Topper’s view is simple: clothes exist to fit you comfortably and make you look great. The right outfit is right there, especially if you turn to the experts in big and tall fitting. And that expertise is never more necessary than in the case of perfectly fitting pants.

Topper says: “In pursuit of pants perfection, don’t fixate on waistband or leg length exclusively. How your legs look all the way down matters too. So start at the top. It’s thigh time you considered how things are panning out above the knee.”

In the search for a pair of pants that look halfway decent, the average man will compromise on a thing or two. As a result, he may end up with pants that either hug his thighs too tight or flap around in the breeze. But why be average when you don't need to? When you select big and tall pants that are designed with the details that fit your proportions, whether you're tall, broad or both, you're able to feel comfortable - and look good - in your clothes.

Here at Westport Big & Tall, we realize all measurements must be taken into consideration when you're searching for the ideal pants -- not just waist and inseam. Don't settle for pants that don't fit the thighs properly just because they're long enough and wide enough. Here are a few problems you should avoid, along with Topper’s invaluable insights.
