Advice for a fat fashion noob?
I (22) am pretty clueless when it comes to fashion and would like to add a few good outfits to my wardrobe. As context, I gained a lot of weight while at college.
At the moment I'm basically wearing sweats and football/soccer jerseys exclusively, which I guess isn't even half bad at the moment (thanks to the European Championships lol) but at some I do want to upgrade my style because it's admittedly pretty basic.
I guess my general question is: Does anyone have any tips, suggestions or experience with certain styles that look good on bigger guys, and especially shops that sell suitable clothes (online or offline)?
I've unfortunately had the negative experience that as a fat person you can look pretty silly in more stylish clothes if you choose the wrong cut.
I have a friend who is very interested in fashion and who has been trying to get my drip up to speed for a while now, but so far without success.
For example, when we put something together at some of the mkre trendy street wear stores that should actually fit loosely, it looks very silly or doesn't fit because some of the pieces are cut extremely strangely. (Don't get me wrong, I know I'm the problem lol)
I'd be happy for any kind of advice or pointers in the right direction to start my fashion journey!
