I am a large (2XL) male that would like to dress better. But every time I find classy clothes that make me look more professional it’s just a sensory nightmare. Rough fabrics, too tight in places, hard for the skin to breathe in, etc.
I need something other than baggy black t-shirts and soft jeans.
Have you men found classy clothes that make you look professional but is still comfortable to wear?
It depends on how much better you want to dress. Some “Fishing Shirts” can be a big step up from a simple tee, while not being grossly uncomfortable.
Have you tried silk dress shirts?
I also hate wearing monkey suits due to sensory issues. But silk feels nice. Not quite as breathable, tho. But the roughness of more common fabrics for those kind of shirts is way more irritating than getting a bit hot inside the clothes.
How about linen? This is a woman’s shirt, $2 at the thrift, super comfy and smooth. LOL, the vest is also a woman’s top, also $2.
Damn you look good!
i have to use layers. it can get hot in the summer outdoors but for work I’m mostly indoors and the layering would hide most sweat anyway.
for me, polyester “tech” fabric shirts as base layer can balance texture/touch sensory concerns and they usually slide freely against other fabrics so it wouldn’t bunch or restrict movement.
I’ve seen some upper management wear tech fabric polo/golf shirts in the office as a single layer (i knew it was single later cuz i could see their nipples outline 🤮) maybe that is allowed in your workplace. i understand if you don’t wasn’t others to see your nipples though.
