eet sticking out the end of the bed, incessant ‘how’s

the weather up there’ jokes, and forking out for the emergency exit seat on the plane – tall men have a never-ending list of problems. But the most annoying issue? Finding clothes that actually fit, as for men 6ft 3in and over, a new pair of trousers can look like they’ve been rolled up ready for the tide to come in.

Peter Crouch,

professional footballer and really, really tall man, has found salvation in Ted Baker’s new T For Tall collection, designed for guys 6ft 3in and over. It offers everything from suits and shirts to chinos and polo tops.

“Over the years it’s been

really difficult. With shirts, I’ve always had to roll up the sleeves,” explains Crouchy. “But with this Ted Baker range I’ve been able to get sorted with suits, trousers and jeans. To get something at a reasonable price suits me down to the ground... It’s quite emotional for me.”

As well as offering

properly constructed garments for the taller gentleman, Ted Baker’s suiting has a range of other useful design features. For example, its Performance suit is crafted from super 100 fabric, with a subtle natural stretch that helps prevent creases and a breathable composition that’s water-repellent and stain-resistant. If that doesn’t excite the busy commuter in you, maybe the suit carrier that conveniently transforms into a backpack – ideal for stylish cyclists and office runners – will.

TAILORING TIPS

What to add (and what to steer clear of) when suiting up

DO: LAYER UPAdding a waistcoat or

gilet underneath your blazer adds an extra dimension to your look and balances your frame.

DON’T: WEAR STRIPESAvoid statement

pinstripes – the vertical detailing will only emphasise and elongate your body.

DO: WEAR A BELTSome don’t like wearing belts

with a suit, but for taller gents it adds interest and breaks up the outfit.
