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?

If you're looking for shirts, I only feel comfortable wearing ones with french cuffs and would recommend them highly.

Normal cuffs irritate me no end, they're tight , they move and jab against my skin constantly.

French cuffs with nice solid cufflinks are looser, soft-edged, and have a nice weight to them that stops them moving so much.

    Good recommendation. I tend to be most comfortable rolling up sleeves to my forearm, but I wonder whether this might also help.

    Do you have a favourite pair of cufflinks?

    Ha, I do!

    They are chunky metal squares (at a guess 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.5cm) with the Transformers faction symbols tastefully engraved into them. Autobots for the right wrist, Decepticons for the left, natch.
