You can get Air Jordan 8s a free measuring tape from Indochino if you curious. Have someone help you so you know for future reference. It will come in handy. I spent most of my high Nike LeBron 11 school and college days buying XL clothes because they were long enough. Well guess what? It made me look pretty oafish and a lot taller than I already am. They may have been longer but they were always about eight inches too wide. Do. Not. Settle.

Fit over fashion. Jordan Winterized 6 Rings Being tall, I never had the luxury of wearing the most fashionable pieces of clothing. I have never been able to fit into anything from H Zara, or Uniqlo. They offer great basics but for smaller Air Jordan 17s people. Instead of focusing on fashion, you want to prioritize fit. It balance out and you look great.

Tailored Fit Slim Fit are your friend. There are a plethora of options out there with tailored or slim fit. If they aren available, getting your clothes tailored is always an option too. From my perspective, there is an increasing market for the tall and slim demographic so I think we will continue to see these trends going into the future.

Avoid baggy clothes. Looking back on pictures of myself, I cringe when I see the bootcut jeans I always wore or the oversized dress shirts. There are plenty of options out there in slim or straight cut. You don need to sacrifice the width and for a long length.

Cuffing jeans. This is one area where we can get away with one thing shorter men cannot. Cuffing your pants or jeans (if you so inclined) helps create the illusion of a slightly shorter leg. Feel free to use this to your advantage if you comfortable with it.

Horizontal lines are also your friend. Some people tend to avoid vertical lines/stripes if you taller since it creates the illusion that you taller than you actually are. Horizontal lines combat this and help even it out.

Sleeve length. This falls under the category of not settling. There are plenty of options out there that are slim and long in the body, and long enough in the sleeves you just need to look and know your measurements. Make to order shirts are also an option. Although it run you a little Air Jordan 2011 more, it may be worth it if you spending all day in dress shirts.

Do NOT dry your clothes. Unless you absolutely positive that your clothes will not shrink, do not dry your clothes. I hang dry EVERYTHING. Yes, it is a hassle, but drying will likely cause most of the brands below to shrink.

Sifr Beanstalk T: This is my go to tall t shirt. The Beanstalk offers a 3″ increase and is plenty long for my 6 torso. I usually wear a medium tall for slim fit but recommend sizing up one (to a large in my case) for these. Construction, fit, and fabric are all fantastic and well worth the money. $31 (Online Only)

Gap: Basically the same as Old Navy options. Material feels slightly better and the price point is close to Gap when discounted. $14 $17 (Online Only)

: Continuing the trend, Banana has quite a few options as well. They offer the “Soft Wash” t shirt which I have found to be significantly more thin than the Gap or Old Navy t shirt. If I have a coupon, I usually go for Gap. $24.50 (Online Only)

: This is one of PacSun house brands. The t shirts have a pretty good quality and the body is quite long. Most of the patterns are pretty offensive in terms of fashion, but they usually have a solid selection of non branded solid/stripe shirts. You can often find these back on the sale racks for $5. Large fits quite nice off the rack. They have BOGO promotions for these fairly regularly. $12.99 $22.50

J. Crew: Probably the nicest of the selection but obviously the most expensive. Nice and long body and generally fairly slim fitting. The downside to J. Crew is they upcharge for tall sizes. $28.50 (Online Only)

J. Crew: Has quite a few sweater options and generally leans towards the slim body type. My favorite is the Cotton Cashmere V Neck. $29 $83 (Online Only)

: Offers some nice sweaters in a surprisingly slim fit body. The arms are long and the body is trim. My favorite is the Lambswool Sweater. $59 $84 (Online Only)
