Transcript

Big guys can't wear cropped tees. Say less. Some skinny guy told me that big guys can't wear cropped tees. Let's wear a cropped tee. First, we're going to start off with these baggy camo utility pants from Abercrombie. I sized up a little bit in the waist so I can wear them at my true waistline. Now, as a big guy, I like to smooth everything out a little bit, so I use compression wear. This specific tank from a brand called Tusq. They are the best. Now you know. Now here's the biggest reason big guys feel like they can't wear a cropped shirt. Usually they're wearing their pants down to here. If you wear your pants at your true waistline, your belly's not going to spill out underneath the cropped tee. For the shoes, the New Balance NB 5000. Way better than an Air Max. Then we'll toss on the coolest belt around. This is from a brand called Lizard Tail and personally it's my favorite go-to for a quick, easy, minimal belt that's super adjustable. And for the main attraction, we're going to go with this heavyweight slub cropped tee from Abercrombie. Here, just to prove it's cropped. And then we'll top it off with one of my favorite caps. And there you have it. A clean, casual fit with a cropped tee as a big guy. Wear what you want. Just make the proportions work. What rule should I break next? We'll see you.
