I thought the "V" shape body or mesomophic body is the ideal for male physiques. The width of the shoulders with small waist allows the clothes to drape better. Luckily, I don't have chicken legs.

True, however, mine is verging on the ridiculous. I have extremely thin legs and an eleven or twelve inch drop.

Thankfully Margeila is catering to me quite nicely this year.

Hey, that was just my observation and I still thing the top half is too bulky for the jeans. I realize people can be tall, broad shouldered and skinny legged. I think slighly looser jeans may go better with that top while those jeans and a t in summer would look fine.

If that was ment torwards me; chubby? I am 5'9 and 155 (38 chest, 31 waist). Theres a difference between attacking the person and saying a outfit makes you look a certain way.

gents - notice how drizzt counteracts his chicken legs with a well fitting pair of straight jeans.

I think Serg has a point. The question for anyone who's worried about whether he has chicken legs is whether he actually cares. It's a recognized look that fades in and out of fashion. There are some interesting big-on-top, skinny-on-bottom silhouettes.

Sweater- Dolce and Gabbanna
Motorcylcle Jacket- A gift from a while back and I sized up. Just don't know if it works.
Jeans- Iron Heart 634S
Motocycle Boots w/ detachable buckle- Dolce and Gabbanna


I've been sick the past week and haven't been around much, but I HAD to let you know that you absolutely killed it with this look! Very well done; I've been looking to source a pair of harness boots soon, myself.

I thought about rephrasing. I didn't want to do this to you, but I couldn't resist.
