Help with fit part 2

[sharpcelery]

So i took the advice given out on the forum and have some new purchases for you guys to critique.

Shirts:

Fred Perry L Polo

ZARA Polo thing XL

ZARA Slim fit XXL

Mossimo L (probably needs to be hemmed)

Pants (these are old pants):

JCrew Cords

CK Pants

Express Shorts

Unknown slacks

Now for stuff about jeans (I'm focusing on Levi's for now)

Shrink to Fit 501 (obviously pre-first wash)

514 34x34 (ignore wash) Probably need to go down to 34x32

As for wash, I'm buying at a department store, so I'm having trouble finding something approximating the look of raw jeans. Is this anywhere close?

Last but not least, should I bother getting a new battery for this watch?

Here's my rating for each fit, not necessarily in order: 3, 6, 5, 7, 6, 6, 6, 4, 2, 5, 7, 4, 4, 5, 6, 3, 2, 9 (that one rocked)

I can't believe I'm saying this, being a serial tucker, but UNTUCK that fred perry polo in the topmost pic

and return/sell/burn the CK trousers

Raymond Weil makes a nice quartz watch, worth getting a battery for

Sarcasm?

If not, thank you, but without knowing the order I can't really make adjustments.

I thought the CK trousers were extremely tight on me.

Would wearing the raymond weil mean that I would need to wear belts with brass buckles?

do your arms always hang like that or are you able to relax a bit?

I'm not used to taking pictures of myself. Is there a particular shirt you need me to take a picture of again?

Alright, my rule of thumb for determining fit is to ignore your actual image and focus on the silhouette the clothes create for you. Look at the outline your outfit creates and see if that is actually complimenting to your body or not. Ignore the patterns and colors, look at the way the clothes make your body appear.

I feel that subconsciously, this is how people determine the fit of your clothes. They might not recognize it but once you get your eye used to it it's clear to see. For instance, in your first picture, you notice how everything flares out and then dramatically tightens at the waist band. A human body doesn't do this, and it's obviously. The shirt balloons out and then the tucked in nature only worsens this effect, subliminally sending a false (and unflattering) image of your body type.

Those CK trousers look like they're about to burst at the seams...

and does that Zara polo have an elastic hem?

Everything else fits okay. I wouldn't bother hemming that shirt or getting a shorter inseam on the 514's. Just my 2 cents.

Your haunches are impeccable.

I would typically include a "no ****" disclaimer, but honestly, even I'm not sure at this point.
