The Role of Tailoring in Achieving 'Effective' Fit

The biggest thing for me with pants is the waist, though. @smiles , you've got those green pants that look like they fit you really well. What's your approach to searching for pants that fit? I'm about 28 in the waist and waist sizes 31-33 fit on the thighs, so there must be more to it than just walking into a department store

short legs too wide?

agree, not too wide If you're concerned with them looking too wide though, maybe go for slightly longer shorts so that they appear narrower proportionally

Have body dysmorphic disorder and need general help/advice.

After having slept on the convo last night: I think the reason this was considered bad advice is the context. I'm a pretty objective/analytical guy, and I have a lean and muscular body that I'm comfortable in. So I projected that mindset onto the original post and interpreted it as "please help me find clothes that fit, I'm struggling with my body image because I can't". To me, clothes that "fit" have some room to move, but are still pretty close to the body. Not baggy, not sausage casing. I'm mostly interested in clothes that present a cohesive, professional image, since I'm mostly dressing for my slightly-below-business-casual tech job. I don't really do the "expression" type fashion, of wearing baggy clothes, tight clothes, statement pieces, etc. Nothing wrong with that and I can appreciate a good fit, it's just not my hobby It seems like most of the other members interpreted the question as more "I don't feel good in the clothes I'm wearing, help me mentally reframe this so I can recognize a good fashionable fit". More of a mental question than a physical question. So a lot of the responses focused on how fit is subjective and baggy clothes can absolutely be fashionable. the server is malefashionadvice, after all And then I showed up, didn't read the backlog, and with that context, my advice came off as "your body isn't the right shape, you need to tailor your clothes to compensate". So I should have read the room better, sorry 😅 Muscular guys absolutely can wear baggy clothes without tailoring and look good in them. But I still stand by my opinion of, if you want a standard, neutral, businessy fit, it's really hard to achieve without alterations. Again, we're not talking hanging out with friends or hitting the club, we're talking going into the office. Also again, if anyone wants to prove me wrong, I will be forever grateful

I can see that you're huge 😳 but it seems like you really are going for baggy pants as like your vibe. What do you do for chinos?
