My buddy met his wife on Hinge during COVID. He's a good looking dude that dresses well. Me? I'm not exactly the most photogenic person and my sense of style is "I work in IT" 😄
Wearing clothes that fit is the most important thing for being good at men’s fashion. A very simple tshirt and jeans can be really affordable and attractive IF they fit.
I apparently have an odd body shape, shorter legs and I carry all my fat in my gut, so it makes finding comfortable jeans very difficult. What fits me is about a 31 or 32" waist (before I gained weight, now it's like 35") and like 28" or 29" length, but no stores sell that so I started buying them online. Also I have minor gynecomastia ("bitch tits") so tight shirts just look bad on me. I'm nipping like a woman in a freezer.
Before COVID I dropped 45 pounds and went down to 135 pounds at 5'9", everywhere else I had practically zero fat, but still had a decent sized gut and man boobs even though I had like 12.5% body fat. I bought a bunch of clothes that fit, then couldn't do anything for 9 months and gained the majority of it back.
I'm trying again after 3 years and will need to buy new clothes again, but this time for a tropical climate, so it should be easier to find clothes that fit me well since most shirts everyone wears are button ups to let the air through and shorts.
