Big and Tall Style Guide for 2011

With the ringing in of the New Year, it's time to make your resolutions. At the top of that list, should be a stylish and functional wardrobe for 2011. Here are some big and tall style tips to get you started.

Make Business-casual a Part of Your Repertoire

Whether you're dressing for business, a night on the town, or just for a party with friends, don't be afraid to throw on a blazer and tie. Ties are becoming a style staple and should be in every big and tall man's weekly wardrobe. You don't need to wear a blazer and tie every day, but wearing a tie or blazer to work, or out with friends, is now popular and stylish. A good big and tall tie that pops is enough to make your entire outfit look together and well planned. For most portly men, a striped tie is a great starting place. As well, a quality Big and Tall Blazer can pair well with jeans or dress pants. Business casual is in for 2011, so make sure it's a part of your wardrobe.

Pay Attention to the Fit

Many big and tall men, or portly men, often choose loose fitting clothes. That however, is a fashion mistake. Big and tall men should embrace their bodies and choose clothes that fit properly. Certain styles of pants, jackets, and shirts can help make your body look sleek, but only if you choose a piece of clothing that fits correctly. At London's Big and Tall Menswear, we've got your size!

Don't be Afraid of Patterns and Plaid

You may have looked at some "loud" patterns over the last year and thought there is no way you would wear that; but in 2011, patterns, plaid, and stripes are in. Liven up your wardrobe with a striped or plaid big and tall shirt. Pair it with a plain pair of khakis or jeans, and you'll definitely be looking sharp. Portly men's clothing and big and tall clothing shouldn't be difficult to find. London's Big and Tall Menswear has a wide selection of casual shirts, dress shirts, polos, and t-shirts that are in stock and in style. Remember, if you're looking for a way to spruce up your look, add a crisp and clean pattern to your top.

New Shoes, New You

The quickest way to add a new zest to your wardrobe is with a new pair of big and tall shoes. In 2011, don't be surprised to see men of all ages walking around without socks. It may seem strange, but no socks is stylish. No socks is more of a casual look, so it's likely not the best fit for business, but on a warm summer day, it is a nice way to show you're up on fashion trends. For those business meetings however, portly men's socks are still a must have, and Big and Tall London's Menswear has a wide selection of big and tall socks.

Leather is back!

It may seem like leather has been gone for a while, but it's time to break out your favourite leather jacket. What's that? You don't have a leather jacket? In 2011, leather is in, so make sure you check out London Big and Tall's selection of portly men's jackets and Big and Tall Leather Jackets.

There you have it. Style and fashion changes as quickly as the weather, so be prepared, but by following the London Big and Tall Menswear style guide, you'll be well on your way to looking and feeling great in 2011.
