FAQs

What to wear when overweight?

There are lots of ways you can style yourself when you’re overweight, or just a big and tall individual within the normal BMI range. Plain, block colouring is a top choice from our brand but if you want a pattern, then choose vertical stripes rather than horizontal ones. Stretchy fabrics can improve your comfort when staying active and also reduce the appearance of being oversized. Opt for tops with a longer length and a Regular fit.

How to dress as a man with a large stomach?

It can be difficult to know what to wear when you’re a plus-size man with a large stomach, but rest assured you can find the perfect fit with our range. We offer a variety of fit styles so always go with a Relaxed fit so that it can skim comfortably over your body rather than clinging tightly to it. Opt for an elasticated waist for a flexible fit so that you can stand up, sit down, and walk comfortably. Also, try thin layers of insulation rather than bulky items, and avoid crossbody bags.

What size is considered plus-size for a man?

Plus-sizes for men in the UK start at XL and go up to 6X in our collection, with all the variations of 2X, 3X, 4X, and 5X in between. Columbia Sportswear® creates our plus-sized ranges with proportions in mind rather than just the length or width of the item of clothing. Larger sizes have different arm dimensions and can have wider shoulders too, as well as the measurements of the chest area and sleeve.

How many kg is considered plus-size?

Plus-size clothing is not determined by the weight of the person and it is not an accurate measurement of whether you need plus-size clothing. It is the shape of the body and the measurements of your waist, chest, or leg length that determine the clothing you need. Two people who are exactly the same weight may have completely different body shapes, so you should always check our sizing charts before buying plus-sized items.

What sizes of plus-size clothing do you go up to?

We know that men come in all shapes and sizes so our range of plus-size clothing has been designed to provide a range of options including for tall men who need the height but not the width. Our size availability for each piece of clothing differs, but in chino colour walking trousers and shorts we go up to 54 inch waists, and in jackets and T-shirts we go up to 6X, which is for a 63-65 inch chest with a 23-23.5 inch neck. You will even find our wide walking shoes for men go up to size 14.
