You may have noticed, as we have, that some big and tall men have no idea how to wear a simple pair of trousers. They either choose pants that are too baggy, too tight, or worst of all, sit way too low, hanging down under their waist leaving their butt exposed for all to see. Er, no thanks guys! Whether you are big, tall or fall somewhere in-between, here’s some tips on choosing the right pants and jeans for you.
For the Big Gent:
Choosing dark coloured trousers is a good idea for big men as they tend to be more flattering than brighter tones. -If you want to look more lean, we would suggest avoiding pleats and going for regular cut, straight leg pants. They have less fabric build up (and therefore less unnecessary bulk). -Skinny cut pants and jeans are a big no-no for larger men, they will attract unneeded attention to your legs and create bulk in places you want to avoid. Instead, go for full cut, flat front pants. -Dress pants with a front pressed crease creates a vertical line down the leg, making them seem longer and giving the big man a slimmer look. -Wear your trousers high, but not too high. Just below your natural waist if possible. Wearing them low will more often than not require a belt, which is pulled tight underneath the belly, causing the stomach to fall over it and create that unwanted bulge. -While fashionable among younger chaps, low rise pants and jeans should be avoided by the big man as they do nothing for the large physique. -A bigger belly means it is more difficult keeping your pants from sliding down. We suggest a flat front, traditional or relaxed cut style pants. Simply buying the biggest size available won't solve the issue. It's all about the perfect fit. -While it's hard to beat a stylish belt for practicality, big guys should think about the alternative of wearing braces. They can be an attractive option while also a more comfortable one.
