Classy clothes that don't fuck with my sensory issues? (feddit.dk)

I am a large (2XL) male that would like to dress better. But every time I find classy clothes that make me look more professional it's just a sensory nightmare. Rough fabrics, too tight in places, hard for the skin to breathe in, etc.

I need something other than baggy black t-shirts and soft jeans.

Have you men found classy clothes that make you look professional but is still comfortable to wear?

It depends on how much better you want to dress. Some "Fishing Shirts" can be a big step up from a simple tee, while not being grossly uncomfortable.

Wearing one now! I'm not sensitive to clothing, but damn, water shirts are nice and cheap. Got a bunch for $1 each at the beach on sale.

I always wear one to keep the sun off me when I'm in the water all day and I've noticed they're what landscaping guys wear around here.
