20 fashion and style trends for big and tall guys right now

While there are obvious advantages for being tall, it can be quite a challenge for men of bigger stature to dress in a well-fitting and elegant way. For a tall man, it can actually be a challenge to dress well. Off-the-rack apparels are typically designed for men who are less than 6 feet in height. Those who are over 6 feet tend to have their wrists showing from the cuffs and their ankles showing.

For tall men, the point of dressing well is to look elegant and proportional. Here are the 20 coolest outfit ideas for big and tall men.

1. Use layers

These can add dimension and depth. When you add layers, it can be ideal for your build. Opt for sweaters and odd vests beneath jackets, when the season lets you. Add a double-breasted jacket or a matching waistcoat with suits. When you use various layers, it can be easier for you to maintain a wardrobe that is smaller and is much more versatile.

2. Opt for the odd combination

The odd combination is perfect for a tall man, opting for pants and a jacket that are not composed of the same kind of material. It lets you shop for separate clothing pieces and obtain greater wear from the suits that you have already. It can make your navy suit and gray suit 4 apparels rather than only two.

3. Opt for belts over braces

For slim and tall men, belts are the best accessories. These can give you a clean linen across your body, and manage to break your look up. Braces run parallel to the body, and add to the impression of height. These can make you look bulkier as well, and draw the eyes to your midsection. Based on the setting, opt for brighter or contrasting colors.

4. Wear bolder shoes

Look for bolder shoes which come with excellent color and textures that can draw attention way from your height. You can opt for shoes of any style or color, but stay away from loud shoes which can make you look like a buffoon.

5. Opt for alterations

If you find a great piece of clothing that matches your style and personality, but is off by a few inches, you can buy it and take it to an alterations tailor.

6. Try Bespoke clothing

You can, at times, find the right fit in clothes which can be tailored as per your body measurements. When you have the apparels sized to your measurements perfectly, whether suits, shirts, jackets, or pants, you can make the best impression.
