Fashion/Dress for skinny guy?

[Frostie]

I've got a 30-32 Waist, I wear large shirts, shoe size is a 12. I'm 5'11, and about 144-145lbs.

I usually wear straight leg jeans, with a shirt, or T-shirt (including long sleeve). And if its cold (only real cold, I'll wear my leather bomber jacket)

I've got a broad chest, but I feel like a twig. Skinny arms/legs. (I've worked out,but forearms aren't getting much bigger, nor legs)

Triceps/biceps/chest got bigger, that is about it.

To give an idea, I can do 20-25 pull ups (dead hang palms facing away) , and around 65-70 pushups. Last time I ran a mile timed I got around 7-8mins, before when I ran a lot I got 6. (I haven't ran in like 2 years.)

Any advice would be appreciated.

I think what you are wearing sounds fine. I think structured clothing is the most flattering look on any man, rather than baggy or loose clothing. That said, "structured" doesn't mean tight either. Your shirt shouldn't be too big, but it doesn't need to hug your chest either. Hoodies are unflattering in almost every case, because they cling and fold in the wrong places, bulge in the stomach, and so forth. Jackets have a straight seam, which adds "boxiness" in a good way. Good-fitting cotton shirts, button-up shirts (work and casual), jackets, a few pairs of straight comfy jeans, a semi-casual outfit, and a formal outfit, and you should be good. Having a good quality leather belt (black or brown) and some good shoes adds tons of class to a man's wardrobe as well. Sneakers are fine in some situations, but own a pair of dress shoes and maybe some semi-casual shoes such as loafers, canvas shoes, etc, and a pair of boots for winter.

Here's a few pictures of outfits that I like on men:

Even though the kids are wearing the clothes, they look very adult here:

At the end of the day, your personal style says a lot about you, so don't try to change it too much. Just take good care of your appearance and try to wear clothes that you feel good in, and it will show. If your clothes are off-putting to a woman, she's not the right woman, because your clothes are an extension of your personality. Good luck!

Large shirts are too big. I'm 6'3 and 175 and they are shapeless in me. You should be wearing mediums - at most.

You may find European or Asian chains sell more stuff that fits you since they tend to be thinner. Tall and thin is much less uncommon in northern Europe so stores like h&m sell more to that model.

Sounds like you're in good shape. The fact that most guys are fat doesn't make you a twig.
