Interesting idea. I'd be curious to see how they do for you. If you try it, post up some pics for us to see, k?

Save your money, look at style magazines of what looks good, post pics here, get FREE style advice from us and THEN spend your money on what YOU actually look good in

I would start by looking at celebs that have similar body type and facial structure - then look at what clothes they wear and how they style their hair/facial hair - and do that to start

Then when you get more fit from your 30 day challenge with KB, can buy more clothes that fit you better and it will be a reward for you keeping on point with diet/health stuff


-my take


And if you want, pm me when you do start posting pics of you in clothes you are thinking about getting, link me, and I will give you my take on it -- if you want

Look at the brands they offer. They seem to have a fairly limited selection. You are probably much better off just going to stores and trying on stuff. Will take much less time than shipping stuff back and forth to them.

Also, Earlier you mentioned you wear t-shirts to hide excessive hair. You need to manscape. If you need to hide it, time for a trim. Make it neat. Some clippers and keep it manageable. When you starting bringing girls home, they will prefer a well groomed guy. That does not mean you have to shave everything, but keep it neat.

The first thing you need to put the clippers on is your head. You're balding and that's not sexy. But if you shave it then it looks like you did it on purpose and it can work to your advantage. (And I mean shave it...don't buzz it or you'll just look like a guy who's going bald and cut what little he had left real short)

Take a look at Jason Statham and see what he does... he has balding hair but he still looks good. He hasn't gone full shave which I think is a good idea. Google his pic to see, his hair has transitioned further than yours but he's pulling it off. Think his darker hair colour works for him too.

Agreeing with what others said about the polos. Ditch them, they are horrible.

When Bravo and I were losing weight, texting a picture of every meal helped so much. You and Kid Brock should exchange numbers. Keeps you accountable and makes it a competition to see who can make better healthy food. Makes it more fun.

Just don't but tomatoes and broccoli together, they're never going to let me live that down.

Excercise is important but diet is the majority of what is going to help you lose weight. So if injuries are limiting your workout, focus on diet.

This is going to sound strrange, but the best way to get great fashion advice that women will love is to find a gay guy to help you at stores. Every time I've done that, I've gotten compliments galore from women.

Cupid has a gay fashion guy that regularly holds clothes for him and sometimes I'm like, yeah definitely gay dude picked that one. Then we go out and girls love his clothes.

You mentioned AE, you aren't in high school anymore so stop thinking you should dress like that.

As for the weight, dark colors are better. Graphic tees are fine. Avoid stripes.

For jeans, you can buy bigger ones that work for your legs, then have them fitted at the waist and ankles. To do this on the cheap, since you are in Roswell, there are tons of asian dry cleaners that will take in pants and hem for next to nothing. Way cheaper than having them altered at a jeans place.

Don't be afraid to try clothes that you aren't used to. Get women and gay guys to help you at stores.

As for accesories, don't go overboard. One or two things is plenty. Nothing worse than playing spot the PUA and seeing the guy with a ring on every finger, a necalace, a fedora, etc.
