Answerland: Where’s My Waist, Wedding Attire & Big and Tall Shopping

Formalwear by the pool

Geli316 asks: Where should my pants rest? I have a little belly, do I wear them bigger at my belly button? or below my gut at my waist?
Wear your pants where you feel they’re most comfortable. A lot of guys wear their pants below their belly (at the hips) for comfort, but other gents we talk to say they wear them at their natural waist. It all depends on your personal preference and the type of look that you’re going for. A look that’s a bit more dressy and classic could benefit from your pants being worn a bit higher. Try it both ways, look in the mirror and see what you think.

Getting fitted with Indochino's Traveling Tailor

Gettingfocused asks: Hey, I have a question, I live in NH. I am a big guy 6’4″ 400 lbs who is sick of the clothing scene at Casual Male, etc. Any recommendations. I have a casual wedding in California, palm springs next week. Thanks.
You could try to shake things up a bit with something from Indochino. They make clothing to your exact measurements, so suiting up for a casual wedding would be pretty easy. Only problem – you need it next week, and it takes a couple of weeks to get your custom made order back. (Perfection takes time, right?) Check out Men’s Wearhouse, and basically anything from the Ralph Lauren Big and Tall collection. You can find it online, or at Macy’s stores in a pinch.

The world is your oyster, my friend! There are more and more places to shop that offer clothing in extended sizes – you just have to figure out what you’re looking for. I recommend you search this site for things you’re interested in, or browse the style and resources sections for some ideas.
