For big and tall men like us, finding clothing that fits well and reflects our personal style can be tough. Not to mention, having nice clothes that fit correctly, can be a boost to our confidence and comfort. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the best places to find quality big and tall clothing. Some of my favorites include DXL, Kohl’s, Columbia’s official website, and utilizing eBay to save money without compromising on style or fit.
Our Favorites
(In No Particular Order)
DXL (Destination XL)
DXL has to be one of the standards when it comes to the world of men’s big and tall fashion. They offer a wide array of sizes and styles tailored specifically for big and tall men. Whether you’re in search of everyday essentials or formal attire, DXL has you covered. They have an extensive selection from various brands.
For polo shirts, my absolute favorite are Ralph Lauren Polo. They seem to last forever, but they come at a cost. I’m usually hesitant to pay the price, so I choose other options. DXL sells the less expensive Harbor Bay polos, but they tend to not last for me so I usually steer away from polo shirts at DXL.
Where DXL shines for me is for casual and dress shirts. Harbor Bay casual (button down) and dress shirts fit me well and have always been durable. If you’re looking for dress clothes, Harbor Bay and Synergy have worked well for me. I also like shopping for Jeans at DXL. They always seem to have the sizes I need.
If you need to build a versatile wardrobe that meets your size and style requirements, DXL can be a great place to start.
Kohl’s
Kohl’s is renowned for its affordability and diverse range of clothing options, but I think many people overlook their Big & Tall section.It’s a go-to for me. They have a variety at a lower cost than many other places that sell larger sizes. One of my favorites lately have been Sonoma shirts.
Keep an eye out for sales and promotions to score great deals on clothing from reputable brands.
Columbia.com
For outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers, Columbia’s official website is a treasure trove of high-performance clothing designed to withstand the elements. With a dedicated section for big and tall sizes, Columbia ensures that individuals of all shapes and sizes can enjoy their innovative outdoor apparel.
I’ve bought everything from winter coats and rain jackets, to shorts and moisture-wicking shirts. A couple of times a year, I’m lucky enough to get passes into their employee store and get great discounts. If you can find someone who works there or has a business agreement with them, it’s well worth looking into.
Columbia’s offerings combine style and functionality seamlessly, allowing you to explore the great outdoors with confidence.
eBay
eBay offers a unique opportunity for big and tall shoppers to discover quality clothing at discounted prices, including my personal favorite brands like Ralph Lauren Polo and Vinyard Vines. While Ralph Lauren Polo is renowned for its exceptional quality, it often comes with a hefty price tag. I consistently look through the “new with tags” listings to get some great deals.
By browsing eBay’s new and even gently used clothing, you can uncover hidden gems that align with your size and style preferences without breaking the bank. You may not always find exactly what you’re looking for, but if you keep an eye out, it can be a great place to add to your wardrobe.
As I mentioned, it’s important for everyone, including us bigger men to have quality clothing that fits well. It’s essential for feeling confident and comfortable in any situation.
I hope by sharing my experience in this area, I can help you find the best clothes for you.
