It’s no secret, shopping for pants when you’re tall sucks. Many brands out there still don't understand that there is demand for long nicely fitted, comfortable and stylish pants. Of all the pant types out there I struggle to find many good tall brands that sell a good pair of chinos. Chinos have to be one of the most versatile pants out there for men.

DoYouEven – Stylish and Fitted Active Wear
I have a confession... When it comes to buying clothing, my guilty pleasure is active wear. We workout to be healthy and look better naked so why not also look good in the process?

Working harder means you'll get the results you … [Read more...]
Announcing: 2Tall Has Pants With A 36″ Inside Leg
A while back I reviewed an incredibly comfortable pair of jeans from 2Tall. Whilst those jeans to this day are my favourite pair, my problem was that they were only available with an inside leg of 38-inches! This meant I had to spend some extra money to get them hemmed and I couldn't wear them straight away. Was it a deal breaker? Absolutely not but it would have … [Read more...]

Goodbye Levi’s 508: The Death of the Perfect Jeans for Tall People with Big Legs
A while back I reviewed one of the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever worn: Levi’s 508. Those jeans fit me so well that I ended up buying two pairs in different shades of blue. Aside from length, my biggest issue with finding jeans has always been the fit around my quads (thank you squats and genetics). Most pants that fit me well in the waist end up being too narrow in the … [Read more...]

Doubs Clothing: Australian Clothing for Tall Men
Living in Australia it's always been a struggle for me to find local clothing brands that specialise in clothing for tall men. These brands simply do not exist so I have to buy a majority of my clothing online from around the world. You can imagine my excitement when, a few months ago, I came across Doubs Clothing. I was thrilled; finally, an Australian brand that makes … [Read more...]
Baggy Clothes Are Not For Tall People
Whilst baggy clothes might feel comfortable, as a tall person, you should try to avoid them at all costs. Here are the 3 main reasons why baggy clothes are not suited for tall people: They make you look like you’ve lost a lot of weight and are drowning in your old clothes.

Shirt Review – Charles Tyrwhitt Slim and Extra Slim Fit
In one of my previous posts, Tall People Style Part 1: Long Sleeve Shirt I talked about the issues tall people face when trying to buy a long sleeve shirt. One of the biggest problems I have when buying long sleeve shirts is finding a shirt with long enough sleeves that also fits well in the body.
