wide pants are the obvious thing. jeans, chinos, fatigues, double knees, whatever. I'm also a fan of Needles' big track pants.
A big shirt can certainly work, but try big, high rise pants, with a small shirt / tee / sweater tucked in, and then layer a big coat over that that's on the longer side — a chunky bomber, a thrifted overcoat, whatever you're into. the long coat + high rise pant creates two different horizontal lines, so you get the proportion benefits of both—your legs look long but your torso doesn't look short.
then, you can go in a lot of different directions with the shoes. hiker-sneakers, chunky loafers, funky boots, weird mules, paraboot michaels, those 3sixteen sidezips, anything from yuketen...

I'm a fan of big pants, but for the top portion... button up, sweater, maybe even throw in a light jacket as a midlayer. Or you could always take it in the elegant, old, costumey direction... Or go for margot tenenbaum with one of those lacoste polo dress things... or just go weird with it and wear all your craziest pieces

Heeled little ankle boots/low-cut booties and big black sunglasses. Maybe a blazer with the sleeves rolled up or a big camo scarf wrapped around my arms leaving my shoulders exposed. slouchy beige allsaints mini tote. Black dress black sheer tights and black platform Mary Janes with a chunky block heel if I have somewhere to go

- Cargo pants of lightweight denim — double knees, 10 pockets, four loops. Light enough to wear in the summer and baggy enough to be warm in the winter. The easiest thing in my wardrobe to reach for.
- Beat up Cradle of Filth t — extremely lewd. Perfect for every day.
- Terrycloth hoodie with unzippable components. No hood? Yes. No sleeves? Yes. She’s almost as old as me!
- Oversized cotton flannel made from several old flannels (all of them zip apart). An extra layer for all occasions.
- Tabi boots (unfortunately). They are poorly constructed and don’t stay done up, but I can walk 15 km in them without pain and they’re just so much fun! My day off shoe.

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
