Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

The BoohooMan ~ Big & Tall

BoohooMan is the brain child of Boohoo.com and it’s revolutionising the menswear market by bringing afford and stylish clothing. The latest Boohooman collection caters to the big and tall gentleman in your life. For me that is a perfect description of my father, a man whose so hard to shop for and rarely find fashionable items in his size. It’s quite disheartening going shopping in one of your favourite stores only to realise they don’t stock your size. This recently happened to us when I took daddy shopping in Peterborough and we learnt H&M didn’t stock XXXL.


We did go to other shops like Primark and the like but no offence the plus size items well! What can I say, most plus size items are not designed as cute as the 4-12 clothing. It’s hard enough finding items for men that are stylish and of great quality without splashing.

Imagine how happy I was when Boohooman reached out to us for a collaboration for menswear. To make it even sweater a deal, Boohooman also caters to big and tall menswear with size XXXL. We quickly agreed and started picking items from our budget and definitely happy with the selection of menswear available.

BoohooMan ~ The Big & Tall Range

Dad is someone who somehow goes through T-shirts as much as he does socks like we always buying him socks. When we were asked to choose items from the big and tall range, I picked T-shirts first. I knew he needed at least 3 T-shirts that he can wear daily either at home or when running errands. I was truly impressed with the T-shirt options available and lots of colours to choose from. Normally with Dad he likes darker colours so I mixed it up for him for variety.

Next we thought the autumnal weather has been making itself quite known so why not something to keep him warm. We found a lovely bomber jacket in navy blue that would definitely keep him warm. When he tried on the bomber jacket his initial thoughts where, ‘is it for winter’. He said he found it quite warm which is lovely because he can pair it with the T-shirts and be done.

The Big and Tall range caters for XL – XXXXL sizes which I think it truly great as not many brands do. BoohooMan items are of great quality, are affordable and definitely stylish and inclusive. I am truly happy to find know that one of my favourite brands catering to a real gap in menswear.

If you’re looking for something stylish and affordable for the gentleman in your life, BoohooMan can help. At the moment they have an incredible 70% sale going on {correct as of time of posting this post}. Don’t miss out and make sure to grab that special item for the Big and Tall feller in your life.


Disclosure: We were given £65 store credit to spend in BoohooMan and share our thoughts on the range. All opinions shared are our own and not influenced by this collaboration.

As gender and sexual identity evolve, so does our understanding of masculinity. But while many think of the term as toxic, harmful, and dangerous, there's room for discussion on how masculinity can be positive. Centering mental health and emotional needs can seem counterintuitive to rigid masculine standards, but it's essential for everyone.Redefining Masculinity: The Role of Men’s Fashion Designers in Changing Perceptions

    It’s nice to know that there is now a brand for plus size men. They will no longer find it hard to buy clothes. The Boohooman’s products look stylish and make big men a lot more fashionable. Marcelo Pareja

    Does the cost of bigger sizes same to all the sizes? Because some clothing stores charges more on bigger sizes.

    I am so glad to hear that Boohoo is creating a good plus size range for men. You are right about Primark’s plus size range for men though definitely lacking.

    Love the idea of affordable AND stylish clothing! It seems you can only have one or the other and rarely if ever BOTH!

    Yeah that gap in menwear that you talked about is real and it exists for both extremes: the really short men and the really tall men. When I was a teen, I was really short and I had to continue to shop from the kids clothing – that was really embarrassing. Thank God that problem isn’t there now. I love it when brands are inclusive for all ranges 🙂

    I’ve never heard of this brand before but it sounds like a good brand. My brother-in-law is a big guy and it’s hard sometimes to shop for his size. I’m going to take a look.

    I have a friend who is tall and big. He always complains that it’s hard to buy clothes that fit him. I would definitely show him Boohooman with fashionable and masculine T-shirts that he loves the most. Thanks for your sharing.
