Hi,
I'm 6'1", african american, skinny, and completely burnt out from trying to find streetwear/college-wear that fits me properly.
As the years have gone by, I have noticed a gradual drift between clothing styles.. you either have extremely baggy/uncomfortable jeans, or too-close-for-comfort straight legged jeans. This is all fine and dandy except for the fact that it puts me in a terrible position to find the style of jeans I prefer. I like loose-fitting jeans, but not so loose as to be baggy and hanging out under my butt. 19-20" leg opening. I have found that bootcuts simply don't look good on me. It is quite strange, as I have "bowed" legs, but it is true. So what I'm trying to find are some loose-fitting straight legged jeans with 19-20.5" leg opening. Can I get some help? As an example, I have a pair of levi 569's and I think they are almost perfect: they are just a little bit too tight. I also have a pair of bullhead loose fit straight leg jeans, and I think they are about right.
Also, I'm having problems finding t-shirts that fit me the way I like. They are either 2 sizes too large, and extending to my knees, or uncomfortably small, falling just over my belt, and having sleeves that just barely cover my (not so) bulging shoulder muscles. This is annoying to me. I like the (closer) fitting t-shirts (not macho muscle-man t-shirts, mind you) that also fits my shoulder properly, extends a little below my waist, and with sleeves that extend to my elbow (or somewhere close).
I ask here, because I'd like to find some good stuff for my back-to-school wardrobe that fits well, and doesn't leave me feeling very uncomfortable.
ok, snobby writing aside, I need help.. its been a frustrating six months trying to find stuff that fits me correctly. I'm a college student, and I'd just go frat style abercrombie, but that doesn't really work for me, because I'm african american, and their stuff just looks weird on me. No offense.
Thanks!
