Where?

Too short?
I want to get nicer clothes and have a whole fashion makeover.
I know what I want mostly, but the problem is Im a small dude.
5'7 125lbs. 1/4 Asian (I put that because its apparent im not white)
Everything I find that I like in stores like Express,Bannana Republic, Armani,etc its too big. I try to the find the smallest jackets and such but they come down almost to my knees it seems.
I like to form fitting clothes as I am pretty muscley (think Bruce Lee).
Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Too short?
Topman has a wider choice of fitting on their clothes, such as short, medium, & long leg dimensions for each waist size.

Burton also tends to do this.
OP what sort of style are you after?

Re: Too short?
I'm only a little bit bigger than you and full asian, and I don't have that much of a problem. If I can actually find a small among all the L and XL sizes, it usually fits.
Usually the higher end stuff is tailored for smaller guys rather than the obese american. I'm surprised Armani is too big for you. I have a BR jacket (small) and it fits really well. I don't know if you have a short torso or what. Mexx and Zara pants fit me well. Hugo Boss jackets are always nice. Look for Boss Orange or Red.

I like girls to be around 5'7, but I'm fairly tall.

Re: Too short?
Stop fucking shopping at Big and Tall.
5'7 is pretty average.

Re: Too short?
Yep- I'm only 5'9ish and I'm (gasp) ALL white-man, who's weight varies depending on how much he eats compared to how much he smokes in a given week. I dunno man, I find stylish and/or well-made clothes are generally made for people my size, and you're not much smaller. Maybe the area you live in is densely populated with Shaqs and Yao Mings?

Re: Too short?
Maybe it's just that I dont like the sizing then or not used to it.
Until recently I wore a lot of tight (form fitting) shirts from Affliction, Dirtbag, etc. Along with my band t-shirts and normal jeans.
I never liked "baggy" shirts or anything that came below my waist.
Ill Keep looking around.

Re: Too short?
5'9 is the world male avg. maximum height [i.e. not including people who aren't fully grown], IIRC.
I'm 5'7 and I don't find it too hard to get fitting clothes.
You know the line around the shoulder of clothing? For something to fit properly, that should be around just above the little V shape bone on your shoulder, a few inches from your neck.
Anyway, a lot of the time in fancy shops, they'll only have out the most common sizes. Ask an assistant if they have more sizes. My friends used to work in a H&M store and she told me that they do that. A lot of the time the fat/very tall/short clothes end up being bought more quickly.

Re: Too short?
I dont like most of the Affliction.
It has too much going on with them.
I have like 3 total and they are pretty plain.
Its the length of the suits and such that get to me. They come down to my knees almost and I hate that.

Re: Too short?
I don't know what look you're going for bro...
But if you're buying those douchey, leather, business/club/casual, "I work in the Financial by day, party downtown by night, and always look smooth in my MB/BMW/Whatever" from Armani or any of those bouige italian stores, then you're just asking to look stupid.
Of course they go down to your knees, they're made for meathead, gym rat, guido dickheads. "JAAAAGAAAH BOMBS!!!!"
..... Nevermind, I just looked up all the clothes you said you already have. You're obviously going for the douchebag look.
As a Hapa brother who doesn't dress like a complete prick, I have nothing to help you.

Short=small dick.
You probally don't need to worry about impressing the ladies as they already know you can't please them.

Do you know this because you have a fetish for midget cock?
Or is it just anecdotal from all those one night stands?

That's why you try it on.
I'm small and slight, the smalls are a bit too big at some times...
