As a 6’2 man the clothes I find which are right for my height are often very loose on me. And if I worry about the waist I look like a kid who grew a lot in the past 2 months and everything is too short for me.

Its not entirely universal, some stores are better than others. And I wear a lot of loose casual t-shirts so thats fine too. But finding dress shirts means some places work, some don’t.

    Got anything to recommend? I’m a dude with butt and thighs that cause me to size up in the waist routinely, else I get the “pocket handles” thing, or just rip stuff lol.

      I’ve been buying a lot of Columbia stuff lately. I’m the type where I get hot easily so I’ve been buying their pants and dress shirts as they use a more breathable fabric. I just got used to sizing up a bit. I’m not at a point where I need to wear a belt thankfully.

      If you buying more expensive trousers then you can have the waist tailored to reduce it. I typically buy 40" and have them reduced to a 34". Obviously, this isn’t worth doing if you buying half a dozen for £50 from h&m or similar budget trousers.

      “Athletic fit” jeans are supposed to be designed for guys with thighs and ass. I like the Target brand ones because I need a 28" or 29" inseam and the Target brand shrinks vertically in the wash. I can’t buy long sleeve shirts at Target though because those don’t shrink to fit my t-rex arms.
