Six Tips for Dressing for the Holidays
Special occasion dressing can prove to be a nightmare for portly men. Dresswear is often the most unforgiving style of clothing out there, pinching and pulling in all the wrong places. With the holidays just around the corner, the staff at Big and Tall London's Menswear have pooled together six great tips for occasion dressing. Just because you're taller or rounder than the average man doesn't mean you can't look your best while out at a party. Dress to impress this holiday season with these big and tall dressing tips:
- Plan Ahead: Is your holiday schedule booked with get-togethers, office parties, and family reunions? If you're planning to be a social butterfly during the holidays, do yourself a favour and review your wardrobe early. If you find that staples like dress pants and suit jackets are too tight, now's the time to purchase replacements. No point trying to squeeze into uncomfortable slacks all season long!
- Keep Comfort in Mind: Looking good doesn't mean you have to feel uncomfortable all night. Instead of squeezing into an ultra tight tux, consider a more relaxed sports jacket. A beautiful shirt is often enough to make a lasting impression. Check out Big and Tall's collection of Luchiano Visconti dress shirts for a handful of stylish options.
- Never Over Dress: Nothing is more embarrassing then showing up for an event dressed to the nines – and everyone else is wearing jeans! If you're not sure what type of dress the function calls for, always under dress. Think dressy casual – pair a Johnathan Quale dress shirt with a pair of Copper Cove Flex-Waist Wrinkle-Free Pants.
- Wear Comfortable Shoes!: Holiday functions are all about mixing and mingling, which means you can anticipate being on your feet for the vast majority of the evening. Keep your feet comfy with a pair of well made dress shoes. Oxfords go well with everything – check out these Johnston & Murphy Melton Oxfords for a long-lasting dress shoe that fits comfortably.
- Add Some Personality!:Accessories are a great way to add a little extra punch to an outfit. A colourful tie is always fashionable, but why not try something different – maybe some suspenders or how about some flashy cuff links? These Ravi Ratan cuff links are quite the conversation piece – not only are they stylish, but they also double as digital storage: each cuff link is a 2 GB USB drive!
- Tailor Your Look:Portly men can rarely purchase something off the rack. If you want to keep your look sharp and pressed during the hectic holiday season remember to have your outfits professionally tailored. Big and Tall London's Menswear will happily hem any pair of pants that you order from our store (simply note in your order comments what length you would like them shortened to – please note all hemmed pant sales are final).
The holidays are a time to get out and celebrate with friends, family, and coworkers. Make sure you're look is as festive as your attitude with fashionable, comfortable outfit from Big & Tall London's Menswear.
