skinnier men might not opt for that and instead have contoured lines down to the waist section.

 

6. Choose a shirt that fits you well while sitting down. 

 

7.  The size of the collar should be big enough to fit a couple of fingers between neck and collar when it's buttoned.

 

8.  To get the right sleeve length, the tip of the cuffs should fall 1 inch below the main joint of your thumb.

 

9. The tails of a shirt should be long enough to lie on your rear while seated.

Dress Shirt Collars for Different Face Shapes

Dress Shirt Collars

There are about 12 collar types for men’s dress shirts.

Dress shirt collars should be considered an extension of a man’s face. It should be treated as a shirt feature that could help improve the facial features. 

Long pointed collars like this 2-button Italian style collar can help create an illusion of length and could suit a man with a rounded face.

Conversely, short collars like this cut away styled collar creates an illusion of width and might very well suit a man with a narrow or rather long face.

Men with oval-shaped, regularly-sized faces may choose any type of collar they want.
