I'm tall, broad shouldered, and have big quads. It is unlikely that I would ever be able to pull off hungry skeleton mode even if I wanted to - I looked weird as hell when I was rail thin as a middle teenager. My friends have described me as "moderately built." I like the way I look naked, but I don't like the way I look clothed. What kind of fit should I go for? I look stupid in slim and thin clothing, shit just drapes over my pecs and hugs my hugeass Scandinavian quads. Loose clothing is even worse, I look like a big sloppy fuck. The only time that I feel like my build is really flattered by my clothing is when I'm in a tiny athletic tshirt, but that sends a message I don't want to send and attracts the wrong kind of people.

How can I be fit and fashionable? Is it possible? Pic related, if it wasn't Kennedy, people here would call him a fatty.

Also, I'm not interested in dressing excessively preppy/gothninja/any tryhard shit like that. Simplicity is something I'm striving for. People need to look at me and think I'm well put together, but know that I'm thinking about things besides fashion.

I'm also a college student, so it has to be a look that can be replicated without wearing all designer clothes.

just buy sweaters chinos and oxfords from j crew and gap

tip to pulling this look off without looking like a frat douche: dont wear boat shoes

honestly invest in a pair of white common projects for this look

That's because being /fa/ is more than just about the clothes. Groom yourself properly and just buy well fitting, quality clothing op. Solid color OXBDs (white, light blue, burgandy, and navy are standards). Some wool pullovers. Tapered black jeans and tobacco colored chinos. Pair of leather boots.

This will make you look put together (dadcore in /fa/ terms). You can't just jump straight into being a fuccboi.


>>7520588
Thrift and consignment shops are going to be your best bet then. Quality clothes is pricey because of tailoring and materials. You can get some decently constructed shirts by going the vintage route and getting them tailored. Just make sure the chest, shoulders, and sleeve length fit.

Sounds easy enough. Who sells some reasonably priced oxfords? tuxbell claims J. Crew is overpriced - is this still true?

macy's has nice fitting oxfords for cheap, brand is "club room", I stocked up on about 5 of them. I'm 6'1" and 190lbs, these fit well and don't bunch up in armpits and chest like some do. Seems like most clothes nowadays are made for skinnyfats, tiny arm/chest and tent around torso. Also hollister has a oxford muscle shirt that looks like a nice cut, haven't tried one yet though.

they cost more, but at 6'3, i find that smaller size of tall-mens usually has decent results. only cop if you can try it on first though since they sometimes come out in wacky proportions.

they are a curse.
everything sized for your shoulders will be too huge everywhere else, assuming you aren't fat.

daniel craig, fat

this is after james bond and he was told to gain 25lbs for girl with a dragon tattoo to appear less atheletic and more like a journalist

idk about holliester

they're not actually for muscular guys
they're for fatties with large fat shoulders

i used to wear them as a teen but the logo is kinda shit

Yeah I was the one who asked, I have really broad sholders and my clavicles stick out like a mofo.

But I have problems with shirts because either my shoulders fit or my torso fits. Never both.

>daniel, you know hated his weight gain. Wardrobing was rather difficult, layering him thick heavy layers in order to make him appear even heavier than he was

>the only piece he liked were these jeans, these scotch and soda brand jeans, so we bought like 30 pairs.

>lisbeth was much more of a deeper thought process in developing character through her wardrobe, very functional, worn down clothes. as daniel's character was more of an artform of concealing body fat and conveying his passion for clothing
