Having a good figure always helps, but the fit of your suit can still make you look great no matter what kind of figure you have. I don't think nii is fat by any means, but he's not model proportioned either, and his suits look impeccable. If the suit fits YOU, it doesn't matter so much what your figure is, and there's no reason to think you can't pull off seersucker just because you're not thin.
This might be helpful, from GQ re: heavy set guys and suits:
1) Wear a pocket square. It brings the focus to your chest, not your gut.
2) Keep your jacket buttoned unless you’re sitting down.
3) Wear a simple, elegant shirt. Avoid plaids and checks.
4) You can wear flat-front pants. They are engineered to be comfortable, even without pleats.
5) Avoid superskinny ties and lapels. Proportion with your torso is key.

^^^ That's probably close enough
Especially for the price, you probably wouldn't find anything similar for cheaper.

^ I've been in the market for em recently
J Crew- I was told their slim fit chinos are only available online, doesn't work for me because I wanna try them on
American Eagle- I've never owned anything from here. Went in and loved their fits on these, more like 514s. Bought a grey pair and a navy pair, and snagged a khaki pair as well
These are dope if you like that "weathered" look, I'd call it
Urban Outfitters- They're joints look dope online, these are much more fitting though
Keep hearing about H&M, I'd check them out in store, cheap too

Anybody know of some jeans that have more crotch space, but fit like levi's 511's?
I've put a lot of weight on my thighs and butt, so I can't fit any of my 511's anymore and I don't feel like sizing up 2 more sizes because of how awkward I feel they'll fit (my calves aren't muscular enough to fill the bottom part of the jeans) So yea, anybody got some suggestions?

Saw the trailer for Crazy Stupid Love last week and some of Goslings fits are
I straight ripped one of his outfits in the movie for my graduation and I really loved the look.
Black pants with brown shoes FTW.
But really, I want a jean jacket.
Tell me how I can pull this off.
My immediate thoughts are to check out Levis, any other suggestions?

^ true, but imo you get what you paid for. And 2 years ago, their stuff wasn't as pricey as it is now.

Why is it priced so high? Is it part of the LVC collection? Just go to macy's and get one of their lower priced ones.Originally Posted by mondaynightraw

Vanishing elephant makes a similar shoe. Around $200 but they pop up on gilt every once in a while. I have blue suede ones and olive leather if you want pics.Edit: check top man or all saints. Those shoes have the grungy worn look.

To dude who asked about jean jackets,
when I wear mine, I tend to wear heather grey, white, or a dark navy blue inside
coupled with khaki colored pants, only. I'm not daring enough to try other colors.

No socks, unless I'm wearing them with jeans and even then it's black socks that barely show. I don't wear white socks at all anymore

Generaiya would recommend that you contact Gilt Customer Service via phone or Twitter. They are very accommodating.

You think they'll give them back to me?
I didn't even know I had them and it expired in May and June.
