Wearing Kids Clothing? $943 Brooks Brothers Haul (Kids Section)

About this video

McGoff explores shopping in the boys department at Brooks Brothers to find better-fitting clothes for shorter men. He tries on approximately $943 worth of items from the brand’s young men’s section, evaluating the fit of various pieces including outerwear, dress shirts, trousers, and casual wear to determine whether the brand is a viable option for men with below-average height and smaller builds.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that fit is the most important aspect of style, and shopping in kids or boys sections can be a legitimate solution for shorter men when mainstream retailers fail to serve their needs
• McGoff recommends shopping online rather than in-store to avoid potential awkwardness when purchasing from children’s departments
• McGoff found that Brooks Brothers young men’s section was largely oversized for his 5'6", 120-pound frame, with only the dress shirt coming close to fitting properly, suggesting the brand may work better for those with larger builds
