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.

We’ve put together a list of the brands leading in the innovation and development of inclusive fashion that will keep you looking confident and cool.

Bonobos

Bonobos built its reputation on great pants, and now offers men great everything. Its extended sizes cover elevated and well-made pants, jeans, shirts, swimsuits, sweaters and even suiting up to sizes 4XL.

Duke

Duke was founded in Nottingham, England in 1985 and remains a family-owned and run company to this day. We love that it refers to its larger sizing as “King” and “Super King,” and offers a complete range of larger sizes up to 8XL and 3XLT in tops, 70-inch bottoms, and 15-inch footwear.

Farah

Farah got its roots in 1920s London and was first inspired by subcultures in the underground scene. Today, the brand references its heritage in traditional pieces like smart button-ups and oxfords ranging in sizes up to 4XL.

Jack & Jones

Contemporary British brand Jack & Jones offers fashion-forward pieces without the hefty price tag. Its plus-size line boasts a range of good-looking denim, blazers, organic cotton tees, and accessories.

Levi’s Big & Tall

Known for its legendary status when it comes to denim, Levi’s has been a step ahead when it comes to inclusive sizing. Its Big & Tall line will have you covered through with the iconic 501 jeans or trucker jackets up to a 66 waist and 6XL.

Only & Sons

Contemporary line Only & Sons is rooted in Scandinavian culture and modernism. Its plus-size items offer a stylish range of tees, sweaters, tops, trousers, and outerwear, up to size 6XL.

Puma Plus

The German sportswear brand recently launched Puma Plus, a line focusing on big and tall performance clothing, activewear, and streetwear. It offers a colorful range of athletic basics like hoodies and sweatpants up to 5XLT.

River Island Big & Tall

Coming from British e-commerce retailer ASOS, River Island is expectedly on trend and its big and tall collections do not disappoint. River Island offers more fashion-forward pieces like tapered cargo pants and pique polo shirts at a great price. 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.

Tommy Hilfiger

Sure, it’s great that a ton of brands are offering leisure pieces, but what about more put together styles? Tommy Hilfiger has invested in developing a range of handsome wardrobe essentials in larger sizes. Look for the brand’s Big & Tall performance jackets and crafted leather belts that are not to be missed.

Stitch Fix

If you’ve not yet tried curated clothing, this is the place for stylish clothes for big guys. 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!

Your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner self-image. It may sound shallow, but our society judges books by their cover. When you first meet someone, either on the street or in a professional setting, they make up their mind about you in the first few minutes. That means you need to build a wardrobe that expresses all you are and all you can bring to the table. With that in mind, men's fashion has some must-haves to help you make a great first impression.

If you’re in the market for an accessory that instantly makes you appear more intelligent, more sophisticated, and even stylish, look no further than a solid pair of eyeglasses. Whether you’re channeling an unsuspectingly dashing Clark Kent or a more eccentric Harry Styles, optical lenses have the sartorial power to affect the way you see the world and the way the world sees you. While most of us who wear prescription glasses every day limit ourselves to whatever is carried in the office of our optometrist, there are dozens of places you can go to update your style and see as well as you are seen. We’ve seen eyeglasses from eyewear institutions like Ray-Ban, Persol, and Moscot all the way to fashion’s top tastemakers like Tom Ford and Gucci take the lead in men's glasses.

Blue Light vs. eyeglasses
No need for traditional optical frames? As our day-to-day shifts to a primarily digital interface, blue-light-blocking glasses are rising. More screen time and more strain on your eyes can cause eye strain, headaches, and even disrupt sleep patterns. Your optometrist may suggest investing in a pair to improve eye comfort and achieve better sleep. The truth is our favorite devices can cause migraines, dry eyes, and eye strain and lower the hormone production that makes it easier to sleep. While eyeglasses help you see better and will avoid eye strain, blue light glasses filter out harmful rays. So, even if you have 20/20 vision, this list is for you.
