“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 love this place!”
“Great and respectful service. Ended up harassed by a teen and one of the workers immediately came to help me out. Alex and Ari were in and helped me with picking out my purchase as well. Friendly and welcoming. Thank you guys!”

Even though a lot of pieces of my closing were broken or missing some elements when a couple months passed when I bought it , I mean the story is still good and it’s clothing too , even considering the fact that quality is not that good no more”

700 N Milwaukee Ave Ste 112, Vernon Hills“Walked in today to expand my wardrobe for a new role in my internship and Sam helped me throughout the process. He was able to answer all of my questions and even gave some great advice along the way. I couldn’t find a survey for his service but if there was one he would get 10s across the board. Not only did Sam help me immensely but we had a great conversation throughout my time in the store. Sam you’re the man and I hope that everyone that walks in the store gets a chance I be helped by you!”
“I have avoided this store for a long time because it used to be such a disorganized mess. But I went in for an Amazon return and was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was tidy, the employees were pleasant and merchandise was organized and easy to find. Julia in the Sephora section was especially helpful. My only problem was that there was only a limited selection of clothes in my size. Overall, a positive experience!”
