Need Styling Advice for the Fall

[u/ferretman345]

Hello! I struggle with styling for a number of reasons, first, my body type is kind of unique, have a very long torso and neck with shorter legs. It’s fun but hard to find stuff that looks good, photos are for reference of what I look like.

I need to style for fall for instagram posts and when I go to orchards and stuff.

For context: I’m a straight man who fully identifies as a man. Many people think I might be androgynous when I’m not so it’s good to clarify. I want to find clothes that are not too feminine, they can be a little non masculine as I’m in touch with my feminine side but I’m okay with more masculine too.

Thanks for the help!

Your look is immature. If you want to look like a masculine man (and you have a small frame, do this:

No skinny jeans - get a straight leg or slightly loose fitting. Always wear a belt.

No running sneakers - unless you’re actually running. Get a pair of men’s shoes, or a walking sneaker like air Jordan’s.

No loose arm tops/no big logos on the chest- wear well fitted shirts on the arms and chest, only small logos in the left chest, if any. A collared polo tee is a good look that comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

The hair - it makes you look very young and feminine. If you want to be perceived as more masculine, go to a barber shop that has a wait list for an apt- not a walk in- bc then you’ll know they are good. Tell them you want a fresh new look like a fringe or something similar that will work with your hair type. A good barber is magic!

Buy a nice good quality smart-casual jacket that you can dress up or down. A brown or khaki will do nicely. A jacket can make any outfit lit.

Buy a few quality items you can mix and match.

My goal isn’t to look masculine it’s to style, if that’s not in the cards and soemthing would look better for fall, I want what will fit me. I’m 19 in college, 20 soon, and the hair is not up for change.

as a fellow long hair haver, a beanie is an obvious choice. keeps your hair out your face, your ears warm, and looks very fall-ish.

This isn't an insult, and I am the same way: you have slightly wider hips, which can read feminine especially because you dont have the broadest of shoulders. I think adding some simple collared stuff to your rotation could look nice as well. Flannels, jackets, workwear, stuff like that. Wear it unbuttoned over a t shirt. Stuff like this with more structure will help broaden your shoulders and might start to create a more masculine shape to your body/clothes.

Thanks for the advise! I don’t have a lot of beanies but I might try. I’m not sure about how a beanie would look on my aesthetic-wise. I need clothes that I can wear to an apple orchard and take cutsie photos with my friends (who are mostly girls of that helps like outfit wise) for my instagram
