The guy on the right is the worst example of a guy to use for that video. He's too fat. Dress shirts always fit and look best when they're snug on the guy(fit/slim guys only, fat guys really don't look good in dress shirts as it accentuates their gut) but still properly adhere to fitting guidelines in the shoulders and arms e.g. shoulder seams lining up with your arms and shoulders. And they look the best when there isn't excessive amounts of material billowing at the waste(front and back) or in between the pecs and shoulders.

It's hard to look properly good in dress shirts if you aren't fit or flat bellied with no b!tch tits.

Not only does looking good makes you feel good, you get a lot of respect from people too. I remember in the past, overweight and dressed badly I could sense people looked at me negatively. Now the tide has turned. People are in "awe" and it means I call the shots with others relinquishing their power easily. While before that was not the case.

A friend of mine who does a lot of financial business recently told me, " If you go into a meeting or work/social situation and you aren't dressed smartly, you've already lost."

I agree. I have a few very high quality shirts that I always get comments on when I wear them. High quality, stylish cut and they suit my body shape.

Remember seeing the chubby gut girls wearing the crop top tees? Nasty right?

"Dress for your figure, not the fashion" - a well known saying amongst women, that men can also apply.

Agree, working out + wearing form-fitting shirts really makes you look better, which increases your self-confidence. Buying nice clothes can get a bit pricey which is a drawback, but it's worth it IMO. Think of it as an investment in yourself.

I highly recommend Banana Republic shirts, they're very well made and look really nice. Also, I just recently learned that products at outlet malls are different than regular shopping malls. For example, a polo at J. Crew is made of better material than J. Crew Outlet. I had no idea, maybe that's common knowledge lol.

So unless you're on a strict budget, aka in college, don't hit up the outlet malls as much as the regular chain.

Good Thread

I totally agree with this post, wearing the right clothing is crucial.

Pro-Tip #1:

Find your size in a particular brand and shop online. For example: I wear a small in 7 diamonds long sleeve shirts. They are very high quality shirts that cost 100 a pop. However if you go to:

www.6pm.com

They have them for 25 a pop.

Pro-Tip # 2:

Marhshalls, Nordstrom Rack, Ross are you friends find out when they restock and hit them up.

Pro-Tip #3:
Fit is EVERYTHING, you can have 250 shirt and 500 jeans but if they don't fit right you will be outclassed by someone won't spend that much on something (like me)

Pro-Tip #4
Buy some DARK WASH jeans and Dark wash with slight fading. I personally like hm jeans and abercrombie (yeah I know).

Pro-Tip #5
Contrast tops and bottoms. I wear dark jeans and then I wear a light top that pops off from it. Don't wear navy shirts with dark jeans. Wearing white shorts for summer, black shirt or navy shirt looks sharp

Pro-Tip #6
Shoes are the only thing I would spend money on. I got these shoes and I get complements ALL the time. Light Brown oxfords laced up, POP off hard from dark jeans. I don't really like BLACK shoes with jeans.
