The problem i isually run into are the shirts that "teepee" below the chest. Know what i mean? I have a broad frame and usually have to get plus sizes for mobility in the arms and shoulders but everything droops out inches from my waist lol. Tried tucking shirts in but it looked super goofy
Get handy with a cheap sewing machine, just enough to take in the sides of those t shirts. It's easy enough, I can do it.
Makes me wish i paid more attention in Home-ec lol. Im pretty sure i could youtube some lessons0 -

I like men in good jeans from places like Frame or All Saints. Black. Good sneakers that are kept clean, a nice pocket tee, leather jacket, beard, and good hair cut. And some muscles.0

Most department stores sell shirts that are athletic cut...meaning they are tapered at the waist and fuller in the chest and arms for broader shoulders. Those should work for your shape.0 -
sorry, didn't realize someone already posted my answer...just wanted to add...my dad was a ginger, and my daughter is one...hot pink on a man with red hair! love it. Purple and green are great as well as navy and black. I love me a ginger...heavy sigh

@abrubru I never really saw myself in hot pink. I love dark green and purple but i always imagined hot pink to mix better with swarthy complexions. And yes, always love a ginger lol0 -
"Looking for some new duds and wondering what the opposite sex likes to see a man wear"
Its been said already, but wear things that you feel comfortable in. Jeans and t-shirts are fine. Pick styles that fit you well and are flattering. A little bit of "personality" in your clothing is great too.
"I was thinking of "reimaging" myself"
Nothing wrong with trying out new stuff, try on things that you may not usually choose and see if you like it. You will get a feel whether it is a comfortable choice for you or not.1 -
If your looking for good fitting t-shirts check out next level apparel. I have a problem with t-shirts. Larges are normally to small and extra large is normally a blanket on me. The next level shirts have a tapered athletic fit. I am able to wear a XL and it fits nicely in the arms and waist. I'm 6ft 230lbs with a 44" chest and a 36" waist currently.1

Just don't take it to far. You wouldn't want to be treated as a piece of man meat now would you.1 -

100% honesty? I used to covet that kind of attention. There's something flattering about being objectified by the opposite sex, but Ive learned that while that guy gets a lot of attention, no one takes him serious. I quite like my dignity intact0 -

The styles in the pics are fine, except:
No skinny jeans. I hate them. Many other women hate them. Some like them, but the majority do not. I'm talking about women in their 30's and 40's when I express this hatred for skinny jeans on men. It's possible younger women may feel differently...you're 29 so my opinion may not be the most relevant on this. I suspect the types that like man buns (I detest them with a passion) would also like skinny jeans. But I am not friends with any women who like man buns so can't say for sure.
The cardigan in the first pic is something I would really hate to see on a man. Granted, tastes vary based on the person, but it seems much too effeminate to me. The only man who ever looked right in a cardigan was Mr. Rogers. If you aren't Mr. Rogers and you're cold, put on a jacket, or a hoodie, or a real sweater...don't grab your girlfriend's cardigan!!!
In general, jeans are fine as long as they fit well. Fitted T-shirts work well. If you want a slightly dressier (but can be casual also) look, button down shirts are always great. Slim fit looks better on many men. Don't tuck in.
Check out Ralph Lauren...they have some great shirts.
Finally, don't wear running shoes unless you actually expect to be running. Shoes are important.0 -

Not a faux pas, but it's just really, really casual. Just putting on a different pair of shoes will really upgrade the entire look. With nicer shoes and dark wash jeans, you can go almost anyplace except for the most formal occasions. Good shoes just make you look very put together.0 -
I like guys in sneakers...but like Nike Air Max, yeezys, Jordans ultraboost, etc. all kept clean and shiny0

generally, yes.
instead, opt for a casual sneaker
jack purcell by converse (in black leather) is a go to for me
also... check out: Greats
bumping around town, it's leather Vans:

I'm really liking reading the men's advice on menswear, you guys seem to have some really good taste and excellent suggestions for dressing a man's body (go figure!)0

Ironically, I never wear pick--not necessarily because I don't like it (even though I don't)--but more because my dad wore it so much I associate it as a male color. Weird, right? He was 6'4" though and most people didn't argue with him.0 -
I don't think it matters a LOT what you wear, as long as it fits and is appropriate. Chances are good that I won't notice a man's clothes most of the time, but I WILL notice if his jeans are a little too short, if his shirt is wrinkly, or if he's wearing shorts and flip-flops at a nice restaurant.
I prefer men to keep their fashion simple, I guess. My favorite, favorite outfit on my husband is jeans and a white button-down shirt, untucked and rolled at the elbow. Yowza.0 -

Tshirt, jeans, and some nice sneakers.
Throw on a baseball cap.
Or a button down shirt.
Just as long as everything fits nice. A tailor is your best friend when it comes to your wardrobe!0 -

That's actually total cornerstone man casual clothing. The reason you like it is because it works and it's timeless. That's literally outfit #1 on any decent men's style site. It just works.
re5pext.
timeless rules.
clothing that doesn't look like a billboard is imperative
I've been on dates (not 1st ones) wearing just Levis, a white t-shirt and great shoes0
