What’s up guys? I normally don’t talk about this kind of stuff but I’ve had some guys asking about looking sharp as a skinny guy until they are able to put on some weight and build muscle. Trust me. Ladies love when a guy dresses sharp. Look at Justin Timberlake. When he was really skinny, girls still loved him cause he has a fashion sense.
Here are some rules to live by until you build muscle from skinnyguysmanifesto.com.

What is worse than seeing a skinny guy wearing an over sized suit with pleated pants? Well… ? Can’t think of anything? Neither can I. It breaks my heart to see a poorly dressed
skinny guy walking down the street, on their way to an interview, to the office or to a date. Over the past few months I have observed too many fashion disasters by skinny guys. Seriously, I have cried over these.
These fashion train wrecks are partly due to the economics of fashion. Not enough supply of extra smalls to fulfill the need. However, it can equally be attributed to skinny guys not knowing how to dress their body type. There are two keys to successful dressing:
1) Knowing what clothes work for your body type
2) A great tailor.
Besides looking on Yelp to find a great tailor in your area, I am happy to list of the top ten things to know about skinny guy fashion. Keep in mind there is always room for interpretation, but these rules should be rarely, if ever, broken.
- NO PLEATS! No excuses.
- Skinny ties are a great choice. With a small frame sometimes regular ties can look like a bib. Choose a skinny time that fits your build better and makes you look wider in all the right places.
- Find a belt that fits. Wrap a belt around your waist twice is bad. BAD. Also, punching extra holes with a knife to make the belt fit is unfathomable. Invest in a brown and black belt that actually fits. They are hard to find but it is a challenge worth the reward.A “little big” is a red flag. If the clothes do not fit, do not buy them (or even accept free ones) because if an item is even just a little too big, it will make you look even smaller. Think of a kid wearing his dad’s suit coat. Fit is key!
- Small watches and accessories. Find small metal bracelets and a small watch. Diesel and Fossil have great watches that fit on the skinny guy’s wrist. You don’t want to spend all day shaking your arm trying to keep your watch below your elbow.
- Pinstripes make you look like a stripper pole. Having pinstriped clothes are a great way for bigger people to look thinner. It is an optical illusion. however, when skinny guys wear pinstripe pants, you appear even thinner, taller and resembling a pole-like structure.
- Straight and boot cut only. Pleated pants make you look like you are wearing a diaper. Try Bonobos, a company who prides themselves on flat front, fitted pants for the slim guy.
- Jackets should hit your hip. After the age of 5 it is not cute to wear your dad’s suit coats. If your jacket is hits lower than your hip, you look like a child (See Rule #4).
- Small shoulder pads. Yes, shoulder pads went out in the late 80’s. However, find suites that have small shoulder pads. This will provide a more defined upper body proportion. Make sure the shoulder pads do not go past your actual shoulder more than 0.5 inches. If it does, the shoulder pads are too large (See Rule #4).
- Well fitting layers. Wearing layers will help you achieve a more full and complete look. You get the effect of added body weight while staying warm while adding texture and flair to your wardrobe.
However, the verdict is still out on one area. Is it okay for skinny guys to wear skinny jeans. Thoughts?

The answer to skinny jeans is it depends. What’s your style and how confident are you wearing it? If you can’t rock them without looking like a wuss then skip those, just don’t go baggy legged either.
