Suit looks good, but IMO it's a waste- you should lose all the extra weight you're carrying, and once you do that it won't fit you.


+1.

You're only 18. If you put effort into it, by the time you turn 20 you will be in a great shape.

It took me about 1.5 years to go from 210 lbs at ~30% body fat to 155 lbs at 13-14% body fat...and I'm almost 10 years older than you are.

I'm certain if you lose the excess weight, you will feel a lot better about yourself. You will also have a better physique to work with and will definitely look better in clothes as the result.

do not listen to this, I think you look great here. t-shirts with suits are a not proper you can experiment with diffrent color shirts and ties I think you have a great style going and it is a very refreshing thing to see in someone so young.


I know a suit's jacket can not do a blazer job but he is just a college student. Unless suit's the dress code, he can wear t-shirt for a comfortable look. It may look refreshing in your eyes but might not in his 18yo friends.

Thanks for the reply's, never heard of dimpling a tie but will do so from now on. I know the weight's an issue but it has been for quite some years but I hope this year I'll be able to get fit. The suit is dark blue.

And this isn't something I wear everyday, I have to wear a suit about 3-4 times a month for school but I hate kids walking around in ill fitting suits because they think suits are "lame" so I try to put a little effort into it so I don't look like I was forced into a suit.

Suit is OTR by the way.
