I think the real question here is why are you not embarrassed about having the same shoe size as your wife....

After spending most of your life fat, it's a great feeling to walk into any clothing store and know that you can fit into pretty much anything there.
Not sure if you were serious with this or not, but as a former fatty myself, I can't even describe how much more fun fashion is now that I'm not fat. It's so great to look at style, color, etc. of a garment before worrying about the size. As a fatty, the first thing you look at is size and only then can you start to think about appearance, and usually you have dramatically fewer options.

Homsar, you dress pretty metrosexually. Is that even a term anymore? I haven't heard it used in like 7 years. You are either gay or metro, and I don't care, but embrace it bro.
What do I wear on my feet in the summer? FUCKING SHOES. I wear some obnoxious neon orange reeboks I have, or neon blue zigs, or just plain old regular black reeboks.
The only other person in this thread that has confirmed he has worn crocs also said he was ashamed of himself in the same sentence. I can't help but cringe when I see crocs. 100x worse than white socks and jesus sandals... we had a kid in highschool who wore white socks and jesus sandals and also sweatpants. One day he had a boner so we started calling him Boner Moses. Don't let your kids grow up knowing their dad is the Boner Moses of Crocs.

Oh I'm well aware. Just haven't figured out something that I cared enough about to stick too. Will get there eventually, probably.

My general rule of thumb for our 90-105 degree heat with 90% humidity in the summer is to wear white or black shirts, purely from the perspective that they show sweat marks less obviously. Colors tend to be super obvious that you are sweating your balls off.
But as far as style, I guess I'm a typical dude in my mid-30s. Polos (cotton or poly blend which are cooler/lighter) and khaki shorts. I try to avoid long sleeves or jeans unless its night time. I just generally hate sweating, I'd rather dress down and not sweat than be fashionable and sweating my balls off. Nothing looks good if it's wet from sweat. 99% of my t-shirts are sport team related.
Those Adidas poly-blend golf polos are damn nice. Look good, you can't wrinkle them if you tried, and are really cool(temperature) in extreme heat. I've got like 10 different ones, love em. They also look a little more like cotton, they aren't all shiny and slick like typical polyester shit.

In the summer here in Arkansas I'm about 90% flip flops, mostly an old pair that I got from Bonobos years ago. Need to get a new set. Pair of cream / khaki color shorts and usually hit up target at the beginning of the season for a few of their 3 for $30 or whatever Mossimo v-necks, solid color maybe 1 or two prints if I'm feeling sassy.
Yeah we recently re did almost all our work shirts in the newest Nike golf whatever material polos and they're great. I'd wear that out if it wasn't branded with the company logo.

I have 1 of these, and they are so awesome. You can't wrinkle it if you tried. It's awesome.

I guess it's mostly pants that I don't know what to do about. Jeans are fine but it's gonna get hot soon. I'm not 15 anymore and don't want to wear cargo shorts, but everything that isn't cargo shorts that I looked at JCPenny today looked kind of gay, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
I don't/won't wear polo shirts, but am not opposed to the v-neck idea for some stuff.
Homsar that shirt is actually nice, but holy shit why does it have 300 buttons.

Although I don't shop there JC Penny has updated their clothing line and it looks fairly modern these days. They're pretty well known (well almost every major clothing company) for basically utilizing slave labor to make their garments, though.

Ill get vests and stuff from jcp....
as far as me being gay or metro, how does that come from wearing v-neck, raglan, converse, and cargo shorts? I dont care, just odd since most people buy a lot of that stuff other than raglan t shirts.
My simple rule of thumb is "If it is advertised with 1000 pins holding in the back on a black mannequin don't buy it"
Various reasons:
Quality is always shit. Never without fail it is shit.
Trend != style. Find your style don't chase trends.
Will never fit nearly as good as advertised since the garment is pinned and altered for the models.
Made overseas in sweatshop conditions.
I buy fewer higher quality clothes so I'm not constantly dumping shit in the landfill. These will last a season at most if they don't go out of fashion first.
