When it comes to men's clothing in large sizes, many men are faced with an important choice: Should they go for Big or Tall sizes? This choice may seem confusing, but it's crucial to achieve the best possible fit and comfort. NORTH LATITUDE, a leading provider of men's plus size clothing, offers a wide range of both Big and Tall options designed to meet the unique needs of men who fall outside the standard size ranges. Here's a guide on how to determine which category is best for you and how to choose clothes that make you look and feel great.
Understand the difference between big and tall
Before making a decision, it's important to understand the difference between Big and Tall sizes:
- Big sizes are designed for men who need extra width around the stomach and chest. Clothing in the Big category often has a more generous cut around these areas to ensure comfort and a flattering fit.
- Tall sizes are intended for taller men, typically those over 188 cm who need longer sleeve and body lengths. This ensures that the garment falls correctly on the body and offers adequate coverage.
Choose big if:
- You're looking for clothes that offer more room around the stomach and chest area.
- You often find that standard sizes tighten or pull uncomfortably over these areas.
- You prefer a looser fit that doesn't restrict your movement.
Choose tall if:
- You are tall and have difficulty finding clothes that are long enough in the sleeves or body length.
- You find that standard sizes often end up too high on your arm or torso, leaving a “short” impression.
- You're looking for a fit that complements your height with correctly proportioned lengths.
Tips for choosing the right size at NORTH LATITUDE
- Measure Yourself: Use a tape measure to accurately measure your chest, waist, arm length and leg length. NORTH LATITUDE offers a detailed size guide to help you match these measurements with the right sizes.
- Understand the fit: Read the product descriptions carefully. NORTH LATITUDE often provides details about the fit, such as “relaxed fit” or “slim fit”, which can help you understand how a specific garment will sit on your body.
Choosing between “Big” and “Tall” at NORTH LATITUDE isn't just about finding clothes that fit. It's about finding clothes that bring out the best in your body type and give you confidence. With the right knowledge and understanding of what these specific sizes offer, you can achieve exact that.
