Big guys have it tougher than most when it comes to looking stylish when they hit the streets. Unfortunately men built like football players don’t usually get the same number of options when it comes to picking their outfits but thankfully there are still opportunities to look good when you go out. These are a few of our suggestions that a man that’s large and in charge should take a chance on.
Suits
It’s hard no to look sharp in a good suit. A black, gray, or navy suit is an essential and versatile part of any man’s wardrobe that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. Even so, finding a suit geared toward a bigger guy can be tricky so we were glad to see the new line of suits from NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan. We know these suits were designed by a man who understands what it’s like to have a lot to work with.
Throwback Jerseys
When you’re well over six feet tall and pushing more than 200 lbs. why not put your faith in something made for guys as big as you are? When worn the right way you can’t knock a clean, classic throwback jersey and considering they’re designed for some of the largest guys on the planet we don’t think you’ll have too much trouble finding something in your size. Go for a classic team or player for a little extra vintage style to show off how much of a fan you are. For instance, a fresh vintage Denver Nuggets jersey for Dikembe Mutombo tells everyone that you are prepared to reject any would-be haters.
Camouflage
We’re not saying you have to do it up like “Duck Dynasty” but when done properly camo can definitely be cool. The ever-present military print has been popping up in the world of high fashion lately, being featured prominently in the Season 2 line by Yeezy from Kanye West, and has been popular with major street-wear designers such as Supreme and A Bathing Ape for years. We really like the styles available in the affordable camo collection from this site that fits every wardrobe (and budget). No conscious collector’s closet should be without at least one camo jacket and with the dead of winter coming on quickly you’ll be glad to copped one when you did.
Boots
As any tall guy recognizes, when you hit that magic number with your shoe size (usually above a 12) there are fewer options and the shoes look sillier. If you’ve ever brought home a pair of kicks only to have them look like clown shoes you know what we’re talking about. Thankfully, a classic pair of boots tends to look great no matter what size they are. If you’re one of the millions of people that tuned into Drake’s “Hotline Bling” video you might have noticed some of Champagne Papi’s impressive style trends and caught that the classic Timberland work boot is back in vogue.
