Shopping for clothes that fit hasn’t always been the easiest task for me, which is why I'm a shameless patron of men's clothing stores. I'm almost six feet tall, so buying pants that are long enough is a challenge—let’s just say I’ve been wearingMy shoulders are broad and my arms are long, so buying jackets that don’t make me look like a squished-up hot dog is its own special treat too. And, to complicate matters, I wear a size 11 shoe.
When I was a teenager, my height and frame were hard to deal with at times. I was embarrassed by it, often left thinking that I was somehow less feminine because I'm not petite or super slim. But over the years I've grown into myself, and along the way I've discovered one simple style trick that makes being tall—with broad shoulders and size 10 in clothing—a hell of a lot easier: I voraciously shop men's clothing stores.
It started naturally enough: Most people steal clothes from their mom; I steal clothes from my stepdad including—but not limited to—his button-down shirts , an old tuxedo jacket that I wear with just about everything I own , and a brown felt fedora he used to wear to work in the 1980s .Zara
