Women’s Trendy Tall Jackets & Tall Blazers for Fall

By Krista Mayne

I love to wear stylish jackets and as a tall woman, sometimes my options are limited. This fall there are plenty of women’s trendy tall jackets and tall blazers. Here are a few of the current trends in tall jackets and tall blazers I have found by shopping online.

1. Long length tall jackets look terrific on tall women and there are plenty of options this fall. The long length jacket is similar to a duster length. They give you a tall, slimming effect that is not only beautiful but exudes confidence when worn with a classy pair of tall jeans or trousers.

2. Another option for trendy tall jackets and tall blazers for fall are glamorous fabrics such as leather and suede. Tall leather jackets and blazers give the tall woman an edgy and stylish appearance. Today’s tall leather jackets are available in many colors from classic browns to rich purples.

3. Tall corduroy blazers are a definite must have item for fall. Available in solid colors, prints and quilted patterns, corduroy tall blazers are durable and will stand the test of time.

4. Tweed tall jackets and tall blazers are very trendy for fall. You can find them in varying length and colors. Tall tweed jackets have been in style for a few years and we expect this classic style to continue for many more. Tweed tall jackets are a great way to add some texture and fun to your tall wardrobe.

As you can see tall women have some great options in trendy tall jackets and tall blazers for fall. We are not stuck with having to buy the same old navy blue tall blazer, but can experiment with some texture and different lengths of tall jackets and tall blazers.

New Choices for Men’s Big and Tall Shirts

By Krista Mayne

Big and tall men have a lot of options in long-sleeve shirts these days. Gone are the days of settling for buying short sleeve shirt because the long sleeves shirts are not long enough, or buying a shirt and rolling it up to disguise a sleeve length too short. Now there are plenty of long sleeve big and tall shirts on the market. Here are some of the current trends in the men’s big and tall shirt department.

Some popular big and tall shirts are wrinkle-free big and tall shirts. Now when you travel, you can look great too, as many of the big and tall shirts on the market are easy to care for, just wash and dry, shake out the wrinkles and you are good to go.

Another current trend in men’s big and tall shirts are shirts with a pattern print. As a big and tall man, you can get away with wearing any type of pattern whether it is stripes, plaids, or checks. All of these patterns work for a big and tall man.

Texture is hot this season in big and tall shirts. You are not limited to plain cotton or polyester fabrics. Now you can choose from fabrics such as corduroy, denim, suede, or canvas.

The most interesting types of big and tall shirts that I have found are specialized big and tall travel shirts. Many of these big and tall shirts have special features such as sun protection made from a fabric rated for its level of ultraviolet or UV protection. Other big and tall travel shirts have insect repellent built into the shirt- so you can enjoy the outdoors without being bothered by pesky bugs. There are also big and tall shirts made with unique fabrics that keep you cool as they whisk moisture away from you, so you can arrive at your destination fresh smelling and dry. Some big and tall shirts on the market are made especially for those who enjoy outdoor sports such as fishing shirts with extra pockets for all of your fishing gear.

Big and tall shirts are most prevalent on the Internet, as many of the retail stores do not carry big and tall shirts.

A Personal Note from Krista

On this day of grief for our country, let us pause to remember all of the victims of 9/11 including the emergency workers who put their lives on the line daily for us. My father was a Marine in Vietnam and then was a career policeman. He died in the line of duty when his helicopter crashed while searching for a missing toddler. Today I pause to say a prayer for all policemen, firefighters, emergency workers and soldiers everywhere that they may be protected and blessed for their efforts to help all of us. I also pray for peace and harmony throughout the world. At the very least, remember to post your flag today!
Thanks,

Krista

Trendy Plus Size Clothing for Fall

Until recently trendy plus size clothing was non-existent. This fall trendy plus size clothing is everywhere. Here are a few tips for looking your best and still dressing trendy. Grey is the new black of the season. Grey pants, grey jeans or a grey shirt are the foundation pieces for any plus size women’s fall wardrobe. Like the color black, grey also has a slimming effect especially if used on the lower half of your body or as a monochromatic effect by dressing in various shades of grey from head to toe.

Purple is a very trendy plus size clothing color this fall. Try using it in moderation, such as a beautiful blouse or as an accessory. A great way to add a bright pop of color would be to wear a beautiful necklace or add a purple purse.

Wrap shirts are still a trendy plus size clothing staple- as they can take many inches off your waist by disguising a trouble spot and creating the illusion of a waist.

Kimono shirts are another hot fall must have item as they drape nicely over a wide arm and balance out a large torso. If you buy a shirt with a pattern, be sure that it is a larger pattern, as a small pattern will only make you look out of proportion.

There are many trendy plus size jeans on the market this fall. Two of the hottest trends are straight leg plus size jeans and wide leg plus size jeans. They look hot on just about any figure. Buy them in a grey color, and you will be really stylish. Have fun, go shopping and get a few pieces of trendy plus size clothing for your fall wardrobe.
