Best Big And Tall Shopping In Los Angeles

Angelenos are well known for being body and image conscious. Everybody like to look great, but not all of us are so easy to fit. It's frustrating that numerous designers seem to favor the Tom Cruises of the world, while forgetting those of us who more closely resemble John Goodman or Kareem Abdul Jabbar - or, as I like to refer to it, "normal height." Here's some spots where the rest of us can shop. - Jesse Zanger

Casual Male XL Outlet at Citadel Outlets

100 Citadel Drive, Sute #660
Commerce, CA 90040
(323) 838-6546
More Info

Casual Male XL focuses primarily on casual clothes for big & tall men (go figure). For those of us who are looking for name-brand clothes (like Levi's) in hard-to-find sizes, they are the right vendor. They also dip in to suit separates from makers like Geoffrey Beene and Ralph Lauren. The focus, though, remains on day-to-day casual wear, just like the name says. The outlet center is a good spot to find particularly low-priced deals - up to 50% off regular prices at specialty stores.
