Dress for Success - Living XL

This weeks installment has more to do with everyday living and items to assist in getting dressed than it does clothing. Living XL is the brain child of the people at Casual Male XL realizing that when it comes to some plus size men and women daily products such as hangers, umbrellas, lawn furniture and medical supplies are hard to come by and expensive in stores that do not cater to larger individuals.

Living XL does a good job of carrying a wide range of products at competitive prices. The two areas that are most important to me are the bath and travel sections. I have heard far to many times especially with women not being able to find bath towels or robes that fit properly. In the case of robes many women resort to shopping in the mens section of a department store to find their size.

In the travel section items such as seat belt extenders and the portable health profile kit which allows you to store important medical information in a digital format while traveling. The majority of the items listed on Living XL are common sense products to fit any lifestyle regardless of the circumstances. Being new there are not a lot of items listed in each category, but I expect that to change in the near future.

A unique feature that is available to customers of the Living XL website is customers can submit products ideas. I think that this will probably end up being one of the most valuable tools on the entire website. While shopping if you don’t see a product listed send an email to the company. Overtime that will ensure that Living XL is a company that values customer feedback.
