Every man is unique with their own unique build - big and tall men are our specialty. Shopping for suits can feel frustrating when the stores don't seem to carry anything that fits you the way you want it to. Stop settling for suits that don't fit quite right, despite their hefty price tags. Learn the tips and tricks all big and tall shoppers should follow when purchasing their suits.
Find a Suit that Really Fits
Most men accidentally purchase a suit that is one or two sizes too small or large. Test the comfort of your suit by moving around in it. Sit down in the suit and make sure the crotch and jacket don't bunch up. Reach your arms up and around to ensure the sleeves aren't too short or restricting.
When chosen correctly, a suit can be a power outfit. However, if a suit doesn't fit quite right, it can leave the wearer looking and feeling uncomfortable. Never settle for a fit that's "close enough".
Big Men Should Choose Suit Colours Carefully
Bold colours and prints can attract attention to an area. For example, a bright tie can draw attention to the stomach area. For men that consider themselves to be on the "big" side, it's generally best to wear dark or neutral colours.Purchase premium suitsin blues, blacks and greys. An added benefit is that darker colours can be quite slimming and flattering.
Vests Are the Big Man's Secret Weapon
Men's vestscan be a fun way to add layers and a new look to a suit. Additionally, men's vests are very flattering for anyone who wants to hide their stomach. When choosing a vest, ensure it's appropriately tapered at the sides. Take the outfit one step further by adding some unique details, such as a watch on a chain in the pocket.
Tall Men Should Embrace Horizontal Stripes

The bold print serves to be memorable and unique, and horizontal stripes can balance out the extreme height of the wearer.
