I hate shopping for dress clothes because I'm tall and skinny. It is impossible to find a dress shirt in 17 - 37 or pants in 34-36. If I was about 5'8" and 240 pounds I'd have the pick of the litter. It's aggrivating going to outlet stores and department stores and having nothing in my size. I asked a saleswoman yesterday to please find me some shirts in my size and of all of the shirts they sold in the store they could only find 3 shirts.

Can anyone recommend a good place to get some button down shirts and nice pants for work? Dont say big and tall stores because they cater mostly to severly overweight people. I tried stopping by some and everything is cut for someone who is 300 pounds.

Maybe I should just add an extra 60 lbs.

Check out your local thrift store. If you are afraid of cooties have everything cleaned before you wear it.

I doubt you'd want to wear clothes from a thrift store for business
