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?

Have you tried silk dress shirts?

I also hate wearing monkey suits due to sensory issues. But silk feels nice. Not quite as breathable, tho. But the roughness of more common fabrics for those kind of shirts is way more irritating than getting a bit hot inside the clothes.
