I'd love to dress better, but at my height and gender expectations, best I can do is a good pair of jeans and a nice t-shirt. Would love to do better 😥
It might be a little bit 2000s but a collared button down shirt worn over a t-shirt can spruce up the look quite a bit.
Nice idea, thank you!
What does that even mean? I’m 6’-5” and only 175-180lbs and I’m not flush with cash but I still get by just fine.
I can't easily find new clothes or shoes as they are not big enough. I can fing but like never what I'd like. Thrift stores? Just forget it. So jeans & t-shirt it is. 6'6 95kilo, maybe where you live there is an abundance of clothes fitting me but here it sure isn't.
I’m in Canada. We’re basically the same height but you wear, what, an XL? And I got size 16 feet, so while I understand the struggle I also know that I can definitely get shoes that work(Steve Madden makes shoes that don’t look at all weird when sized up).
If you’re in Europe I’d be amazed if the Germans or Scandanavians haven’t addressed this issue. If you’re in East Asia well that’s gunna be interesting for sure, and if you’re in Africa I really just don’t have enough info to be of any use.
I'm Swedish, and the authorised height stops at 1m92 (I jest, but that's basically how it works, everything must be 'lagom'). I live in France so that doesn't help of course, but when I go home, I don't get lucky either.
My jeans size is like 34x36 BTW 😁 Or is it 36x34 ...
Waist goes first for jeans. I’m a ~33”x34”. My height is largely in the torso so jeans are a little easier, but 36” inseam is generally not too hard to find. I have good luck with Levis.
Getting longer pants is straightfoward enough but man I try to find shirts and stuff and it’s just rough. We have a brand in Canada called Eddie Bauer, maybe it’s elsewhere too I have no clue, and they’re awesome for coats and stuff.
I'm 34x36 then I guess, simpler than when I was 31x36 😬😁
