First you may need to go out and buy a tape measure, one that’s flexible. It’s best to measure yourself when you have bare feet, keeping your back straight and standing tall. I recommend measuring yourself 2-3 times because your posture can change giving a different measurement each time. If possible get someone else to do it for you. Collar – Wrap the tape measure around the base of your neck not too tightly. This is especially useful to measure your shirt size when needing to wear a tie. Business shirts always use the measurement of the collar for the size e.g. 39 medium, 41-42 large, 43-44 extra large etc. Casual shirts will be sized small, medium, large–.. Sleeve – Take the measurement from the base of the collar seam, following the outside shoulder down to the wrist for sleeve length. Chest – Measure by wrapping the tape up under the arms and at the fullest part of the chest. Keep the tape as straight as possible across the back ensuring it’s over the shoulder blades to get an accurate measurement. Waist – Generally a trouser is worn below the navel at a comfortable level. When you wrap the tape measure around your waist, allow for any other garments which might be worn underneath, e.g. singlet, to get a true measurement. Trouser Leg – This is taken from the inside crutch (top in between your legs) to the bottom hemline. The trouser length should fall to approximately 1 cm above the floor when in bare feet. This will allow for the shoe heals when wearing them. Big and Tall When are you considered a Big and Tall person? Is it when you have big feet? Perhaps you think of yourself as a big man because your thighs are quite large at the top or maybe you have a thick neck and you find it difficult to buy a business shirt? Well, I’ll explain the differences in the sizing so you can understand which department you may need to go to when shopping for clothes. It’s not really a great look when larger men or women choose to buy clothes that don’t fit correctly. Many big men and women oversize themselves by trying to hide the effects of being overweight, but this just gives a sloppy appearance. Then there’s the other end of the scale where people don’t like to admit their size and buy clothing far too small for themselves, so these people end up looking like their clothes shrunk in the dryer. When buying clothes, if you can, try them on or if like me you prefer not to in the shop then at least shop where an item can be returned or exchanged so you can take it home, see what you think and exchange if necessary. Many stores don’t refund without the garment being faulty so check first before buying. Big Men’s sections generally begin their sizes at 3 XL going anywhere up from there. Some stores only carry up to 6 or 7 XL and some go to 12 XL. Be aware of the sizing as many companies claim to have a big men’s range when in fact the sizing is misleading due to it being incorrectly labelled larger, making you buy up a size or two so my advice is to check their individual size charts for inches or cm measurements. This has been a constant issue for many women due to a lot of clothing now being made in Asian countries and women are not amused to say they bought a size bigger than they actually are. Me included! With the more and more people of the world becoming overweight, department stores have finally acknowledged the need to increase their size variety and there’s now a fantastic range of clothes around for big and tall men. Everyone has the opportunity to dress well on a budget and stand confident in their choice of style. Trousers usually have at least 2 lengths to choose from, one being regular and the second most popular are short. For tall men it can be a big problem to get trousers long enough to the shoe with many having to make do with socks showing. Trousers tend to differ by around 2 inches not only in length but also in the crutch to waist measurement. The shorter length availability saves having to have a tailor take them up which can be more expensive than the price of the trousers. Shirts often vary in length also. Big or tall men can have trouble tucking the shirt in at the waist if the back is too short which usually are longer than the front. You don’t want to tuck your shirt in too tightly but at the same time don’t want it hanging out either as it looks messy. Being a big man, you may choose to wear a woolen vest, which I personally think looks extremely smart and like. Shoes are another issue altogether for big and tall guys. Just because you may be carrying a bit of weight does not mean your feet are large. Most problems to arise are the width of the foot, not the actual size. Walmart have a range of Wrangler jeans up to size 60 inch or 152 cm at a price of $17.77 which I think is fantastic value or a Faded Glory Original fit jean reduced to only $11. Unfortunately their shirt sizes aren’t as generous as their trousers with most shirts only up to 5 -6 XL. If you’re a 60 inch trouser, chances are you won’t fit a 5 XL shirt. Marks & Spencer have now increased their size range in the big and tall men’s trouser department to a size 52 inches or 132 cm. This is still excellent guys, with a great range across the board of trousers starting at 12.50 for a flat front crease resistant plain trouser and jeans starting at 15. The only issue there is the out of stocks. You may not get the color you would like and may need to compromise. Again the shirt sizes don’t actually match the shape of the body if you wear a size 52 trouser. On their website the shirt size chart goes up to a 19 in or 3 XL which is not an overly large shirt and most seem to be out of stock. With the amount of people buying online these days you need to be able to convert sizes as they differ country to country. If buying from European sites and you’re from the US or UK you’ll need to convert. I used this sizing chart which I found helpful. Some countries are the same so always check first.

So Guys, with online shopping becoming easier and stores expanding ranges, check out some of the fantastic clothes you can now buy in bigger sizes.

Pendants-Sober and simple looking pendants are no more in trend for men’s fashion. Today, men are wearing bold and stylish pendants that are bright and colourful. Select the metal ones with stone work. Leather and silicon ones would also do. Choose pendants in rectangular figures or beast shapes carved on them.

Leather necklaces- If you are a person who wears V-neck shirts, wearing a leather necklace is essential. It is sure to enhance the appearance of the collar bone and gives you a better look. Buy one with the stone locket or designed metal. But if you have a thin neck, make sure they aren’t very wide. Picking a dark leather necklace is always advisable.

Its wonderful to see how one small piece of accessory can add so much style and elegance to your look. If chosen wisely, these are sure to make you stand out in the crowd.

Summer is approaching and its the season when people wear the least clothing. A lot of men spend a lot time looking for the right swimwear, but some dont mind, thinking that they can choose anything. So, many men walk along beaches wearing their trunks, thinking that they look good. There is no disrespect intended here, but you should spend a little more time thinking about what you must wear. Mens swimwear, after all, comes in different designs, and every man has his own unique taste. You cant just think that because men are not as crazy as women when it comes to shopping, doesnt mean that you shouldnt take a lot of time as well to consider which trunks to get.

Dont get this article wrong!

Its absolutely necessary to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. However, this advice has limitations. The swimwear you choose defines you as a man. The most important thing is that they should look good on you. You dont want to be the one being laughed at when you are at the beach, do you? Dont believe the wear what makes you comfortable clich anymore. You may be comfortable in tight briefs alone, but the onlookers may not be.

How Mens Bikinis Changed

Through the years, fashion has changed. What men and women wore fifty years ago is so much different to what you see today. In the 1930s, when the world was still more conservative than liberal, mens swimwear covered more skin. Swimming trunks a long time ago looked almost the same. But today, they come in several diverse varieties and styles, allowing men to have more choices. Makers of male bikinis have understood that men do not come in one shape. There is a specific type of swimwear for tall and thin men. There is another for chubby men.

The Importance of Wearing the Right Bikini

You may think that it doesnt matter what kind of swimming attire you sport. But, you should also think about the reactions of ladies if they see you wearing something you look awkward in. You dont want to hear giggles when you pass by.

Some men are particular with whats in. They choose their attire based on the current trend. Men spending some time at the beach may wear fashionable bikinis. Are you walking along the shores in your regular briefs? Please dont!

Fitting swimming trunks are great if you are going for a swim, because they are not heavy even when wet. Choose comfortable swimwear but not one thats too tight. What kind should you get? Briefs are good for lap swimming and racing. But those who want a little more covering may opt for boxer briefs. Trunks, on the other hand, extend to the thighs. If you are going for a dive, you can wear leg suits.

It depends on your build.

Your body type determines what kind of swimwear is best for you. Athletic men can wear any kind. But if you are short, look for briefs with a high leg cut and a low waist band to give an illusion of longer legs and to flaunt your abs. In general, short males should avoid long shorts at the beach. Fitting briefs, on the other hand, are not too flattering for leggy men. They should wear loose-fitting shorts insteadbut not too loose, of course. Chubby men should choose swimwear with small patterns. Wearing a shirt should hide the flab.

The cold weather months are upon us. Being in style this winter season means wearing classic winter coat designs. The pea coat is your perfect choice.

Like most pillars of men’s fashion, the pea coat’s story can be traced back to the military. Since the eighteenth century, overcoats resembling the modern pea coat have been used by European and American naval personnel. Even today, the pea coat is regular issue to the heroic men and women of the United States Navy.

Because the classic pea coat continues to be fashionable and stylish, multiple variations are sold by many retailers in North America. As well, being a military issue garment, many pea coats can be picked up at army surplus stores for very reasonable prices. If you would like to purchase a more elegant pea coat, many top designers offer their own versions of this stylish and functional cold-weather coat.

Despite where you purchase your coat, you should not buy a style that differs too much from the classic military original. Here’s what you ought to keep an eye out for when you buy a pea coat:
* Good quality pea coats are composed of durable and warm wool, so be skeptical of any type of pea coat that isn’t primarily composed of quality wool for its external layer.
* Wide lapels, large buttons, and vertical or slash pockets are notable characteristics of classic pea coats.
* Your coat should definitely fit you! Because of it’s bulky construction and thick fabric a pea coat can seem over-sized for a guy with a wiry frame. If you have a slender build, take your coat to your local alterations shop and have them alter it to be more fitting to your shape.

A well maintained pea coat can be a useful wardrobe piece as it can be both dressed up or dressed down. With the addition of a scarf, red or white will do, your winter pea coat outfit will keep you fashion forward and warm and all winter long.
