Clothes…I’ve been a big guy…think 100 lbs overweight. I am on the GLP. It’s been 18 months of eating, walking, weight training and now cardio. It has changed my life. Where does everyone buy men’s clothes? I’m embarrassed to ask. It’s always been “whatever fits…basically a potatoe sack”. Any suggestions. I’ve been at Macys, Target etc. I want to feel sharp.

Congratulations on the weight loss, that's incredible! I know how difficult it is, good for you for sticking with it. A lot of people think it's easy just because you're using medication, but you still have to do the work. You just have a little bit more support. As far as clothing, my husband is a big fan of Burlington and Ross. The prices are great and the selection is really good as well.

I feel amazing and now I’m noticing what everyone wears. I will check those places out. Thank you!

Congrats on this huge accomplishment!! Seriously not an easy thing to do. My husband loves to shop at Nordstrom Rack, Target, and Uniqlo (online) for good-fitting casual wear. And then he'll go to J Crew, Nordstrom (or the Rack again), or Everlane (online) for some nicer menswear. It's all about finding the brands that fit your body type though. Again, congrats!

I’ve heard Uniglo mentioned twice this week. I have a store close to me. Headed to J Crew. I feel amazing!

Totally recommend the gap brands. Banana republic factory is my go to for sharp looking clothes. You can freely purchase multiple sizes online and find the right fit. And once you find a fit you like, you can order with confidence

Listen…just know those dressing rooms don’t have normal lighting! Take a step out and take a look in another mirror further away. Be proud of yourself & don’t over analyze every little thing. It will take a while to find a new style. Also, men’s Lulu lemon I’ve heard is great!

For my nicer stuff I like Mizzen & Main and Brooks Brothers. For more casual like jeans and chinos I like J Crew. Under Armour stuff fits me pretty well so I get most of my shorts either online or local sporting goods stores that carry it

Thank you for the suggestions. I have never heard of them bu they look very nice! I’ve lost the weight, I’m splurging!

Congrats on the weight loss!!

Thank you!

Don't be embarrassed, its great that you are taking care of yourself and are now in a position that you need to buy new clothes. I have always found Express to have a great selection and their stuff is quality. Plus they always have a sale so you can get things at a great price.
