Short anons, where do you buy your clothes from?

I am a 5'6" tall male guy (24 years old) and I am just starting to dress well after a quarter a century of wearing oversized baggy clothes. I am starting to realize that it is very, very, very difficult to find clothes that fit.

So, what do?

You should try the kids' section

Get shit that shrinks
Start lifting weights
5'6' you should be at least 140-150 if you lift/eat at all
Skeleton lanklets can be /fa/ but if you're short you have to have at least some muscle to fit anything

what's a s or xs look like on u? if it fits in th shoulders is it too long/does that really look bad? i'm actually looking at, like, th inverse of this problem, i'm like 6foot 2 or somethin an have a relatively long torso and prefer shirts that fit a little longer. like, that they drape to the bottom of my booty, but a lot of shit usually just falls a few inches below my belt

kinda caught btween sizes whichis tough bein in clapistan where larger size = more girth/no more length...

European sizing, whatever it is, won't help. A friend of mine is 5'6" / 175 lbs and has been going to gym for nearly 10 years. It's just impossible for him to find anything that fits.

I'm 5'10" / 157 lbs and usually buy M size here in north Europe.

whats wrong with oversized/baggy clothes ?

>s or xs
nvm sozy, just read u were loosin weight an prolly wouldnt fit those sizes. normal stuff from m up is just catered to fat ppl and anything that fits ur shoulders is prolly billowy af on someone smaller likeu

just cop nice stuff and get it tailored/learn to yourself for cheap stuff or something. if u workin out n gettin strong ur gonna wanta do that anyways. ur pretty much gonna always have this problem because alot of clothes are made for ppl with bigger waists than shoulders lol

not op but some too-big plen shit makes me look/feel fat. comfy. just not a good look every time tho, especially in dressier-type stuff.

also i lift a little an am not hungry skeletor mode ;_; so i like clothes that fit my form. i dont dress for for this reason but the fit i prefer tends to make it obv i don't have a shit body.

5'7" 130lbs 8% body fat.

I am pretty weird looking, cigarette legs, 27 inch waist, shoulders are 18.5 over the top. Back muscles are fucking huge. Thank you based climbing gods.

>>7671321

all of us manlets are like different species
5'6'' 147lbs 12% body fat. Running and moderate lifting to hopefully drop to 135-140.

My weirdness comes from having really thick legs and a broad chest but skinny arms. I wear slim fit shirts because regular fit are way too much fabric. The problem is my bear chest keeps the material above itself so it lifts my collar too high. Even then, the smallest sizes have too much material hanging out the back when it's tucked in. Need to get stuff tailored since smalls are generally made for guys who are 5'8''

Find a good tailor.

iktf. it's my ankle, man. nothing i wear can be more than a 7" opening. i hate having material flopping around when i walk.

love seeing western/over-sized shit on japanese people. shit always looks soo good on them for some reason. every time...

I'm 5'6"...and a quarter. 155 lbs, 9% bf.

33" sleeves, 15 1/2 neck. Medium shoulders fit me, small sleeves fit, xs waist fits best...seriously.

I can pull off slim pants, but I usually blow the crotch on those. And most stores don't make pant legs less than 30". What to do...

keep with baggy put taper everything. gives u illusion of strength and height. loose pants tapered at the ankle, short jackets that taper at the waist and cuffed at the wrist. no huge high tops, but no tiny low tops. it's a balancing act but u can do it

m8 just buy some XS t-shirts

get them at uniqlo, the XS premium cotton shirts or dry shirts should fit perfectly if you are 5'6"
