As a men’s stylist, I’ve worked with clients of all shapes and sizes, including guys who tower at 6’5″. Finding clothes that fit well can be a real challenge for tall men, especially when it comes to shirts. Sleeves are often too short, shirt lengths don’t hit right, and the overall fit can be baggy. Unfortunately, “big & tall” always get clumped together, but what if you are just tall?
To help you navigate this sartorial challenge, I’ve compiled a list of my top 6 clothing brands for tall men:
- Faherty – Tall Collection (my favorite)

Lastly, check out Proper Cloth for custom shirting. I like their selection and they have 90 day returns.
Remember these key fit rules:
- Shirt hems should hit mid-zipper on your pants
- Sleeve cuffs should meet where your wrist and hand join
- If you have a shirt you love, but the sleeves are too short, just roll up the sleeves
With these brands and tips, you’ll be well on your way to a wardrobe that fits and flatters your tall frame.
