Just because you are “larger” than the average sized man, does that mean your search for great-looking clothes has to be limited to so-called “big and tall stores” or off-price chains? The answer, says James Anthony, founder of the style platform Riot Bear, is a resounding no. Anthony stresses that “bigger dudes” do have options; the bad news, he says, is that their search for fabulous fashion is harder than it needs to be.
“I love fashion, and I love going into brick-and-mortar stores to find great clothes for my – or any – silhouette,” says Anthony. “I think whether it’s Gap or Gucci, it can be a fun adventure. But that said, there is much more demand for large sizes than most brands are willing to accommodate, and that’s really a missed opportunity. Too often, brands only carry their biggest sizes online, or they make three pieces to be spread across the entire United States. The fact is, bigger-size clothing should be better incorporated into every brand and every store. It shouldn’t be considered a novelty.”
