I got a slim fit CK dress shirt from Ross, and it's definitely my size, but I find that they have an odd amount of extra material in the bicep and upper pectoral area. Are these shirts designed for buff people with large chests and biceps? The material distribution is a lot different than my other "standard" dress shirts.

I've been wearing the same jeans for decades - Levi 550 relaxed fit. Wife has been trying to dress me up, but it's hard for me to see myself in designer jeans and a v-neck sweater.
Typically wear chinos and a golf shirt (white crew tee underneath) 80% of the time, button down otherwise. Casual attire is usually aforementioned jeans with crew neck pullover/golf shirt/button down untucked and slip on casual shoes.
What does a 6' 200 lb (33/34) 42 yr old wear to be in style?

Puma, Adidas and Nike offer some pretty stellar kicks. I have six different pairs of shoes from these places that all fit different color schemes. I had a roommate in college that was all about shoes and he had one of those closet racks absolutely full. We're talking 15+ pairs of shoes. He was always very well-dressed.
When I was about 10 years old I used to have these red pleated shorts. Red pleated shorts. They were awesome.

I realize you're gay, that's fine. What do you think manly men should wear then? I'm thinking something along the size of Home Improvement Al - jeans and lumberjack shirt, or khakis and a checkered shirt, perhaps burberry?

I'm not trexxy. I think Burberry can be cute in some scenarios -- like scarves that don't look like they've been manufactured out of China. But, I am not paying $200+ for a shirt that doesn't look that good and always has the same print. Manly men? No such thing as a "Fashion for manly men" lol. The cheap version is what I said above: try on clothes that look good on you in those high end places and look for cheaper versions at say Walmart/KMart if they have them. Hell, H&M is good, too.

Bro, pretty simple. Jeans, heavy long-sleeved button down cotton shirt with an undershirt, wool boot socks and boots. Wear a Carhartt jacket when you're working and a pea coat when you're not. If you're a manly man then you won't be wearing the pea coat. Ever. In the summer, you wear jeans, a light cotton long-sleeve button down shirt with an undershirt so you can take the overshirt off when you're working dirty and not emasculate the sissies working for you, some manner of moisture-wick sock and boots.

Ties are sort of ebbing out of fashion the last 6 months or so. At the office I see a lot less ties than earlier in the year, if anyone cares about these trends. If you are going to wear a tie, get one that is good quality silk, dont get a blend with a print. I recommend canali, zegna, brooks brothers, hugo boss. Also, try it on and tie it with a half windsor, if you cant get the tail into the keeper the tie is too short.
Another thing that is "in" now is not wearing belts, and instead using those cinch pants on the inside. If you are slim and have good fitting clothes this can look great. If you wear a belt, make sure you get it sized properly, the buckle should rest in the middle hole of the belt, not on either end.

Im a huge fan of the pants splorge is talking about, but have yet to come across any good one for reasonable money. If anyone has any ideas on where to pick some up I'd love to know.
Also ties are perfect items to buy online as you can frequently get high quality ties for more than 1/2 off.

Manly dress should only be relegated to doing "manly" stuff.
For example, I just chainsawed a couple of logs to make some really rustic seats for one of the fire pits outside. Pendleton Shirt, well fit Carharts with a Carhart jacket and flat toed Durango boots. Cowboy hat optional. Make sure your shit is actually used and doesn't just look used or brand new or people like me will laugh at you.
The ladies swooon (and Brokeback Mountain jokes begin).

My counterpoint to that is tuxedos which have side tabs. Also if your shirt and pants fit well, (Dennis Reynolds voice) "It's a very sleek look."

Has anyone ordered a shirt from Shirt.Woot recently? My favorite graphic tees were from there, but the last time I ordered was years ago when American Apparel made the shirts. The thing I liked about their shirts (other than the graphics) was that they were long and slim, with narrower sleeves, in contrast to most graphic tees in the USA which are short and wide to accommodate fat people. From their FAQ, the shirts are being made by Woot now, so I'm curious if the style has changed at all.
