Being tall has advantages in many ways, but when it comes to choosing the right clothes, it can turn into a nightmare. What obstacles do people of above-average height face when getting dressed, and how can they deal with them successfully? In this article, we’ll share a few useful tips with you.
Where to buy clothes that are long enough?
Let’s start with the biggest stumbling block: clothing measurements. Finding clothes that fit tall people perfectly is a real challenge. Luckily, there are now brands that make clothes specifically for the tallest among us. At TallGuys, for example, you can dress stylishly from head to toe. We make elongated T-shirts, hoodies, polo shirts, as well as shorts and sweatpants. All from organic cotton that is as soft as a cloud. You choose the length by your height:
| Length | Your height |
|---|---|
| Classic | 175–190 cm |
| Long | 185–200 cm |
| Extra Long | 200–215 cm |

You then choose your size by your chest, shoulders and waist, and you’ll find more in the guide how to choose the right size. For tall women, we have a separate article Clothing for tall women: how to choose the right length.
Where to store long clothes when they don’t fit in the wardrobe?
Once we manage to find pieces that suit us, the next question comes up: where do we put them? Standard wardrobes and hangers often can’t hold a larger number of longer pieces without them getting creased or damaged. The answer can be roomier furniture or wardrobe organisers that let you arrange and store your clothes better. It’s also important to sort through your clothes regularly and get rid of pieces you don’t wear or that no longer make you happy, so you make room for new additions.
Which cuts suit tall men?
Choosing cuts carefully is the key to a comfortable, flattering outfit for every tall man. If you want to emphasise your height, go for elongated tops, clothes with vertical stripes or slim high-waisted trousers. If, on the other hand, you want your figure to look smaller, go for clothes with horizontal stripes, low-rise trousers, short jackets or blazers.
How to put an outfit together when you’re tall?
If you don’t pay enough attention to how the individual pieces go together, an outfit can look unnatural or mismatched. The key to success is finding cuts and lengths that work together. For example, an elongated T-shirt goes really well with slim high-waisted trousers, which creates a balanced look. It’s also important to think about colours and patterns. If you’re in the mood for clothes with bold prints or colours, try to keep the other pieces simpler and neutral. For the perfect look, don’t forget accessories such as a watch, a cap or a leather belt.
Height is no limit to your personal style. On the contrary, you can see it as your own unique defining feature. Believe in yourself and be proud of your one-of-a-kind build. Because there’s no better fashion accessory than good self-confidence.
