Folks, a bit of style for the fat man pah-lease!

I was talking to someone this evening about men's fashion and questions came up about what would I want if I could have anything. I wasn't really sure to be honest but I came up with a few things that I could think of off the top of my head.

Give Natalie an idea and she'll run with it. In a few minutes flat, she sent me a number of links to sites on men's fashion. Let me be honest here - I am no fashionista. I'm a humble man simply trying to get through life being as fancy as he can be.

One of the links she sent me was to a Modus Couture blog post with a couple of pics of a hot, bearded man dressed up and ready to go!


Corpus Spring Summer 09

That man is stylin'. It's a shame that I haven't been able to find pictures of the whole collection to link to. Shame Corpus, shame. I'm kinda going off track here.

I thought to myself that perhaps I could look for similar clothing in larger sizes available in Australia. How hard would it be? Actually, pretty bloody hard.

This is the selection of trousers for one major online 'big guy' clothing store.

Selection of Casual Trousers - Big Chaps Mensware

Sorry what? That isn't a selection. Jeans, a flexi waist trouser, denim trouser and a jean pant? Do you want me to look like I've stepped out of my Dad's wardrobe again? It's like you expect me to walk around in a pair of Stubbies and a Hawaiian shirt during the day, and then upgrade to 'Jean Pant' at night for some sophistication. Pah-lease.

Natalie found this other awesome look as well, from the Blackbird Blog. Smart musician dude carrying smart musician style bag with skinny tie, geeking it to the max glasses, and the jeans.

Schoolboy Style with Lad Musician

At least I know where to get the jeans from.

This is all I want:

  • Clothes that fit me and fit me well
  • Good quality fabrics that last and wear well
  • Styles that make sense to me today, not me in twenty years time or twenty years ago
  • I want to be able to look fancy without having to spend a FORTUNE

Give this man some good clothes so I can look as good as I feel about myself!
