Facebook Tall Personal Shopping

Last night I asked if anyone needed any personal shopping help. I was able to answer several people directly via Facebook, but some required more detailed help. So here is the answers to your style questions:

Tall Tankini

Needed- a tall tankini with a skirt, size 16 – preferably around $50.

I’m having a hard time keeping within your budget, so here’s what I did find.

tall tankinis

Adjustable Tankini Top – several colors.    High Rise Swim Skirt.

Reviews say you may need to size up.

Tall Khakis

“I also can’t find cute, stylish, cotton (or blend) khaki pants with a boot cut leg and a bum that won’t sag in size 16/18 with a 36″ inseam anywhere! Would spend up to $75.”

Gap – Tall Khaki pants have a 37″ inseam, but if these would work, I know a lot of us love them. Just to size 16 though.

Loft – Tall Cotton Pants – reviews say they have a slimmer fit.

Long Red Sweater

“I’m post-pregnancy and looking for a long, red (jewel tone) sweater (the kind that’s open in the front) to wear with dark jeans and brown, knee-high equestrian boots for Christmas pictures. I want it to camo the mummy tummy. I’m size 16-18 (xl), six feet tall, 36″ inseam. Will spend up to $100.”

As much as I’d love to find you an open cardigan, I’m not finding it in redish colors, so here’s the next best options:

 red cardiganRed Tall Cardigan

 tall burgundy cardigan

Boyfriend Burgundy Tall Cardigan

Tall Denim Jackets

“I just started working in a preschool with a little boy who has a tendency to bite. I am desperately looking for a jean jacket to save my arms. I need the sleeves to cover my wrists. I am 6’2 and an Xl. My school will cover a reasonably priced jacket, but I am willing to pay a little extra for something I can wear outside the classroom as a wardrobe bonus!”

This request made me laugh as it’s a first, but let’s save your arms! 🙂

Where to Buy Mens Tall Sweatshirts: Personal Shopping

I received a tall personal shopper request from Kim. She is trying to help her tall teen son find mens tall sweatshirts.

Client: 6’7″ tall. Age 17. Size LT.

Wanting: tall sweatshirts in cool styles like his friends wear preferably with name brands such as Nike, Adidas, college teams or NBA teams.

Krista Responds: It is a bit early in the season, but I have found you some choices you may like.  The name brands you mentioned aren’t always made in talls – mainly just in big sizes – which I know doesn’t help you out.  Here are the best current choices that I have found for you.

Row 1:

Old Navy has affordable tall hoodies.

Nike Tall Jacket – not a sweatshirt, but he may like it.

Lacoste Tall Hoodie

Row 2: 

Gap Zip Tall Hoodie

Cutter & Buck Pullover sweatshirt in 3 colors.

Carhartt Tall Hoodie

Row 3:

I like the selection of mens tall sweatshirts at Ralph Lauren.

Society of One – Button Tall Hoodie

Michael Kors Fleece Tall Pullover

Other options:

The NBA Store – has big and tall sweatshirts. Do a search for “tall”.

Check out the Macy’s sports fan shop for some big and tall sweatshirts. Such as Boston Celtics tall sweatshirt,

Westport Big & Tall’s team shop as some items for tall NFL clothing.

Calvin Klein Tall Hoodie

I hope I have helped you in your search for mens tall sweatshirts and hoodies.

Client: Carl, a tall man who is having a hard time finding slim and modern fitting tall dress shirts that fit his neck and arms without being too baggy in the chest area.

Wants:  Dress Shirts in size Chest 40 – 42, Neck 17.5, Sleeve 36 / 37, Slim / Modern fit

Budget: Prefers under $50 but could go as high as $100.

One idea is to get a custom made dress shirt from Blank Label. Their custom shirts start at $85.
To get proper measurements, you can either visit a tailor, or you can lay down a shirt that fits you well on a flat surface and take your measurements. Then you can easily enter them on their website.
