Where to buy good clothes for 175cm men?
Hear me out. Wether i enter Peek&Cloppenburg stores or buy from Zalando/Otto/Ansons/etc., clothing is always sized for tall people. It's sized so long that it looks bad even on tall people.
Myself i'm 175cm, but when i look at my german friends who are 180-190cm, their clothing, be it white shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets... looks sloppy on them. Clothing length ends at below crotch level and there is always built up of arm sleeve at elbow level.
Buying online is a complete nightmare for a guy of my height. I send back 90% of stuff that I buy because it's simply too long. I realised recently that some Zalando articles (the articles that have a photo with a model wearing the clothing) have a description in the form of:
Our model is 189 cm tall and is wearing size M
I find it cool as it helps to orientate if the clothing will fit you, HOWEVER, I've never found an article descriptions which says - Our model is 175 cm tall... or even shorter...
- Whichever store with good clothing that I enter (P&C, sOliver, Boss, Esprit, etc.), 50% of times the store is out of M and L sizes for the stuff that i want to buy.
I dont want to discuss in this post the reasoning behind all of this (like that germans are tall and thats why the clothing is sewed for tall stature, or as if its economically unprofitable for companies to manufacture clothes for shorties like me). I just want to make awareness of the existing problem that affects me and my shopping experience. Maybe someone knows of a shop that sells good clothing (business, casual and sports) that fit well people of 175cm height and sizes M/L. Thank you in advance!
