I was very happy to be asked to take part in this campaign and I chose some clothes that I think reflects my normal style which is quite laid back and relaxed. Although I also chose something I usually wouldn't have gone for and ended up really liking.

The struggle is real for finding good and well sized plus size clothing. Not just for women, but also for men. It's always so much talk about female plus size fashion. It's in media about female plus size models walking catwalks at big fashion weeks, plus size bloggers are taking over the internet and it's great to see so much representation of diversity among women. But plus size men are not so much talked about or putting themselves out there. Why is this? Does plus size men care less about what they wear and settle for baggy sweatpants and oversized t-shirts? I don't think so. I think a lot of plus size men likes looking their best and dressing up so I'm expressing my support for plus size men out there. We love you and we would love to see more of you do your own blog, be more visible on social media and so on.

My husband is a plus size man, although on the smaller side of plus so he can freely buy clothes in most shops without having to compromise. But not everyone is that lucky. So when I came across this website that are selling suits and more smart and formal wear in sizes up to a chest size 60" I thought I would share it with you cause that is amazing. I'm so glad that bigger men have the option to buy smart and well fitting suits for work, parties or even weddings. The shop is called Suitsmen and they have 40 different styles up to a chest size 54" and 20 styles up to a size 60" so it's a wide range of suits as well as a wide range of sizes.






How gorgeous aren't these suits and tuxedos? They are crafted in luxurious fabrics and comes in different colours. There are so many lovely suits so whatever the occasion and your personal style I'm sure you'll find something that will take your fancy.

The pockets are nice and roomy. And as in the photo below you can see that the back pockets are situated fairly low, but that is not a problem as I don't put anything in my back pockets.




I've had worn them for a couple of weeks now and they have been washed a few times with no fading. They keep their shape. No need for ironing, a quick tumble drying get the creases out, and are a great buy if you look for jeans you can wear for many different occasions.

I will be back in a few days with another jeans review so if you liked this review why not leave me a comment below.

See you later, Mike :)

It's not just plus size women who can have a struggle finding trendy and great fitting clothes. I have a husband who is plus size and it's not always easy to find great clothes for him. This despite him being on the very small side of plus size for men. I think I speak for most men when I say that one thing that they can't live without is a good pair of jeans.The classic Denim Dilemma. Men just like us women are facing the trouble with ill fitting jeans, jeans that aren't the right length, the right shape or if you find that pair of jeans that really do fit perfectly then of course you discover a big hole in them and you can't find the exact pair again.

Jacamo have two really good guides on their blog recently on How to get over the jeans that you loved which is a really good read and also the guide How to find "The One". These gives you a good in-depth guide on what to look for if you're looking for a new pair of jeans. And they give some really good advice.

I had a talk with my husband and asked him what he find most important when he choses a pair of jeans and what qualities they must have to become that special pair of jeans that he hangs on to for as long as possible, and here is what he said.

"When I go out to buy a new pair of jeans I look for some good quality denim and of course I have to like the look of them. I tend to go for the same style all the time as I know what fits and works best for my needs. I have a relaxed style and I'm not very focused on trend. Comfort is key for me when I chose jeans as I wear them almost every day. I try them on and if they fit well then I spend my money.



When I find a good pair of jeans that I wear a lot, it's most probably because they have become more comfortable the more I've worn them. Cause I really like jeans that you kind of "wear in". I don't mind it if they fade a bit after a few washes as I generally think they look better after they have faded. I tend to have 3 pairs of jeans that I like a lot and I rotate them till one of them wears out and I have to replace with a new pair. I don't find it particularly hard to part with them if they are worn out as I've got so much use out of them and it's time for something new. "

I think that men and women have some of the same challenges when it comes to chosing a pair of jeans so I would love to hear what is your best tip to buying that great pair of jeans that everyone is looking for?

Hello everyone.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing my lovely husband reviewing some clothes on my blog. Yours Clothing has recently introduced their first men's plus size clothing range which is amazing news as plus size men doesn't have many places to shop either. Maybe men aren't as interested in fashion and shopping as us women, I still think that most men like to look their best. And if you are a plus size man, there isn't too much of a choice, so I want to give Yours Clothing's mens range a big warm welcome.

I was asked by the lovely people at Yours Clothing if Mike and I wanted to do a his and hers shoot with some of the clothes from the men's range and some from the new spring collection for women. We got pretty excited when we were asked as we thought it would be so much fun doing this together.

And we were right, it turned out to be such a fun experience and I have to admit I think the photos turned out really really well too (apart from when you use self timer and tripod there is no one to tell me that my shrug had ridden up, but it adds a bit of fun and the photos are so real and spontanious).









Don't we look good? We have done two different styles to show a bit of versatility in the clothes so I hope you enjoy this review.

First Mike's review.

When Mookie mentioned it to me about the possibility to do a shoot I was thrilled to be asked. I normally stay on the other side of the camera so it was nice a brand new experience for me, but a fun one.

I had picked this Green, White And Black Plaid Shirt With Patch Pocket* and a MIGHTY Grey 5-pocket Classic fit Trousers* as I liked the style of the shirt and I thought they went really well with the jean style trousers. I didn't want anything too formal as I feel more comfortable with a relaxed look.



The shirt is really good quality material and soft to the touch. Looks really well made and think it will last me for years. I like the colours in this shirt which complemented the grey colour from the trousers. However the sizing of this shirt is very big. I first ordered 2XL as this size normally fits me best, but it was really big when it arrived so I exchanged it for an XL size. This was also a bit on the big side, but it wasn't too big and I was happy the way it looked on me. I can see myself wearing this shirt open with a plain t-shirt under too. It is such a comfortable shirt to wear and I'm sure I will be wearing it many more times to come.



The trousers which I would call jeans as they are a 5 pocket style and flat fronted fitted perfectly in my normal waist size 38" so no oversize here. As they fitted so well they are very comfortable and had a bit of stretch in them, but not so much that they lose their shape. Great dark grey colour and they have a stripy texture which becomes more apparent the closer you look.

I finished the look off with some black leather slip on shoes from Padders that I have had for some time.
