Men’s Big and Tall Sweaters & Sweatshirts
Sure, your closet is probably already stocked with big and tall sweaters and sweatshirts, but do you know how to properly style them? There’s a little more to it than just throwing on a baggy hoodie and a pair of ripped jeans. Read on for some essential tips on looking your best and dressing for your body type.
Find Your Perfect Fit
It might seem counterintuitive, but just because you have a big and tall frame doesn’t mean your clothes should be super oversized. When shopping for big and tall clothes you just need to make sure you have a little extra room in the body and extra length in the torso, sleeves and legs. The same thing goes for selecting big and tall sweatshirts and sweaters, they just need to fit your frame comfortably and have sleeves that hit right at your wrists.
Layer, Layer, Layer!
Nothing breaks up your proportions and creates a streamlined effect more than some strategic layering. Thin big and tall sweaters look excellent when paired with perfectly tailored blazers. Let a plaid or denim shirt peek out from underneath a cable-knit sweater for a look that works for weekends or business casual days. Big and tall hoodies look great when you throw a cool jean jacket on top and add a fresh pair of sneakers.
Play With Color
You’ve probably already heard that dark colors are slimming, and that has merit, but there’s no need to commit yourself to a colorless wardrobe. If you’re just dipping your toes in the water, start with one statement piece like a bright red sweatshirt or a lavender sweater and balance them out with black jeans and charcoal chinos. If even that’s a step too far, consider accessories like a bold baseball cap with your fave team logo or a fun pair of statement shades.
