I am a bigger guy. However, I really don't care about all the crazy fashion that crops up every season. I just want nice looking jeans, button down shirts, and 1/2 zip and hoodie sweatshirts to fit right. For awhile, some stores had good clothing for plus size people. Kohl's carried a couple brands that were stylish and fit well, but then they stopped carrying them only to re-introduce those same brands with ill-fitting plus size options. Marshall Field's had a few items which became Macy's, and they had fewer still. The Winston Box, a monthly subscription mail order service boasts a way to find great options for any plus size and truthfully, they never sent items that fit well.
However, DXL (a.k.a. Destination XL) has always had options that work well with my body type. I'm a Polo fan and not a big fan or their house brand, Harbor Bay. With that being said, Harbor Bay's t-shirts and jackets are awesome and fit great.
DXL always has new options and brings in new brands that offer nice options such as Vineyard Vines, Psycho Bunny, Robert Graham, and more. Lately, I love the Lucky Brand jeans as they fit so well, and recently purchased the softest, most comfortable Vineyard Vines hoodie (actually, wearing both the hoodie and jeans right now).
Plus, DXL offers workout closes, casual clothes, dress clothes, suits, shoes, and accessories.
Lastly, the Vernon Hills location (close to me) has such a wonderful staff. Over the years, their staff has changed, but they are very friendly and always offer to help you find what you're looking for or are happy to remains hands off and let you do your own shopping. And they remember you whether you frequent them often or your visits are limited to a few times a year. I hardly visit any other store and if they don't have something in their store, they are happy to reach out to other locations to help you find your size and color you desire. I...
Read moreAbsolutely one of the worst stores I’ve ever been to. I’ve shopped with this company for countless years, and I’ve never had any problems. The manager at this location is rude, unhelpful and at one point started screaming, and yelling at me when I was trying to show him a receipt, the stores dirty it is hard to find things, and the staff is not interested whatsoever . I personally blame the store manager as he seems to set the tone for employees that are annoyed when customers ask questions or God for bid help find a size. Worst retail...
Read moreRude and unhelpful staff. Want to sell you and get you out. Sarcastic remarks to every question. Not funny. Rude. That was the guy. At then end I told the lady that I couldn't figure out the boxes. She didn't care. I told her this was a terrible experience....she ok thanks for coming..have a good day. She didn't apologize and ask to help. She was mean and again sarcastic like the guy. Someone should know. I am seriously considering returning all if it. Over $300. Terrible terrible employees. ...
