When the weather heats up, many Big & Tall men face the same challenge: how to stay cool and comfortable without sacrificing style. The right clothing choices can make all the difference and with modern fabrics, smart tailoring, and built-in sun protection, you can look sharp no matter how high the temperature climbs.
1. Choose Breathable, Lightweight Fabrics
Heavy fabrics trap heat, making you uncomfortable in minutes. Instead, opt for lightweight cotton blends, linen, and performance fabrics designed for breathability. Brands like FX Fusion offer short-sleeve button-ups that are cotton that keep you cool without looking casual.
2. Go Light with Color
Lighter colors reflect sunlight, helping you stay cooler. Classic summer tones like soft blues, whites, and pale grays not only feel fresh but also flatter a Big & Tall frame.
3. Wear Clothing with SPF Protection
Protecting your skin from the sun is just as important as looking sharp. Tommy Bahama offers stylish shirts and shorts with built-in SPF — giving you both style and sun safety in one. It’s an easy way to avoid sunburn without carrying extra sunscreen for every outfit.
4. Perfect the Polo
A well-fitted polo shirt is a Big & Tall summer staple. Pair it with tailored shorts or lightweight chinos for a polished look that works for barbecues, casual Fridays, and weekend outings.
5. Keep Jackets Light and Layer Smart
If you need an extra layer for cooler evenings or a professional look, choose unlined blazers, overshirts, or light jackets made from breathable fabrics.
6. Accessorize for Comfort and Style
Complete your summer look with lightweight belts, breathable hats, and comfortable loafers or sneakers. The right accessories can elevate your outfit while keeping you comfortable.
