If you’ve been anywhere near a radio in the past few years, chances are you’ve heard Lizzo’s upbeat anthems focusing on body diversity and positivity, and it’s not just for the ladies. The same agency that represents most Victoria’s Secret models launched Brawn, its division of plus-size male models including breakout star Zach Miko. We’re increasingly seeing bigger and taller male role models kill it in Fenty by Rihanna shows and on our Instagram feeds. Thankfully, brands are catering to the more-to-love community, too, with tons of stylish clothes for big guys.

Today’s consumer is more fashion and societally conscious, and consequently more demanding than ever before. There has never been a better time to shop for men’s clothing online than right now.

It is worth mentioning that ASOS has a top-notch curation of larger brands from all over the world.

Suitsupply

The Dutch suit maker changed the game by providing premium quality tailoring at an agreeable price point. If you’re looking to up your style game in a larger size range, Suitsupply’s impressive Italian fabric-based suiting comes in sizes up to 4XL for jackets, shirts, and trousers.

According to the site, you can find “sizes XS-3XL, 28-48-inch waists, 28-36-inch inseams, and shirts and blazers in tall sizes.” What’s great about this company is it will send you a box of clothes based on your pre-defined preferences and you can try them on in the comfort of your own home. Then, send back any that don’t work and as it learns your sizes and styles, the boxes will improve over time. It’s that easy!

Huckberry figured out the transition jacket with help from Relwen Clothing
Midwest ruggedness for every man

Getting yourself a good coat is the perfect way to spend the winter cozied up and protected from the cold. Getting yourself the right fabrics in the summer is the best way to keep yourself cool and your clothing breathable during the sweltering summer. But what about the months in between? Fall and spring are notorious for their cold mornings and warm afternoons. The rise from coat weather to sweaty weather means you have a dire need for a transition wardrobe, and in particular, a great light jacket. Huckberry is one of our favorite brands for the rugged masculine aesthetic, and they figured out how the transition jacket should be with the help of Relwen outerwear.
Relwin sends the message for us to "be lasting"

They got their start in the open fields of the Midwest and still call Columbus, Ohio, their home today. The fields, agricultural farms, and hard-working spirit of America’s heartland give Relwen their motto, “Be lasting.” Like any farm equipment you look at today, there is a purposeful mix between the old ways of doing things and technological innovation. For Relwen, heritage isn't forgotten or sacrificed for the sake of tomorrow's fashion. Instead, it is weaved into classics like canvas jackets, quilted coats, and waxed blazers to give their entire collection a lived-in and worked-in feel. If you need a light jacket, the standout of this collection is the Quilted Insulator Tanker Jacket. And if you need something lower profile, the Heritage Trap Blazer would be your go-to all season long.
