By Cox Howard

The reason for this is simple, clothing designers are making clothes for smaller people and the sizes on the labels reflect that change.

This runs rampant in women's clothing but has affected the men's clothing industry as well. It's already fairly evident that more stores are carrying sizes for big and tall men. If you keep reading you'll find out how to find the clothes you like and maybe some great deals, too.

There are so many options available for people who need big and tall clothing that figuring out what to wear can be a real challenge. If you're stuck on what choice to make, here are some tips to help you make your decision.

So try to find shirts that are made either of cotton, or some kind of blended fabric. The advantage here is these fabrics are more stiffer and will contain rather than show, plus they also breathe well.

If you can afford to do so, you could arrange to have some pieces tailor made to suit your own taste and budget. The can be an excellent way to put together a formal outfit that can be more difficult to buy in retail outlets.

For jackets, keep an eye out for those with single breasted lapels. You'll look like you're slimmer in a single breasted lapel jacket.
