Generic hoodie
Lands' End polo
Levis 514s
Mil web belt
Chucks

I don't normally do the half-tuck, but I did so here to show the belt for posting purposes.


Clothes are alright, simple which is fine but the fit is a bit off. The hoodie is 1 or 2 sizes too big and those jeans have a very unflattering cut. There is hardly any break on the jeans, which for a wide leg makes you look shorter and fatter. Get a slimmer cut on those jeans, maybe chop off 2" in circumference by getting them tailored, or better yet, getting a new pair.

How much did you size up? I know Levi's stretch like a mutha, but when the 514 (slim straight) fits like a 569 (loose straight), if not MC Hammer style, something's seriously wrong.

You really shouldn't have bothered. It looks like an outfit created for the mentally challenged, all that's missing is a rubber helmet and a lollipop.

That "thing" was pretty gnarly. It certainly showed off your curves.

I just got what I normally wear in other pants, which is a 32W, 30L.

I get most of my stuff off the rack, and even a size small is usually to roomy for me. I'm 5'6", 135lbs.

Hot Pockets, from your height and weight (and your pic) it seems like you should be wearing something more like a 30 waist than 32. A longer inseam would help also, as someone mentioned already.

As for most smalls being roomy, welcome to the club. The first step to combating that problem is to seek out brands that generally have slimmer cuts and/or have XS sizes. Hang around here and you'll move away from the "off the rack" mentality quickly enough!
