[Aiden]

I didn;t lop my head off   and yeh, I nver really followed the popular style trends.  Have my own style, which is usually pretty plain or tough guy look I guess lol

[Scotty72]

hey there good lookin' nice legs!

I second that opinion.
All of them were really good looking outfits though, two thumbs up!

I have a couple outfits like Jet; I would dress like that full-time but my parents have been getting on my case about my clothing, so most of the time I just dress clean-cut, t-shirts, jackets, jeans, all fitted clothing. Loose tshirts/bball shorts/sweats when sitting around at home. Will take pictures sometime cause the ones I have right now show a terrible binding job heh.

I went shopping for pants today. It was a nightmare. I hate shopping for clothes because I can never find anything that fits, and if it does fit, I hate it. I persuaded my step-mom to take me to Buckle in the mall since we were near by, and I got 3 pairs of guy's jeans! I really like them. She also took me to the abercrombie & fitch store in that mall, and got 3 guy's shirts. That was a really productive shopping day for me, but my sister ended up with more than me (no shock at all, considering she finds a truckload of clothes everytime we go someplace, and then complains that she doesn't have any clothes to wear.) even though the shopping trip was supposed to be for me.

I shop in thrift stores with my mom all the time, so my step-mom decided to take me there, although I know she doesn't like second-hand stores. What annoyed me about it all was that I went to the guy's jeans, and she was like 'Oh, these are men's jeans, we should look at the women's jeans for you.' She already knew about my 'condition' so I also told her that women's jeans look horrible on me since they all tend to get smaller at the leg. She still dragged me over there to look, but I got away with only having to try on one pair of women's pants, since I found a pair of men's jeans conveniently misplaced within the women's rack, so I took them. But she was telling me the whole time 'be open-minded', and I was thinking, 'Yeah, lady, you don't see me trying to force you into men's jeans, so why are you forcing me into women's?'

LOL.  I just got some black BDU shorts from an army surplus store.  Comfortable, big pockets, straps on side to adjust waist, and look pretty dang cool.

[kestin]

I would live in the army surplas store if I could XD

Soo... ummm  maybe I am a weird guy, but I don't like wearing stripes or plaid unless it's on a kilt or part of costume lol.  Noticed a lot of men's clothing has stripes and plaid though, and defiantly the boxers lol...  hard to find some plain colored ones lol

Maybe I just have weird tastes.  Anyone else at odds with something in men's style?

Stuff from formalwear, like bowties. I think they look ridiculous. And really wide ties. Especially worn by wide people, it just makes them look wider. And I don't get when sometimes a guy will walk into a room wearing a tux and someone else will be like, wow, great suit dude, where'd you buy it? I don't understand what they mean, and they usually don't mean how it fits because most guys have suits that fit proper. Maybe I don't have the "eye" for them, but unless you've got a different coloured vest or tie, it looks the same.

But otherwise I like men's clothing. Especially blazers, those are awesomely cool.

My bad for bringing back a dead thread.

I just had something that's been slightly bugging me in regards to clothing.

Elwood mentioned somewhere about his dad's height and how he fits small shirts, but has long legs.... I feel like that's me to an extent (but I like my shirts baggy so I buy medium)....and I got my pants 30x32. The 30 fits my waist perfectly, but the 32 is irritating. I don't like having my ankles show when I sit down in jeans is it going to be harder for me to find 30x34??

[icontact]

I've never seen a 30x34, you'd probably have to go to a Big+Tall/similar store or special order it. I've seen a couple 31x34 though, so maybe that would work?

I see 30X34's all the time, I don't see it being an issue, though it may be harder to find them in certain styles of pants that only make 'so wide X so tall' without it being special ordered. 

I'm a 31X32 anything bigger falls down without a belt, anything smaller is too tight and uncomfortable, and anything shorter than a 32 and I have the same problem as you with my ankles showing.

[Elwood]

I wanted to post a picture of myself in my underwear, but I remembered that my dad reads this forum sometimes!

He's not ready to see his "daughter" packing yet. He actually will probably never be ready to see that.

My dad is 5'11", but he is quite thin. He weighs... 150 something? 170 something? He's a lean guy. But not anorexic or anything. His legs are quite long in proportion to his body (mine to; it makes me look taller in photos if I'm not standing with other people, lol). He is too thin for the pants that are the right length for him a lot of the time.

I have the same problem as my dad. Boy's 16s are long enough, but too big. Boy's 14s are sometimes too short, but fit my butt.

For god's sake, buy them long and take them to a tailor and get them taken up.  Yessh, its like $5-9 bucks, in SF, must be cheaper elsewhere.

It's kind of a hassle for pants. I just tend to look at different brands. There's usually at least one kind that fits. Then I get several of the same brand. The usually come in different textures/colors/styles.

For instance, I fit the boy's 16s in VANS because they were "emo boy" pants. They fit me normally, though.

[Aiden]

Yeh is kind of annoying.  I also admit I never knew what the second number was for LOL.   I though it was 40 through 44 or something like that.  Haven't had to many problems finding shorts in mens but don't know about pants since always wore masculine or adrogenous looking female pants in past.

Most problem have had is if they fit at the hips they tend to be loose around the waist.  I have a weird shaped stomach anyways.  shrugs.  and sometimes the crotch is a little snug with the packer.

I'm considering buying womens' pants in good-looking styles instead of men's, because I'm afraid I'll find nothing that fits me.. I'm 5'2 and a half, 109 pounds, and there aren't a lot of places that sell pants that fit small guys.

Shirts won't be a problem, because I can pick up a small. Underwear too. But pants are more complicated. And I am going to continue to buy sneakers in female's, because they fit me and they come in cooler colors.

I just want stuff that fits me well, because I've always been so weird about the way clothes feel on my body. I don't care what department it comes from if nobody else knows the difference.
