What happened to nice cotton shirts that show off the shoulder and arms but hide the fact you probably have bit of a tummy? I'm convinced all these weird fiber shirts are a conspiracy by dudes who have big pecks and flat abs but no arm muscles.
Plus all those microfiber shirts make it feel like I have a wet silk blanket on me.
you are both pretty, okay? jeez
anyways the real culprit here is the death of tailoring as an accessible profession.
want clothing that fits? better be rich!:porky-happy:
Was tailoring actually accessible/affordable, or was it just one of those situations where it was the only option at the time, so everyone had to use it but as a result could only afford like 2 shirts they had to save up for for months?
I’ll try but I’m worried I’m gonna have one of those “stand naked in front of a mirror and meditate on how gross I am” nights.
JK that’s just every night. Don’t worry I’ll get to bed just fine.
Oh don’t worry. Sorry if I made you feel guilty, I was just doing a bit of self deprecating humor. I’m actually feeling pretty okay about my body image overall lately. Just had one of “those nights” where I felt a little uggo.
It's pretty wild how much I fluctuate between thinking I'm decent looking and thinking I'm ass ugly.
I have been. Been doing pull ups, kettlebell swings and clears. My shoulders are looking ripped. But every time I put on one of those American apparel type shirts I feel like a sack of potatoes with two strings of spaghetti on the sides
Yeah but it makes my bit of a tummy look like a gigantic beer gut
I would recommend finding heavyweight cotton shirts, they're often sold as workwear but they're just plain shirts with thicker material. I found the Dickies and Gildan ones pretty solid but a ton of places make em.
Discovered them incidentally in a quest to avoid constantly putting holes in them at work, but they do help hide a couple pounds much better than regular shirts (and also prevent showing nips through if that's a problem for you).
I wear those thick Carhartt cotton shirts all the time. The material is really thick so it lasts for a lot of washes and also stops my nips from poking though the shirt. Poggers
