Do you have a photo you could post? Also, why is tailoring out of the question? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-young-man-in-fashion-desperation#post-14159 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:58:34 +0000 cjbarker32 14159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I know what's popular, I know what's stylish, but I have the most difficult time dressing for my body type. I'm a bit of a pear, with thick waist, rear and thighs, the rest of me is comparitively thin. I am 6'1", have a 16" neck, 44" waist and a 40" chest. I can't find things that fit properly and frankly tailoring is out of the question. I have no need for suits, . I can find dress clothes without batting an eyelash, it's casual clothing that has me totally stumped. everything is either WAAAY to baggy and oversized or ridiculousy slenderized. One more caveat, I live in a VERY warm climate, summer usually runs in the 100's. I'm not a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy, I can't find polo's or khaki's that look right! I'M LOST, I'm tired of so many fashion websites ignoring heavier men. I was hoping you might have some insights. low-rise and boot-cut? Normal rise and wide leg? Spread collar or mandarin, lol I'm tired of looking like a fashion misfit in my day to day life. </p>
