Where can you buy an ugly Christmas suit in big and tall sizes?

Which ugly Christmas suit brands make big and tall sizes?

Four party-suit brands make Christmas suits well past XL: Shinesty, Suitmeister, Tipsy Elves and OppoSuits. Their biggest sizes land in very different places, so match your own chest and waist to each brand’s chart rather than trusting the size label.

A little about who’s who: OppoSuits was founded in 2012 by three friends from the Netherlands, and Suitmeister is its budget line — Suitmeister’s own site calls it a registered trademark of Oppo Merchandise Group. Shinesty is the Colorado company that Fox Business reported sold out of ugly Christmas suits in 2014, and Tipsy Elves is the San Diego brand from Shark Tank (more in our ugly sweater brand comparison).

Which brand makes the biggest ugly Christmas suit?

Shinesty makes the biggest ugly Christmas suit of the four. On Shinesty’s own size chart, jacket 58 fits a 56-60 inch chest and jacket 60 a 60-64 inch chest, with a 38.125-inch sleeve; pants 50/36 fit a 53-56 inch waist. Of Shinesty’s 30 men’s Christmas blazers on November 12, 2026, 23 listed size 60, 5 stopped at 56 and 2 at 54, and 22 of its 29 Christmas suit pants went up to a 50. Shinesty sells the blazer and pants separately, so you can pair a jacket 60 with whatever pants size fits your waist.

Does Tipsy Elves make a big and tall Christmas suit?

Tipsy Elves lists two pieces with “Big and Tall” in the name — the Men’s Tangle Wrangler Big and Tall Blazer w/ Tie in sizes 44-52 and the Furry Santa Big and Tall Suit Pants in size 40 — but both were sold out in every size on November 12, 2026. Its regular Christmas blazers run 36-52, and on Tipsy Elves’ size charts a 52 (5XL) fits a 54-56 inch chest. None of its 15 Christmas blazers that list a 52 had one in stock that day; 7 had a 50 (chest 50-52 inches). Tipsy Elves’ suit pants stop at size 40, a 39.5-inch waist with a 34-inch inseam.

How big do OppoSuits and Suitmeister suits go?

OppoSuits goes to US 52, and Suitmeister to 2XL. OppoSuits’ chart puts US 52 (3XL) at a 48-inch chest, a 43.25-inch waist and a 47.25-inch hip, for heights of 6’1” to 6’9”, and all 15 of its men’s Christmas suits list US 52; each comes as jacket, trousers and tie. Suitmeister’s chart puts 2XL at a 55-inch chest, a 45-inch waist and a 35-inch inseam, and all 18 of its men’s Christmas suits list 2XL. OppoSuits sums up the idea nicely: Ugly Christmas sweaters get retired every January. A suit with the same festive energy does not have to.

What size ugly Christmas suit should you get if you’re big and tall?

Measure your chest, waist and inseam, pick the jacket by your chest, and size up if you’re between two sizes — OppoSuits, Shinesty and Suitmeister all describe their suits as slim fit. Then use the path below to see which brands reach you.

• Chest up to 48 inches, waist up to 43 inches: every brand’s jackets fit. OppoSuits US 52 (3XL) is a 48-inch chest and a 43.25-inch waist.
• Chest 49-56 inches, waist up to 45 inches: Suitmeister 2XL (55-inch chest, 45-inch waist), a Tipsy Elves size 52 blazer (54-56 inch chest; its pants stop at a 39.5-inch waist) or a Shinesty jacket 52-56.
• Chest over 56 inches, or waist over 45 inches: Shinesty only — jacket 58 (56-60 inch chest), jacket 60 (60-64 inch chest) and pants 50 (53-56 inch waist).
• Tall: check the inseam table in the next section.

1. Chest: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, level under your arms (the way Shinesty and Tipsy Elves describe it).
2. Waist: measure where you wear your pants — OppoSuits says about three finger-widths below your belly button.
3. Inseam: measure from the crotch to the bottom of the hem on a pair of pants that fits you (Shinesty’s method).
4. Compare: line your numbers up with that brand’s own chart, not another brand’s.

Shinesty’s size chart says it plainly: All of our suits are considered slim fit, so if you’re packing more of a keg than a 6 pack, or you look similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger, consider sizing up. Tipsy Elves says its suits and blazers fit true to size, and to size up if you’re between sizes. Measuring for a sweater instead? Our plus-size ugly sweater guide lines up the 4X to 6X charts.

What if your chest and your waist are different suit sizes?

Buy the jacket by your chest, then sort out the pants. OppoSuits says If your chest measurement falls into a different size category than your waist, we recommend following the chest size, and that a tailor can take the trousers in or let them out by up to two sizes at the waist. Shinesty and Tipsy Elves sell the Christmas blazer and the pants as separate items, so you can buy two different sizes. Suitmeister’s light-up suit pants have elastic stretch in the waist.

Can you get a tall ugly Christmas suit with a longer inseam?

Yes: Shinesty and Suitmeister both list a 35-inch inseam in their bigger sizes, and Shinesty’s pants have 1.5 inches of extra hem a tailor can let down. Here’s every inseam the brands publish:

If your inseam is longer than any of these, a simple fix is to wear the Christmas jacket with plain dark trousers in your own length — the jacket does most of the talking anyway. Sleeves grow with the size too: Shinesty’s run from 33.625 inches on a jacket 36 to 38.125 inches on a jacket 60.

Is there a light-up ugly Christmas suit in big and tall sizes?

Yes, up to a 55-inch chest: Suitmeister’s Christmas Red Icons and Christmas Green Tree come as light-up suits and light-up blazers in S-2XL, and Tipsy Elves’ Men’s Midnight Garland Light Up Blazer lists sizes 36-52, though only its 40, 42 and 44 were in stock on November 12, 2026. Suitmeister’s light-up suit has Christmas lights inside that switch on and off, comes as jacket, pants and tie, and says batteries are not included. OppoSuits and Shinesty had no light-up suits that day; Shinesty’s The Duke of December has Christmas lights printed on the fabric instead. You can also add a light-up Christmas tie to any suit.

How do you wash an ugly Christmas suit?

Follow the care line on that suit, because the four brands say very different things — from machine washable to dry clean only:

Honestly, there’s something wonderful about a size 60 jacket covered in candy canes. More suit means more festive print, and we fully support that math.

OppoSuits

Machine washable; iron at low temperature; do not tumble dry (Christmaster listing).

Suitmeister light-up suits

Do not wash the jacket; the pants are machine washable; iron at low temperature; do not tumble dry.

Tipsy Elves Midnight Garland Light Up Blazer

Hand wash or dry clean only; 100% polyester.

Shinesty The Duke of December

Dry clean only; Shinesty says a simple steam resolves most wrinkles.

All four list polyester fabric on the pages we read, so a handheld garment steamer is handy for getting the creases out of a suit fresh from the box.

What can you wear if no ugly Christmas suit fits you?

Wear a Christmas blazer or a big and tall ugly sweater with plain dark trousers in your own size, or go all in with a big and tall Christmas jumpsuit. A few ways to get the full-suit effect:

• Jacket only: a Shinesty jacket 58 or 60, or a Tipsy Elves Christmas blazer, over your own black or navy trousers.
• Big and tall jumpsuit: Tipsy Elves’ Christmas big and tall jumpsuits come in XL, XXL and 3XL; its Lumberjack, Blue Reindeer, Grey Moose and Rudolph were in stock in all three on November 12, 2026.
• Sweater plus tie: a 4X-6X sweater from our plus-size ugly sweater guide with a loud Christmas tie and big and tall Christmas suspenders.
• Easy on, easy off: ugly sweater vests and cardigans over a dress shirt.
• Make your own: pin removable decorations onto a plain blazer with our no-sew DIY guide.

Are there plus-size women’s ugly Christmas suits?

A few: Shinesty’s women’s Christmas blazers and matching pants or skirts run 0-16 (11 blazers on November 12, 2026), OppoSuits’ women’s Christmas blazers US 4-16, Tipsy Elves’ two women’s Christmas blazers XS-2X, and Suitmeister’s women’s Christmas blazers and suit go to 2XL. Check each brand’s women’s chart before you order; for bigger sizes, a sweater from our plus-size guide or women’s plus-size Christmas blazers on Amazon may be the easier route.

When should you order a big and tall Christmas suit?

Order by Black Friday weekend if you can, so there’s time to exchange a size before the parties. Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026, Cyber Monday is November 30, and National Ugly Sweater Day is Friday, December 18, 2026. The biggest sizes tend to go first — on November 12 only 4 of Shinesty’s 23 Christmas blazers had a jacket 60 left, and none of Tipsy Elves’ had a 52. Shinesty has seen a rush before:

We sold out of the entire North American inventory by 3:00 p.m. on Cyber Monday.

Shinesty offers free US returns and exchanges within 30 days (final-sale items excluded), so order early enough to use them. Cutting it close? Our 2026 order-by dates show how late each shipping option still works.

Questions and answers

Do ugly Christmas suits run small?

Most are cut slim. OppoSuits, Shinesty and Suitmeister all call their suits slim fit, and OppoSuits and Shinesty say to size up if you’re between two sizes. Tipsy Elves says its suits and blazers fit true to size, and to size up if you’re in between.

What is the biggest size ugly Christmas suit?

Of the four party-suit brands we checked on November 12, 2026, Shinesty goes biggest: jackets to size 60 (a 60-64 inch chest on its chart) and pants to a 50 (a 53-56 inch waist). Suitmeister stops at 2XL (55-inch chest), Tipsy Elves at a size 52 blazer and OppoSuits at US 52.

What size is a 3XL in a suit jacket?

It depends on the brand. On Tipsy Elves’ chart a 3XL is a size 48 jacket for a 48-49 inch chest, while OppoSuits calls its US 52 a 3XL and lists a 48-inch chest. Always compare your own chest measurement with that brand’s chart.

Can you get an ugly Christmas suit tailored?

Yes. Shinesty says its suit pants are fully alterable and have 1.5 inches (4 cm) of extra hem, and OppoSuits says a tailor can take its trousers in or let them out by up to two sizes at the waist.

Can you put an ugly Christmas suit in the washing machine?

Only if its label says so. OppoSuits’ suits are machine washable (no tumble dryer), Shinesty’s The Duke of December is dry clean only, Tipsy Elves’ Midnight Garland Light Up Blazer is hand wash or dry clean, and Suitmeister says not to wash its light-up jackets at all.
