A lil help with fitting clothes??

[Guest]

Don't worry about putting color in your weardrobe you don't need them and they will not help you.

Google "Californication + Images" you'll notice that Hank (played by David Duchoveny) almost always wears a black t-shirt, black or grey blazer, dark jeans, sometimes a bracelet, and black sunglasses. He almost always looks the same, but it makes no difference. Trust me.

A few years ago I conducted an experiment. I decided to wear the same outfit everytime I went out or went on a date. Eventually people started to notice but if I didn't seem bothered by it, then they didn't bring it up too often. Since I didn't care what they thought, they stopped caring as well. It just became accepted that I would look pretty much the same all the time.

Yea, I see what you mean with that last pic. Maybe it was clinging to my undershirt or something, but I'm wearing that shirt right now and there's like 2-3 inches of slack when I pull it tight without stretching it. The only part that feels tight is at the arms which may or may not be a bad thing
*shrugs* I'll probably just take it back, though

I'm going to have to disagree with br on this one.

I am one that believes color (within reason) can actually help you. It will not make you better at game per se, but it can subcomminicate positive traits as well as generate positive attention.

Wearing a black button up military shirt to a club / bar is common and you'll just blend in to the crowd. Just another Joe schmoe.

I use to only wear dark colors, the navy blues, grays and blacks. Since I've started to mix in color, i've gotten way more compliments from women. Now I mix in canary yellow, lavendar, lime green, sky blue, etc. These colors are not the norm at clubs and will help you stand out and generate attention.

Many men are afraid to wear bright colors. I suggest yo find out what colors work with your skin tone and mix and match to see what works best. Wearing a red or yellow bracelet may be enough color to break away from the boring black.

Of course in the end, all that matters is that you are presentable. Tight game trumps all.

You're also not a big guy so this doesn't really apply in your case. Being bigger makes it much, much harder to pull off bright colors. Even if you're bigger in the sense of more muscular. Take Ronnie from Jersey Shore, yes I know I'm gay for referencing Jersey Shore. He's the biggest guy in the house and he routinely wears darker t-shirts, but with designs on them that have a splash of color. He does this to tone down his size.

If you throw a canary shirt on Muk, myself, or Ronnie for that matter then we'll look flat out ridiculous. If you must add color it should be through accessories. Bracelets, ties, hats, shoes, belts, etc. But, keep the base of your outfit the same. Dark colors and earth tones, vertical stripes, etc.

Having style is a benefit, but it is not required. Remember, women are the ones that are wired to be fashionable and draw attention. A lot of times, the guys that stand out the most are thought of as douchebags by women...then again, douchebags get pussy too so it does generate attraction with some women. Ultimately, it's about what you're most comfortable wearing and about what kind of woman you're trying to attract.

I agree with most of what you say here. Your other post made it seem that colors don't help at all, which I don't agree with.

You're absolutely right when you say bright colors make big guys appear bigger.

This is how I would mix it in if I was a bigger guy:

1. Wear a bright colored tshirt (preferably medium vneck) undera darker color jacket or vest.
2. Bright colored button up (with sleeves rolled up) under a dark colored vest.
3. Accessories, as br has mentioned, especially ties
4. Screen tees where the image has color. Not the Ed hardy or affliction (unless that's the look you're going for)

Yeah, this is a reasonable way to mix in some color. One of the best looks a guy can rock is a white t-shirt under a nice, dark blazer.

The only issue I can see with this recommendation is that it doesn't take into consideration where one carries their weight. If a guy carries it in his gut, then a vest is not going to look very good on him. A jacket is still doable but you have to have the broad shoulders to pull one off really well. Keep in mind that since you're starting to layer that you absolutely, positively have to make sure that the outter most layer contours to your body. It cannot hang or be droopy, it'll just make you look bigger and defeat the whole purpose.

If you're more 'chesty' with broad shoulders like myself, then a vest or jacket will look really good. A tie, on the other hand, not so much. Because of the way the bottom of the tie hangs once it's climbed over your massive pecs. One of the quickest ways to make a guy with a larger chest and broader shoulders to look larger than they are is for the abdomonial portion of his shirt balloon out. This is where tighter fitting t-shirts and slim cut button ups come in handy.

If the girth of a person's gut is larger than the girth of their shoulders, then I would advise that he focus on weight loss rather than trying make him appear slimmer. He should put in the work to actually get slimmer and look 10 times better in clothes. But that's a whole different thread....

cut the carbs bro! stick to meat, veggies, fruit, dairy.
start out small like throwing out the bun and eat just the burger.
if you stick to it you'll see results in 2 weeks guaranteed.
