Good to meet you
Hi, My Names Izzy, and I started this blog for other tall men out there. I am by no means an NBA player, I am 6 foot 3, or 192cm, and if you are also this height or taller, you know it can be difficult to find clothes that fit you in a way you would like. But not just clothing, when you are taller than the average person, you have to cater your workouts based on your height, so you spend ages searching for workouts for tall people. Or you need a car that caters for your height, so looking for cars for tall people becomes an issue.
This soon cascades into all parts of your life and you end up with a specific choice of brand for each of your needs. When you are an average height of say 5’10 and under, most products are already catered to you and you never have to think about it as the industry for everything make products for the majority, and I do not think this is wrong, it just takes a little more effort for people like me to get the same. But try walking into a clothes shop and getting a size 13 pair of shoes, or a pair of jeans with a 36’ inseam.
This can be very frustrating, because I will walk into a shop that sells 100 different types of jeans, and not one of them with a leg long enough to reach my ankles, so I usually just get angry and walk out the shop in disbelief that I cannot find a single pair of trousers with a long enough inseam.
I don’t know how many other tall guys out there have the same problems that I have, but if I can save just a few of you the frustrations that I have been through my entire life by sharing some tips on how to navigate life as a taller person, then I will do my best and hope I can help out. I will share my preferred brands of clothing for taller people, workouts I have tailored to my height over the years, and even how I manage to get more leg room on flights as a taller person without having to pay extra. Along my journey, I have also learnt the best way to dress as a taller man as this was always an issue for me so I just would not dress nice and only wear what fit me.
As well as narrowing things down to the specifics of a tall person’s needs, I will discuss things I have learnt about fashion in general. I also really like watches, accessories like leather bracelets and a nice tie etc… but before I got to the point of really enjoying fashion and looking good, I had to get the basics of how to dress as a tall man, and I hope I can do the same for you as well.
