I've been lurking for a while & have already come across the "short" threads.
Problem is, not many guys' measurements are similar to mine:
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 170lbs
So I'm really short, and overweight. I do tough workouts so I've got some muscle, but I'm still a fatass.
I don't know my measurements, but I usually wear an XL untucked t-shirt & 36 or 38" jeans (inseam irrelevant - I use rubber bands) on weekends; and for the job (business casual), a tucked L polo and 36"x29" khakis, which are still too long by a couple inches. When it's dress-up time, I have my single dress-up outfit: a 17"/33" dress shirt (top button is a killer) and 34"x29" dress pants.
I would like suggestions on the certain aspects I need to take into account in determining whether or not the clothes I wear "fit" or are still considered baggy, keeping in mind I've got a belly and a butt, a thick neck, huge thighs, and a wide chest/back. I don't shop at those high end stores; just your around-the-corner Target, K-Mart, Sears, etc...because I can't afford to spend that type of money on clothes. All of my clothes are "off the rack".
Any starter opinions welcome...
PS: Commencing my first job out of college is the reason I'm trying to transition from "sloppy" to "well-dressed". I thought I was doing good when I switched to polos & khakis but it's being unveiled unto me that I'm just as poorly dressed in that wear.
