I have the same issue with length on clothes, I am hella short so almost everything is either too wide or too long, except when they shrink!!!!

I find that when I buy polos for work, I get a 2xlt, so it doesn't shrink as much and it fits good. That is work attire, which is what I wear now about 85 percent of the time during the week. LE Sigh.

I used to wear my college ring but it seemed uncomfortable on my finger so I don't wear it anymore.

Anyone wear jewelry?

I wear a survival knife replica on a neck chain.

What the heck do people do about dress shirts. By the time I get men's to fit my chest, they look rediculous.

I actually bought a woman's on today. Ya know, it isn't the tag that pisses me off about women's clothing. It's that every damned inch of how they are made is to sexualize and accentuate shit that not every one likes shown off. I don't think it's even just about being MOC, there have to be femmenine women who also don't want their bodies accentuated that way, at lest not all the time. That isn't to say it's wrong if you like looking that way, but where is the variety?

Anyway, my struggle is that I have to dress for a conservative cousins wedding. I'm told the attire is "cocktail." A shirt and tie seems obvious but I cannot get dress shirts to fit right. And well, from my griping above you can tell that finding a simple white button up in the women's department can't be done without darts (thank god this one at least buttons all the way up)

I wear mens button down shirts, I don't have any issues with how they look on me, just the arms are too long LOL.. I am very short so about everything is too long on me.

A suggestion maybe to go to a tailor or order one online from a butch outfitters company, they make them actually fit a butches body and they are pretty nice shirts too.

I agree with JD.. mens dress shirts do not work for all body types... for me the vintage fitted shirts seem to work great.... but a great resource for shirts is the Dapper Q site... which i follow.. its very helpful..

I don't wear much green, but this shade with a black t-shirt underneath looks good on me :hangloose:

Can't beat a nice white starched shirt, black slacks, and a pair of dressy black shoes so highly polished you can see your face in them.......

I like polo shirts like this because you can either go casual with a pair of jeans and sneakers or for a more dressy look wear a pair of navy dress slacks and a dress shoe.......

The one thing that can muck up any kind of polo shirt IMHO is a big ugly pocket,,,

Thank you, that is the site I was talking about!

ClintB 06-04-2017 07:45 PM

I have to admit I could pursue thmy internet more. I was looking at a few sites but didn't like the colors offered (no white).

There are also a few custom tailored shirt apps I keep thinking about. Spends, but may b wort it.

JDeere 06-11-2017 08:55 PM

I like my job but hate the clothes LOL

I just wish it was more casual and such but it is a government deal so you have to dress accordingly. I might have to go back into the manufacturing world.

StoicStone 06-12-2017 02:19 AM

I guess I'm fortunate, men's clothes off the rack from any store fit me just fine. I also have rather large, wide feet, so I can find men's shoes, however I am quite old now, so I have wear orthopedic shoes. (none of them look very good, but like depends they are a necessary evil)

Fashion news from the street corner:
Baggie is officially out.
Fitted is back in.

My previous gig required business casual and since it was a VERY conservative company I tended toward gender neutral-ish type of clothes... not wanting to go too "masculine." Anyway, so, I'd sometimes wear made for female shirts and sometimes I'd wear made for male shirts.

The thing I hated the most about the male shirts were that they are clearly designed to be tucked into trousers... long tails front and back. I hate having to tuck! lol Ugh!! Thankfully... my ex was quite the seamstress and she would alter my male shirts so that the bottoms were cut like women's short... more straight across... no tails. Whoever came up with this idea... genius!!

Having said all that... lol :seeingstars: I just came across this company... https://www.untuckit.com/

I love navy and any time there is a hint of yellow, even better!

I do like those two colors together very much...when the yellow is just a hint.

JDeere 06-15-2017 07:59 PM

I like those colors but not the type of fit, being a big boi they don't always fit correctly and they don't feel comfortable.

I'm hoping I can get back into another line of work, where I don't have to worry about buying more clothes!

ClintB 06-30-2017 12:26 PM

Has anyone orders from outplay before

I'm having a really bad experience with them on a swim tip I ordered a month ago, paid for two day shipping, and still don't have!

Not for me. Reminds me too much of Michigan's colors. Lol
