<p>e: I do agree with Caille that you should avoid things like Tapout shirts. Those really do look hella toolish, usually because the only people I’ve encountered wearing them are indeed tools.</p>
<p>e2: and the Desert Boots, those are noice</p>
<p>1 where clothes that fit. Sounds dumb but seriously. 2 dark jeans are always better. 3 in general darker/richer colors give you a better silhouette. 4 WEAR GOOD SHOES. I hate when people ruin their look with shoes. Do not wear workout shoes–wear street shoes unless you’re working out. Which makes sense anyway bc why would you ruin your workout shoes… good shoes: polo, toms, vans, chuck taylors, Nike street shoes, sperrys… etc.
Good luck :)</p>
<p>I disagree with most of the advice given here… Other than a select few posts, I’ve found most of what’s been posted here to be untrue.</p>
<p>People love the guy wearing cargo’s and a good Affliction/Tapout shirts. Not only does it show that you love to party and care about your physique (they’ll be inclined to think you’re an aspiring MMA fighter, or the hardcore gym rat type), but also that your laid back and prepared for whatever may come your way (some people may even be so bold, as to ask what you keep in all those pockets).</p>
<p>If you feel a bit more edgy, invest in a good pair of workboots, it’ll give off the impression that you’re a hard-worker/always have work on your mind, and pull the whole look together.</p>

<p>From what I have seen, “slim fit” will probably fit the OP as he is now, not how he may be after building up muscle at the gym. “Athletic fit” would be the type of stuff that theoretically would fit a man with a big chest and small waist, but it is hard to find, and the clothing companies’ definition of “athletic” (chest - waist = 8", as opposed to 6" for regular fit) may not be sufficient for many actual athletes (whose chest - waist may be 10" to 15" or even more).</p>
<p>Despite the greater clothing size problems, it is healthier to be muscular and lean, rather than underweight or obese.</p>
<p>i don’t see the problem with cargos, everyone wears them around here…and they look fine to me</p>
<p>you wanna be cool get something made in USA instead of overpriced sellout chinese *****. get yer boots made in USA, theres not much you can do about other stuff. usually i wear a nice button up shirt and jeans/pants.</p>
<p>no i disagree with you Zap, people love the person underneath the clothes. The stereotype you are referring too with outgoing fun personality, and who is also health nut or works out alot. I can name about ten people that fit this stereotype, they are only filling a mold society has made for them, filling a role. Be an Individual, be independant, make your own decisions. </p>
<p>im a bit of a health nut but hey who would of guessed cause of how small i am? dosent matter what shirt i where no one would ever assume this.</p>
<p>I dress how i want and in my own style and you know what? We make the styles. Me and you, the innovators of our time. By the time the market and mass population catches up, we have already invented something new.</p>
<p>Really good advice, thanks, everyone, especially Caille. Zap, as much as I work out in the next month before heading off to school, I don’t think I’ll be able to fool anyone into thinking I’m a hardcore gym rat, heh.</p>
<p>I got some chino shorts, a few Oxfords and Ralph Lauren polos, some solid tee shirts to go under those, a zip hoodie, and some slimmer jeans (I prefer shorts when I can, though), to start. I still need a coat; peacoats look pretty cool. I guess the biggest problem is shoes still. Caille alone named 6 types. Vans and Sperrys both look pretty good, desert boots are a little more adventurous for me, I guess I’ll just shop around and see which I like.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was messing with you… haha</p>
<p>Wear what your comfortable wearing</p>
<p>No white sneakers. They must be orange or purple. Flourescent or rainbow laces are a must. The rest is up to you.</p>
<p>lol caillebotte is such a tool</p>
<p>^been called much worse</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve always thought that wearing T-shirts underneath nicer shirts looked incredibly tacky. If you’re worried about sweat showing up on your nicer shirts, then get some deep V-necks that can’t be seen at all.</p>
<p>As for shoes, you seriously can’t go wrong with a pair of Sperry Topsiders. They’re extremely versatile. I wear mine with jeans, shorts, and khaki pants - so pretty much, every time I ever leave the house.</p>
<p>Do you really care that much about what people think about how you look?</p>
<p>So what type of shorts should I wear with Sperry’s? All I have seen are suggestions to wear dark jeans.</p>
<p>Nice I got my first pair of Sperry Topsiders last weekend and yea I agree with Keasbey they’re pretty awesome!</p>
<p>
You should look into Sanuks. They’re pretty unique and where I’m from, you can only really get them at beach/swim-related stores… because they’re great for beach-going, but they are also excellent for casual wear. You can order them online: [Mens</a> Sidewalk Surfers | Sanuk<a href=“or%20at%20zappos.com”>/url</a>… or check the Sanuk website’s store locator.</p>
<p>I got a pair of the Shore Leave style the other day, it’s almost like a boat shoe (so could be a potential alternative to a Sperry, for example) – [url=<a href=“Sanuk® | Men's Detour Sidewalk Surfers® | Sanuk.com”>Sanuk® | Men's Detour Sidewalk Surfers® | Sanuk.com]Sanuk</a> Shore Leave - Sanuk Mens Sidewalk Surfers](<a href=“Men's Sidewalk Surfers® | Sanuk®”>Men's Sidewalk Surfers® | Sanuk®) – I LOVE 'em… .haven’t worn anything else since.</p>
<p>They have so many various styles, some are hideous, but some are “different” and I like them. In terms of comfortability, I’ve never felt anything like them… most of the styles have flexible soles that bend with your foot as you walk and they’re just overall amazingly comfortable.</p>
<p>Sorry for rambling about Sanuks… they’re just not that popular but definitely should be! 
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>is this a joke?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No… There’s no punchline</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>to people who wear those shorts with little animals printed on them, yes</p>
<p>I almost mentioned sanuks, I like them too!
And as for shorts with shoes go for cloth shorts that hit at the knee or just above, maybe a couple inches depending on what you’re comfortable with. Khaki shorts are good, so are plaids and really any solid color typically, don’t wear them too baggy–wear them slim fit I’d say. Just avoid denim shorts and cargos. Also avoid tall socks, ankle socks or no-shows are your best friend.</p>
<p>Also I like chaco sandals, although they are a lot less preppy than a lot of the stuff mentioned on here. Very comfortable though
