What are your unproportional/awkward body parts? Style implications?

Like most people, some parts of my body are awkward and unproportional. For example, my legs are very long and my upper body short, which makes me look short while seated. For someone my height, my wrists and hands are very skinny and small respectively. This has stylistic implications: I can not wear untucked shirts as they look too long because of my short torso, cuffs never fit snugly due to my skinny wrists, and finding well-fitting gloves is always a pain.

Now I'm curious to know what parts of your body are unproportional or otherwise awkward? How does this impact your ability to carry out certain styles? It would be nice if we could keep this clean, but I understand that the subject might prove too tempting for the "jokers" around...

Huge penis, and only one nut. It works out okay. I tuck the penis down the left leg, while the ball stays on the right.

I feel like the torso vs leg proportions present one of the greatest challenges in dressing well. Anyone know if there any "scientific" analyses that indicate the ideal ratio?

DT is spreadin', baby!

Fine, ass. Seriously, my legs are kind of muscular compared to the rest of me. I work out but nothing ever gets more jacked except my goddamn legs. So it's tough wearing nice suits like Black Label because the jacket fits great but the slim-fit pants are kind of snug.

I have broad shoulders which makes well fitting OTR tops hard to find. I also have wide feet so many shoes that don't come in wide sizes don't fit all that well.

Same as this but I also have short arms and carry weight like a woman, around my hips/thighs.

My arms are longer than average. Pretty much leaving the dress shirt options to MTM.

I have kinda broad shoulders compared to my waist so it's really hard to find shirts that fit well in the upper body and lower body. Also, my legs are a little short in proportion to the rest of my body, which makes some outfits a little ridiculous looking.

my feet fit dress shoes differently (from each other) which really sucks

My chest is bigger than my shoulders claim, so shirts that fit perfect around my chest hang a little over the shoulder, it's annoying. I guess I need to work on delts more.
