So I've started to pay way more attention to how I dress, and making sure things fit me correctly and it's been a great improvement. When it comes to summer, I wanted to start a thread where guys can post the types of things you like to wear. Let's talk shirts, shorts, and footwear. Posting links to the actual products you've bought recently would be really helpful.
Whatcha' got?

Maybe it's just me, but if I didn't buy another Polo/Golf type shirt again I could probably be ok with that.
I wish I saw more single color short sleeve oxford type button up shirts, those seem to work for me pretty well.
I'm no style icon, so YMMV, but I'm not a fan of:
Shorts I see so many guys wearing, the ones that run way down to or past your knees.
Same with swim trunks. I'm not saying you gotta get a speedo, but don't wear swim shorts so long they would be called capris on a woman lol
When I was fatter I used to cover myself up, wearing XL t-shirts because I was so round in the middle. Now that I'm 20 lbs better, I can wear L or M. Another 15-20 and it'll be all Mediums probably.
There used to be a good mens threads thread, but I think it disappeared along with its starter a while back.
The whole concept of looking good is to stand out without being distracting.
Wash it on hot and dry it on high!
That's what the skinny guys do to say they fill out a large.
We nicknamed a young guy at the gym 'extra medium' for using this trick.
Wearing a a small shows a little padding around the mid section but highlights the new found muscle in my shoulders and makes my arms stand out a bit more.
I have a couple very light long sleeve t's I'll wear on cooler evenings in small but they are a little uncomfortable. My biceps are 15" (working on that) but my forearms are just over 13". I find that the long sleeves are a little too tight on my forearms (I think I'm some kind of freak).
All my shorts (mostly khaki/cargo)are too big in the waist and although I can wear a belt, I would rather not. I will be looking for better (read, more form fitting) shorts in the upcoming weeks.
As for footwear, I have no fashion sense whatsoever. I really need help in this area. Any takers??
My favorites on men in shorts are the slip-on plimsolls, moccasins, and boat shoes. Sandals are only acceptable for pool/lake/beach imo.

None of these should be ratty and gross though, and for god's sake, PLEASE use sneaker balls if you wear them without the little socks. Smelly feet and shoes are just super unattractive.
Also plimsolls > canvas shoes? What about with jeans? What color is preferable?
I don't feel old enough to wear penny loafers or moccasins.
