Florida Big and Tall Clothing

By Krista Mayne August 27, 2014

This personal shopping request was sent to me via one of my close friends. He recently moved to Florida and landed an amazing job. His company is giving him a $500 spending account to get some new clothes. Don’t we wish all of our employers would do this? Bonus!

Client: 6’5″ tall

Size: 3XLT in tops and size 50″ waist by 34″ inseam length.

Needs: He want most of the items to be bright colored button up shirts with short sleeve and then add in a few pairs of dress pants. He absolutely hates going shopping so I’ve tried to include pick items that have free shipping so it can be delivered directly to his door.

Krista Responds: I love helping with these challenges, but especially when it’s someone that I am know. I have known this friend for many years and am thrilled that he and his wife took a chance and moved to the beach to live out his dreams. It’s been a bit of rocky road, but recently everything is falling into place for them and I couldn’t be happier. I told my friend that I would post this while the Labor Day Sales were happening to maximize the money.

A Little Bit of Leopard Print

By Krista Mayne August 22, 2014

We all need a little bit of leopard print in our wardrobe. I prefer leopard print accessories as they can mix and match with many colors. Today I choose to create an outfit in tonal colors of tans and creams. These neutrals work well together and are always stylish.

Tall Cream Pullover. Leopard Print Scarf. Zip Pocket Tall Trousers – 36″ Inseam

Layered Bracelet. Tan Crossbody Bag. Leopard Print Flats to size 13

7’1″ Tall Medical Student Need Clothes

By Krista Mayne August 20, 2014

Client: 24 years old man, 7’1″ tall and in medical school

Size: Waist – 36″, Inseam – 40″ long.

Needs: khakis, jeans and shorts

This tall man is in medical school and needs to look sharp, but is having a hard time finding clothes that will work for his long legs. He is probably the tallest man that has contacted me for shopping help and I’m honored to help!

Men’s 40″ Inseam Pants

Casual Male has this pair of mens 40″ inseam, flat front pants. For the younger crowd, I always recommend flat front pants. This pair is wrinkle and stain-resistant.

JCPenney’s hemmed pants can be hemmed up to 38.5″ long. But, you can get them unhemmed and I don’t know the exact inseam, but they may be around 40″ long. I like this pair of Haggar plain front no-iron pants.

Similarly, Lands’ End also has hemmed pants up to 38″ long, but you can also get them unhemmed. Here is a pair of no-iron, flat front pants.

Men’s 40″ Inseam Jeans

Here’s a basic, affordable pair of comfort 40″ inseam jeans.

And a more stylish, designer pair of Robert Graham jeans.

Perhaps you’d like a classic pair of Levi’s 501s.

Men’s Extra Long Shorts

I am unclear if you need the shorts for school or just for general every day wear. So, I’ve tried to pick a few pairs that may mix into both areas of your life:

Dickies Shorts – 13″ inseam

Union Bay 15″ Inseam Cargo Shorts – several colors

Jetsetter 14″ Inseam Shorts – several colors

Kuhl 16″ Inseam Shorts

I hope this helps you find some items that fit. If you do purchase any items, I’d love you to leave a comment below this post with how the items fit. I hope you succeed in medical school and hope in the future you’ll share any advancements or research you come across that can help tall people live better lives!
