Fashion Tips - in need of a new style


Expert: Amanda C. - 3/7/2009

Question
hey Amanda,  i am about 6'6 and weigh about 275 lbs. i need help on figuring out a new style because i used to always just be a gym rat and dress in shorts and what ever type of T-shirt to play basketball or box. i try to dress in polos and nice jeans. i need to find more of my pretty boy type of style because i'm starting to party more and talk to girls alot more, and its so difficult for me to find jeans i like that fit and i have a really hard time shopping because i don't really know what to look for. if you have any suggestions on what i should wear and how i could start shopping the right way it= would greatly appreciate it. thanks!

Answer
Hi Joe,

So sorry for the delay with this response, I ask on vacation but for some reason my account wasn't updated!

What kind of a look do you want to go for?  You are right for wanting to get some nice jeans that fit well.  I would get a pair that has a darker wash and then maybe a medium wash.  This way it will be easy to put it together with a button down or whatnot and you are all set.

Not sure where you live, but I would maybe go to a department store like Nordstroms or Bloomingdales where they have pretty good mens denim selections.  Since you are pretty tall you may have to find brands that have the right length.  I know 7 for all mankind makes long length jeans for men.  They are a little pricey but a great fit!  Also Levis makes long length for men which have some good styles.

The best advice in terms of heading out shopping is to see if a friend could join you!  :)  This way you will have someone to give you feedback!

Good luck!

Sorry again for the delay!
Amanda
