Such bad purchases. You can find way better things for less than that. As for your broad shoulders, find a competent tailor. I have the same issue and I need to bring basically all my shirts and jackets in to get them tailored in the torso so they fit properly. Be forewarned though, this process won't turn **** into gold so you still need to start with a good base product.

Well, most clothes for sale here look pretty much the same. I will look into ordering more online.

Yeah, I can get some mtm shirts made, they aren't very expensive, around 60$ max, but I guess sewing a custom leather jacket would require a much bigger investment and to be honest tailors suck in my country, there are no people doing this.

The funny thing is I've been commented a lot on how well I dress, probably due to the fact that everyone here dresses very, very bad. Then again what do you expect from a third world country.

your clothing isn't too big, you're almost certainly wearing your correct size in everything. it's probably just that you aren't wearing brands that are slim fitting or that, really, have any discernible stylistic direction or shape at all.

I don't think you really look as bad as these guys are saying though. just sorta "48 year-old doing casual." not everyone has to push for a fashion forward look, but there are high-end brands out there that are conservative design-wise but simply much more considered in regards to cut and silhouette than the shapeless **** you'd find in malls and US MC retailers

Ha ha. But I'm 22. At least my face is really young and it kind of offsets the clothes. I rarely see very stylish youngsters here. There are some that dress like you guys do but very rare and they always have a very, very slim figure. No v taper, straight and skinny legs with skinny jeans, some peacoat and a hitler youth haircut. These are rare and even if I wore the same clothes I wouldn't look like them. I would really like to be fashionable and stylish but currently the top brand clothes are out of the budget. I don't buy low quality stuff, it's above average, but not the level of SF.

I've lurked a long while just started posting recently since I got a good camera to take pictures with.

Lurking is one thing and I theoretically know what looks good, it's just that it's hard to find the right clothes. I went through the 3 biggest clothing centers to find good shoes that are SF approved and couldn't find anything, now I will order them online.

Do you have a Zara? that would be a start. Not great quality but they have a ton of cool stuff. Having said that, i dont find their stores that great they have way more variety online. Generally, the clothes worn on SF are not mall brand and walking into a mall and trying to imitate the looks from here is impossible.

The sweatpants are fine but the hem + shoes combination is not.

I do have Zara and I liked their blazers, but the problem is - everything is so small. The blazers fit fantastically at waist, but they where just too hard on the shoulders. Even the XXL one

The belts are all tiny as well.

What are your measurements in shoulder, chest and waist? You look pretty average sized from your photos.
