Designer Clothing - Big Brands for Large Men

Larger or taller men can sometimes face big challenges in the smart style stakes as a lot of clothes targeted at those with a bigger build tend to be extremely casual in nature. Jogging bottoms and tracksuit tops, though comfortable, aren't a great style fit for every occasion.

With this in mind, I've been looking at the offerings of Jacamo Menswear this week to try and hone in on pieces that tick the boxes of smart and stylish, yet stay suitable for men of all sizes.

One collection that stood out is the Penguin spring/summer range. Available in sizes up to a 5XL and in longer length options too, Penguin largely concentrate on polo shirts and chinos that are smart enough to pass the pub/club test while staying comfortable. Prices sit around the £50 to £70 mark, making their pieces slightly pricey but still realistic for designer gear. They also design boots and shoes to complement the street smart look.

Penguin clothes perfectly encapsulate the preppy sportswear look that's popular at the moment. The polo shirts and chinos have a touch of the American Ivy League style, but are grown up enough for men in their twenties and beyond to wear.

The brand itself does have its sporty connotations, though with a more gentlemanly nature. Penguin was started by American Abbot Penderson, who was a keen golfer. It's also a brand that has been favoured by some real male fashion icons in the past including Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood and Dean Martin - if it's good enough for Ol' Blue Eyes, I'm sure it's good enough for a pint down the pub, a trip to the shops and putting a few holes on the local golf

Look Cool on the Terraces with Luke 1977 Jackets

Luke 1977 is arguably the hottest mens casual brand name to have emerged out of England over the last 2 years - and their fantastic range of designer clothing designed for the working class English “lad” or “loveable rogue” has been immediately snapped up by football fans in their thousands across the UK. Luke 1977 jackets, hats and scarves are often adorned by fans on the terraces who are on the lookout for the perfect combination of casual style and practicality against the elements. Chief designer for Luke 1977 is Walsall’s own Luke Roper – a graduate of St Martin’s college of design - but who has remained very proud of his Black Country roots – a fact which is very much evident in his cool but often raw mens clothing designs. Luke 1977 polo shirts and jumpers are also popular for young men hanging at the local bar or pub as they offer up a simplistic casual style but with some great little attentions to detail – factors that have helped to make this independent brand name become so popular for fashion conscious young men in the UK.
