OK, im finally getting clothes that "fit" me, as opposed to wearing everything baggy.

However, im in a dilemma. I have stretchmarks on my arms, inside my biceps, some reaching to the inside of my elbow. I've always worn t-shirts big so the longer sleeves always at least reach to my elbows. Now however, clothes that "fit" my new shape naturally have shorter sleeves...and as such dont reach my elbows.

So...what looks worse? Really baggy clothes, but that cover my arms, or clothes that fit properly, but dont cover to my elbows? I know that im thinking that everyone will see my stretchmarks, when they probably wont, but i just get get my mind to accept it!

Help?

    Women generally have to worry about this with all their sleeveless clothes, but I can't think of a single short sleeve shirt I have where the sleeves don't come to the elbow. Hard to believe England would be much different. But then again, European clothes do tend to be a bit tighter for the men.

    My guess is you are more aware of it than others. That said you could buy 3/4 length sleeves or now that the seasons are changing, long sleeved Ts.

    Sorry, I didn't realize you are a male. With that in mind, I wouldn't worry and buy clothes that fit, including short sleeve Ts.
