Resort Must Haves for Tall Women & Men

Written by Tiffany:

With each week that passes, we get closer and closer to the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring. It seems that just after Christmas, retailers are breaking out the Spring lines. I have mixed feelings about this time of year. On one hand I’m excited to see the new styles, bright colors, and warm weather essentials. On the other hand it’s a bit depressing to see those styles hit stores in February knowing I won’t be able to wear them for several months (or maybe even June- I do live in New Hampshire after all!). That said, my love of fashion and shopping overwhelms all other emotions. :)

For these reasons and others (February school vacation and/or Spring break), now is a prime time to take a vacation. Many families choose this time of year to get away to a warmer climate. It’s the perfect time because it can serve as a bridge to get over the hump of winter and carry us toward Spring and Summer. To that end, I’d love to highlight some resort wear for us tall guys and gals.

Resort Wear Must Haves For Her:

1. A beachy dress is essential. You’ll want something casual that you can throw on over a swimsuit but nice enough that you can go from the beach to a dining area in a jiffy.

2. Lightweight jacket. A denim jacket is perfect and classic. Although your destination may be warm, getting there may not be. And you might have to deal with frigid AC temps when indoors.
I love that this one comes in classic denim and white.

3. Cute hat. This one isn’t big enough to protect your shoulders from sunburn, but it will protect your scalp and nose. And it’s SO cute that it’s worth slathering on the extra SPF.

4. Scarf. I always wear or carry a scarf with me when I travel. They are so useful. It helps keep you warm on the plane, can double as a little blankie or shawl, and just makes any outfit look more chic. The Caribbean blue color of this particular scarf makes it a winning choice for a winter getaway.

5. Sandals. Duh right? I included this because it’s so tempting to bring tons of shoes but if you choose carefully you can get away with 3 pairs of shoes. In this case, I chose a gladiator style in a neutral shade and print (Yes, animal print is a neutral!). These go with white, black, tan, or bright colors and they are perfect for dressing up or down.

6. Tote . I was tempted to go for the obvious choice here: a straw beach tote. That would be a safe choice. But why not choose a bolder, canvas option that will pop with any outfit?!

7. Swimsuit--But not any ‘ol swimsuit. This one is a gorgeous shade of red (sexy), one piece (functional), and of course comes in long torso.

I had to stop myself here...but I could have easily added another 5 or 6 items. I feel a “Resort Wear Must Haves Part II” coming on! Stay tuned… :)

Resort Wear Must Haves For Him:

1. Dressy shorts. This is kind of the equivalent to the beachy dress. You could wear these to dinner but they’d be appropriate for strolling along the beach as well.

2. Swim trunks. It’s not easy to find “tall” swim trunks. These are a classic pair. They are a little more grown up then the oodles of hibiscus pairs we’re seeing, but a little more fun than plain board shorts.

3. Golf Shirt. If you’re anything like my husband, vacation isn’t vacation until you’ve squeezed in some golf time. This one is only $33, and comes in tall sizes and 8 colors.

4. Backpack. I’m a big fan of the murse (man purse, although I guess it could easily be mistaken for male nurse. I’ll have to work on my made up words). But most men aren’t hearing it. In your everyday life you can get away with shoving tons of stuff into your wallet and pockets but on vacation you have to have something more substantial. This one is perfect for sightseeing and excursions….assuming you can tear yourself away from lazy days on the beach!

5. Sandals. Real leather is comfortable but also more stylish than your typical rubber flip flops. You could totally wear these with chinos or khakis to dress them up.

6. Sunglasses. I’ll admit it’s hard to pick male clothing because it tends to be so basic. I had to add a fun accessory and this one is also clearly a necessity! I love the aviator shape; they look cool without looking like you’re trying too hard.

Tall Man of The Day - Tim Tebow

Can we get enough of Tebow? As Dever Broncos fans my family says "NO!"  We love him!
So we're calling Tim Tebow our Tall Man of the Day!

Source: fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net via Tall on Pinterest

According to Wikipedia Tebow is 6'3" tall. Lately we've learned a few things about him that we didn't know.

• He was born in the Phillippines to American parents who were serving as Baptist missionaries.
• Tebow was home schooled.
• In high school Tebow played for a team that ran more than they passed the ball, so he moved to an apartment to be able to attend a high school where he could show off his quarterback skills. This was a controversial move.
• During high school he spent his Summers in the Philippines helping in his father's orphanage and doing missionary work
• Tebow was the first home-schooling athlete to be nominated for the Heisman award.
• Before each Bronco game Tebow visits with a handicapped or sickened child or someone that has had a hard life. We love that he's so humble and personable!

Below my boys are "Tebowing" and as fans we must say "Go Broncos!"

Men's Tall Sized Long Underwear - Product Review

My husband is working outside and the mornings are extra cold here in Colorado. He has to wear long underwear to stay warm. He came to me asking for help in finding some new tall sized long underwear as the style he was wearing was really tight and uncomfortable.
We ordered from Sierra Trading Post as their prices are excellent! The order was shipped via UPS and arrived in 2 days. Save 20% off your order at Sierra Trading Post with coupon code "ALVNOV2KX" during the dates of 11/4 - 12/1. Here is what we ordered:

Wickers Long Underwear Shirt - Midweight, Comfortrel®, Long Sleeve (For Tall Men) they are 2nds, but we couldn't find any problems with them. They feel quite soft.

Wickers Long Underwear Bottoms - Midweight, Comfortrel® (For Tall Men) Also 2nds, but again can't find a single blemish.

My husband is 6'3" and they fit him perfectly. I think the bottoms even look a bit long, but he was able to pull them up easily so they fit under his pants without bunching. He said, "These are the most comfortable pieces of long underwear I've ever worn. " He will be wearing them to work and on the ski slopes.

Men's Long Shorts with a 14" Inseam

There's good news for tall men everywhere! I have found another pair of men's long cargo shorts and this one has a 14" inseam length. Choose from five different colors in sizes 28"-48" waists. Thank you Old Navy.com for saving tall men from the dreaded "bird legs" look they get when wearing short shorts!

Tall Men: Please Wear Long Shorts!

I am on a quest to stop all tall men from wearing short shorts. Tom Selleck looked "hot" in his short shorts during Magnum P.I., but that was in the "80s". We have moved beyond that now. For tall men, anything shorter than a 10" inseam makes your legs look ridiculous. They exaggerate your leg length and make you have "bird legs". You need to keep everything in proportion including your shorts. Today I came across several pairs of Volcom longer length shorts for men with 11.5" -12.5" inseams.

Tall Men: What to Wear to Pop the Question

Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man! Put on this stunning outfit to propose and how could she dare turn you down? Dress up to propose and it will make a lifetime impression. Trust me, women really remember the details.

This men's tall single breasted blazer in navy is a great look and will be classic for any dressy occasion. Currently on sale for $109.99. I have found you a tall dress shirt with extra long sleeves that are as long as 39" long. On sale for $18.99. Here are a couple of nice looking extra long ties. I prefer the burgandy as it is more of a power color- it will really get her attention. On sale for $18.99. As far as pants go, tall, custom made khaki pants are your best bet as you can get them to fit inseams of up to 40" long as well as get them to fit your body type. This pair is wrinkle and stain-resistant. I recommend you make yours with plain front (pleats are outdouted). They are actually priced pretty well for a pair of custom made pants- only $50-$60. Don't forget some comfortable shoes and these Rockport Margins have gotten good reviews. $94

Men's Custom Tall Shirts

Where do tall men get customized tall shirts that fit? I recommend Lands' End men's custom clothing for a variety of reasons. I have discussed this in the past, but wanted to add a few more details I found out from their customer service department. Let me explain why they are one of the best choices for men's tall shirts.
The Lands' End Custom design your own shirt is easy to use. You can choose from solid shirts, or a variety of patterned tall shirts including stripes, plaids and checks. I counted 63 different patterned choices. You can choose from 12 different collars and neck sizes go up to size 20". Choose from 6 different sleeve styles with sleeves lengths up to 40" long. You will go through a series of questions describing your body shape as well as your muscle build. For you thin men, you might choose the tailored shirt option. If you want a long torso shirt, make sure you choose the option of long torso body/with short legs, even though most of you are probably evenly proportioned. These men's custom made shirts start at $59. That is really affordable for a tall customized shirt. If you order a custom shirt and it doesn't fit you, the good news is, that you can return it and if you need to make some adjustments to the fit, they have a more detailed form that will allow you to customize it a bit more.

Men's Tall Hiking Pants - Tall Convertible Pants

I am excited to have found these men's tall convertible pants in a 36" inseam length. These have lots of great features. Some of my favorite are that they are made of a quick drying nylon, the fabric has UPF 50+ sun protection, nice cargo pockets for holding extra gear. The lower-leg side-seam zippers allow easy on/off over footwear. When you get hot, zip off the lower part of your legs and these are great shorts. They have also received fabulous reviews from many tall men. These men's tall convertible pants (item 746911) are available in green or khaki in sizes MT-2XLT for $55.

Men's Tall Cargo Shorts

My husband loves cargo shorts and he wears them almost every day in the summer. Longer length shorts will always look better on tall men. Here is a nice pair of men's tall cargo shorts in either cotton or denim. These could easily become your most comfortable pair of shorts. $29.99-$32.99 Save $10 when you buy 2 pairs.

There are more tall shorts for men here.

Men's Tall Wind Pant in 37" Inseam

Tall men, you've asked and so I've been on a quest for tall wind pants. This men's tall wind pant (item #46535) has a back-elastic waist, zip front with velcro waist closure, quarter-top side pockets and right rear inset pocket. The 37 inch inseam hemmed bottoms have side-sip opening for easy on and off. They are made of 100% polyester microfiber.

Where to Find Men's Tall Clothing

By Krista Mayne

Is it possible to wear stylish clothing when you are tall? Does that mean that you are stuck with wearing only one type of jeans - namely western? Well, over the last few years, the men’s tall clothing department has expanded greatly and retailers are finally catering to this market. Many stylish name brands such as Ralph Lauren, Polo, and Tommy Bahama have added a huge assortment of men’s tall clothing. So where does one find tall clothing?

1. The first option is tall specialty catalogs. There are many big and tall men’s catalogs on the market now.

2. Some finer department stores now have special big and tall departments. These are usually found somewhere towards the back of the stores, often in a corner. Although they are hard to find, they are worth the trip.

3. The Internet is exploding with men’s tall clothing in tall niche-type stores. Everything you could possible need is available online- whether it be men’s casual tall clothing to men’s designer tall clothing.

4. Custom tall clothing stores are a great option- as you can get clothing to fit your exact measurements. The Internet has custom men’s tall clothing in jeans, chinos, dress shirts, casual shirts and suits. You may also visit a local tailor to have custom clothing made for you.
