These days, it's easier than ever to find big and tall men's clothing that is styled well and fits just right. A sizing category that was once limited to specialty retail shops mainly found in outlet shopping centers and strip malls is now found in just about every clothing retail store in the country. What's more, it's no longer called by the unappealing title of 'oversize' or 'plus size', having been reclassified as 'big and tall' to cater for the increase in popularity of this comfortable range of clothing. This rise in customer demand has also led to a much wider choice of styles and prices to suit. In fact, there are now so many choices available in the big and tall clothing range that it's actually challenging to choose what to wear next. If you're facing this kind of decision, here are some tips to help you make the right choices.

Don't leave the store without trying on the clothing that you are considering buying. Because clothing sizes are no longer standard, you can no longer simply assume that all of the clothes with an XL label are the same size. You'll see things like clothes being several sizes too small, or too large. Everyone has had the experience of needing to take something back to the store because it did not fit. Spending a few minutes trying on the clothing you're thinking about buying can save you hours of time and irritation later. Have you ever bought something, and when you tried it on (the first time) at home it looks just terrible?

As you know, when shopping for clothes you'll be trying on a lot of things, so wear loosely fitted pants and easy to get on/off shoes to cut down on time. It'll just be less hassle in the fitting rooms. Most people aren't terribly attracted to spending half a day, or more, trying on things - buttons, tying, lacing, snaps, etc. So take a hint and wear things you can easily slip on/off. Besides, who wants to spend all day in dressing rooms? Many stores have a limit to the number of clothes you can take into a dressing room, so this idea will help with that situation.

If you need a nice jacket, always go with single breasted lapels. The single breasted lapel jackets will make you look slimmer.

Formal attire should be shopped for carefully, so take your time and always get it custom-fitted and tailored if possible. Really, there's no reason at all why you won't look great just because you wear big and tall men's clothes. There are plenty of great hints that can make searching for big and tall men's clothing much easier for you. Finding the right outfits to suit you can be easy, no matter what size you are. The key is to work with styles that flatter your shape and then expand your collection accordingly. There are so many designers now offering big and tall men's clothing that there are more choices than ever before. Why not experiment with some of the great new styles available?
