Men’s Soft, Tall Sweaters: Tall Personal Shopper

Today I am helping Linda with some tall personal shopper options.  She is looking for soft feeling, men’s tall sweaters made of cotton that fit someone with a 17 inch neck and 38″ long sleeves. He is 6’6″ tall and around 190 pounds. Linda,Thanks for reaching out for personal shopping help. Most sweaters sizes aren’t listed by neck or sleeve lengths. They are usually just listed by sizes – like LT.  According to those measurements, I’m guessing that he is about an XLT.  Below are the options that I found you including those made of softer fabrics. I especially like cashmere as it feels and looks luxurious. Be sure and check my sale page to make sure if there’s any other coupons that may apply before you make your purchase.

Cool Kicks for Large Feet.

Do people even call them kicks anymore? Am I showing my age?  Alright, I’d better get to the point.  Those of you who read the Blog regularly know I get much of my style inspiration from GQ.  It’s a bit fashion forward so I always try to temper the advice for the “average” male.  The latest headline that caught my eye was their fall lookbook featuring “pumped up kicks” [I guess people do still call them that]!  The editors of GQ have this to say:

“Stylish guys are fetishizing sneakers like never before, and designers have stepped up big-time. There are futuristic neon running shoes you can wear with a suit. Retro-inspired sneaks in shocking new colors. And a bunch of exclusive releases you’ll see here for the first time—all of them fly.”
See the whole slideshow here.
I’ve always been a fan of cool sneakers (or tennis shoes–where you’re from dictates what you call them!).  I think real “running shoes” belong in the gym and nowhere else.  But what do you wear when you want to be comfortable?  Surely not your dress shoes.  Enter a stylish sneaker not really meant to work out in.  Sneakers no longer have to be sloppy. No need to pair with a track suit.  You can easily wear sneakers with jeans, cords, or even dress slacks.  I know this flies in the face of most guys’ philosophy on shoes.  Black/Dressy.  Brown/Dressy.  Sneakers.  Hopefully by the time you finish viewing these cool picks you’ll add one more pair to your list.  Keep reading for cool kicks available in large sizes. Here goes:
Vans Chukka. Up to size 16.  They come in TWENTY colors and are currently on sale.

Tall Personal Shopper: Big & Tall Man Needs Shipping to Canada

Today’s shopping request is for a 6’10” man who is fed up with ill-fitting clothing.  He especially wants some work dress shirts that fit. His size is a 18.5″ neck, like a slim fit and has worn 38″ sleeve lengths, but would love to have a 40″ sleeve length. He has a 38″ waist and wears a 36″-38″ inseam length. Our client is 40 years old and describes his style as preppy. He also lives in Canada, so he needs items that will ship to Canada. (that’s a challenge, but I think I got it.) His budget is to try and keep most items under $50.
