    Question: what is a less autism summer outfit for a guy?

    Inb4 “You can also wear a summer dress” - no. I don’t want to.

            That’s not true. You don’t need to mimic the model you can buy the clothes, try them on and see if you like them on you. If you don’t send them back. The best pair of shorts I have is modelled by an Asian dude and he’s like an ordinary looking individual and then those pants are the same as I have and they’re modelled by that guy.

            Skin tone, height and body type is what you should be focusing on for a comparison. Trying to mimic a model, will always leave you feeling discouraged. Also if you know what already looks good on you, roll with that and do variations and shit. That’s a style right there. I can do plain and boring but I can wear a button up and a slim cut pair of jeans with a regualr nice shirt.

            I can wear anythig that I think looks good on me. That’s not confidence (or autism), it’s just I have a renewed sense of fuck it all in life and why the fuck should I care what anyone thinks about how I look? If it looks good to me, feels good to me and fits well, ☝🏻 while also not making people around me uncomfortable, then I’m gonna wear it. And you can do the same homie.

              Oh I like the way I dress. I make an effort to look my best but Im saying that they use models to make the clothes as appealing as they can. It was mostly a self-depricating joke.

        What, a shirt and khaki shorts? Or are the beautiful blond curls part of the outfit?

      Browse through the summer look book of a designer you like. Ralph Lauren, or maybe Drakes are pretty inoffensive and safe bets for a classic look. Both are expensive brands, but you’re only buying inspiration anyway.

      My own personal advice, for what it’s worth. Not inclusive of all social situations, but…

      If they’re long pants, they’re linen. If they’re short pants, shorter inseams look a little more fashionable than knee length cargo shorts.

      If they’re long sleeves, they’re linen. If they’re short sleeves, then something that has a collar.

      Shoes are of the boat variety, or sandals.

      My uncle says men should never show their bare legs or feet in public, though you should probably decide that for yourself.

        Bold of you to assume I’ve heard of any designer or even know what a summer look book is supposed to be (I guess the name is quite self explanatory).

      My mild take is that there’s nothing wrong with that outfit.

      You could probably do a non-tshirt top, like a breezy short sleeve button down or more relaxed top. Maybe non khaki colored shorts, but it’s fine as is.
