10 Fashion Tips For Skinny Guys
Written by Alex Marlin on October 31, 2007 – 3:16 am -When your thin, it is very important that you understand how to wear your clothes and look great. There are two different body types when we speak of thin people, you have thin and tall, the really skinny frame around six foot and over and the under six foot really small thin people type.
It doesn’t matter which body type you have, you will have to learn how to wear clothes that blends well with your posture and size. I have looked good in my clothing, because I never try to wear clothes that are made for bigger frames.
I have hereby researched the top ten reason how any thin person can definitely look much better and wear their clothes to fit their frame structure:
- Starting at the top of my list is the facial features, our face are very thin, and that is why we should always keep a clean face. Facial here tend to look really bad on skinny faces. If you plan on having facial hair, always have it well groomed and neatly trimmed it really shows character.
- Your shirt sizes should be made to fit your frame. Depending on your size, please try your shirts before you buy. Nothing looks worse than a thin framed person wearing a shirt that is XXL. The seam of you shirt isn’t supposed to be hanging on your arms, it makes you look like you got wind under your clothes and shows a small frame even more. Even worse is wearing a too small shirt, it makes your body look very dry. Another tip is to always wear an undershirt if your really thin, it hides your collar bone.
- For long sleeved shirts, make sure your shirt isn’t too long. We have longer arms, so look for a shirt that fits your arm length.
- Hey, guys I have seen this way too often, your thin, but it makes no sense wearing a belt that is way too big for you. Search around and purchase a belt that fits your waste size. Don’t bore extra holds in your belt with a scissor or a knife, ask at the store where your buying the belt if they can add extra hole, it just looks better.
- Briefs are out, get yourself some boxers. if your having a hard time finding your size boxer, go look in the petite section. Don’t feel bad, you will find a boxer that fits better or just buy a small size.
- Trousers are what makes us look great, because we have long limbs. Your legs are longer so you should find a pants that is long enough, make sure the pipe isn’t tight fit. It looks awful when you see a skinny person wearing a tightly fitted pair of pants. Your pants should always fall on you shoe line, not touching the ground either, or just get it fitted to your length.
- As far as shoes is concerned, I am into clean and neat looking shoes. Don’t wear shoes that are worn down on one side. Get yourself a new pair of shoes, every three to four months, that way you will have shoes that you can swap with. Don’t buy all black, use a little variation in colors and makes. Moccasins looks great on taller people. Once your shoes are getting old and worn, just toss them away and get yourself a new pair.
- Now, I am going to stress that thin people should wear lighter colors, it makes you look bigger in size. Don’t go too heavy on dark colors, wear them in contrast with lighter colors.
- Add a couple pounds to your skinny frame, it will make the difference. It will give your ego a boost, and you will walk with more style and confidence. Your clothes will even fit better. I also believed that I couldn’t gain weight but when I gained 15 pounds of pure muscles in just 6 weeks, I know that anyone can do it.
- Get some kind of exercise routine started, most skinny people are ashamed of showing off our body structure, but what is worse looking than a big pot belly, and I know skinny guys don’t gain weight in their mid section. A little exercise and our six pack will show very easily, because we already have a flat stomach.
I don’t believe in over feeding our kids, so thin kids can use the above dressing tips as well. You will learn to improve your own dress style as you go, just mix and match and listen to what people are saying about you. The more compliments you get about something that your wearing, continue to look for variations of that style of clothing.
Just get into fashion, skinny dressers looks great, once you get the hang of it. It makes no sense walking around looking like a scare crow, while we have the better body structures for the clothes that are very easy to fit. The above tips works just fine, I am walking proof that you can be skinny and look good at the same time.

Would Like To Say Thanks To A Reader
Written by Alex Marlin on October 30, 2007 – 2:26 am -How often will you run into one of your blog readers?
Well, I can say it happened to me today, and I was happy to see that people are really getting some kind of value out of reading my blog. I always say that if I can inspire one person to make a change and improve their lives, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.
The people of St. Maarten are filled with pride and many of us don’t speak out and would rather leave things as is. But your encounter today really inspired me to make this blog even better. I promised to not use names, so for now I will just call you Nola. You know who you are and appreciate your honesty, you fully understand what I am trying to accomplish with my blog. Stop staying up so late reading this stuff, it’s catchy.
I have to also say that I was shocked that you wanted to make a donation, it really shows that the people of St. Maarten is reading my blog and are actually impressed. Your donation is more than appreciated and I know many more readers will get value from my postings and someday soon, one of my readers will approach me and show me what they have accomplished from my postings.
Don’t think this is something foreign to me, I have been giving advice to a number of kids for years now. Just about a year and change back a prominent lawyer approached me, and told me that it is because of my words of wisdom that she is what she is today. Wow, I was stunned, and speechless at the same time. I, being the modest person I am replied; It’s not me, you took action, so it’s your doings.
It really makes you feel great when you know how highly people think of you. And now that Nola approached me today, it actually widened my smile.
To all my other readers don’t feel no way, I have been watching each and every comment and responding to all of them. And I applaud all of you for your responses. One other poster that I would like to acknowledge is Estella, you have always had a bright smile. I always told you that you have potential, and the one thing that I want to see is you proving to me that I was right. To Nicole, everyone was wishing for you to fail, but you passed, it goes to show you that once your will power is stronger than the rest, none can stop you.
As time goes by, each and everyone of you will be mentioned in my postings with the name you used to post a reply.
It looks like I will have to open up a forum and attach it to this web site, so that we can have a discussion on any hot topics that I write about. If anyone feels the need for a forum, just post your response, and I will start working on programming that into my blog. that will give everyone a chance to make their statement loud and clear in a live environment, that way everyone will be able to see what others are thinking.
Life is what you make of it, and it all starts with a small little dream, I spoke of many things in my life and I always said that I would build a highly successful website where people can honestly learn something. It is finally happening and I could not have done it without my readers.
Stay tuned in, this is one way of educating yourself in a positive way and making yourself a better person. Sign up for the newsletter, that way you will always be informed when I make a new spicy post.

Stop Using Your Mind To Make Excuses
Written by Alex Marlin on October 28, 2007 – 6:42 pm -As we grow older we are supposed to start thinking wiser and showing progress in life. As it seems, I notice more and more people growing older and becoming more bitter. Is society to blame for this? They are spending most of their time coming up with excuses why this or that isn’t working in their lives. If they honestly want to see progress, then it would be time to stop making excuses and start using your mind for more powerful things.
As the day went by I was really focusing on what to do today that would inspire some of my readers that isn’t actually making much progress in their work environment, business or life. A lot of the things that we are experiencing in our lives has to do with our own mind. If your unhappy, unhealthy or just depressed then your mind is winning the game of life.
I have always had little slogans that I set my mind on when things is bad or when I am just not getting into the right mood. Mood swings is something that can easily be achieved based on our own thoughts. One of my favorite slogans is: “If he/she can do it, so can I”. I always use this when I can’t find the right solution to a problem, I don’t ever dwell on the problem, I always try to focus on the solution. That was my favorite mind food while I was in school, and it always made me pass my classes.
How Do You Keep Yourself Pepped Up When Your So Thin
Being thin isn’t easy, because many people make jokes about you and have fun at your expense, but I was never ever the target because of my size, because I had a slogan for anything anyone would say concerning my size. As a matter of fact, it was mostly girls that would say your thin or skinny, and I would always answer: “That’s why your staring at me like that, wondering when you will get your chance to date me.” Yes, believe it, it always worked, and I would be dating that same girl that said I was too thin.
That would always break the ice, and they would just start laughing, I always had something to say no matter who tried to make me look small. It always seemed that my mind would just spring up with an answer to protect my size. You have to learn how to defend yourself with words and not excuses.
I am always in a great mood, because I would always have my mind set on what I want to do or accomplish in my life. I never let my mind stray away and go into a rotting mood and start thinking all kinds of negative things. I always had one thought that I would think of and it would put a smile on my face. I am very sorry, but I can’t share that with you, that would be infringement on my privacy.
But as you can see, you can also create such a mind moment for yourself.
It is actually very easy, just think on something great that always made you laugh or smile. If it was really a great moment you would end up smiling now while you think on it, that is how powerful those simple little moments are and can swing your mood in a flash.
It doesn’t have to be something you experience, like what I am using, it can also be something that you read or saw in a movie. Keep it nice and simple, and make sure it is something that makes you smile or laugh.
Don’t spend time thinking on things that will make you sad, you will only get more bitter and the truth is no body gives what face you walk around with. I have seen a good looking girl when she was young grow up to be such a grouch and have such a mad looking face because of how she keeps her face. The more time you spend thinking on awful things or people that did you wrong, the more power your giving them.
Stop Using Your Mind To Blame Others
Winners knows how important it is to stand responsible for their own actions. You have to learn how to not blame yourself, while at the same accepting that what your doing isn’t working and come up with a better solution. Just don’t quit or give up, the solution will come.
Pay attention for the coming week to the conversations or actions you will notice happening around you and how many people will be blaming others for everything that went wrong or is going wrong with them. If you start observing more and more of this type of behavior you would understand why many of these people are stuck in life. They are letting their mind control their built in solutions box and using excuses to blame others.
It is important to understand the power of your own brain, once you realize how powerful your own brain is at coming up with solutions, that will be the day you stop using excuse and blaming others.
How To Focus And Become A Person Of Actions
To increase your brain power is the best way to turn on your solution switch, you will have to start educating yourself. By this I don’t mean going back to School, which is also a great idea if you had been thinking about completing a certain education but kept putting it off, but what I actually mean is to start reading up on a specific topic that your interested in. Just grab a book and start reading, this is the best mind stimulant known to man.
Start paying attention to what people are saying and actually listening to them. Stop speaking like your racing with your own words. Take your time and speak.
And for once in your life, stop saying I will do it later, if there is anything you can do now, just get it done now, not tomorrow or next week. Start seeing yourself as an important person, and think before you speak and don’t blame even if it it was the other persons fault. Just simple say: OK, that didn’t work, so what do you think we can do that will work?
You are using the right questions that will force your brain to come up with the right solution. Your brain has the power to solve any problem your faced with, if you would only learn to ask the right questions.
There are no problems in life only challenges
If you wish to not remember the rest of this article it wouldn’t be a problem if you would focus on just the headline I wrote above. The power to solve any problem lies in the fact that you first have to understand that there are no problems, there are only challenges. Once you see any obstacle your faced with as a challenge, then your mind will start seeking the solution.
With a little boost you will master this process, just learn to accept the challenges, and prove how you will overcome each and every challenge your faced with. Just don’t question why anything happens to you, just understand that your being challenged every step of the way. Some of us have small mild challenges, while others gets gigantic destructive challenges. We all have the power within us to overcome each and every challenge we are facing.
It is obvious that if life was easy everyone would be wealthy and rich, but only those that master the process of overcoming challenges will win. My challenge now that I am facing is understanding how this whole Internet game works, and mastering this process will be easy, because I am educating myself and reading each and everything I can get my hands on that has to do with building sites online, getting traffic to these sites and making them worthwhile and important.
There is a saying that has so much truth to it, that I will bring it up now. I will give it with a little story twist. Let’s say I gave 20 people 1 Million dollars today and offer them free hand to do with it as they please. I can bet you that at least 19 if not all 20 would not have a dime after two to three years.
So why is that?
They have never focussed on owning a million dollars nor visualizing what they would do with it. They have no clue how to manage their own money. That will be like giving a five your old money and saying to save it. They just don’t understand the value of money nor how to make it work for them. They would buy all the nice things the world has to offer, drive fancy expensive cars and live in huge 5 bedrooms homes, each and every family member would get a little bit, if they are not “cheapos”.
Now if I take one person that has worked their way up the ladder and earned a million dollars and took it away from them, they would not see that as a problem, they would see it as a challenge and will surely become a millionaire in a much faster time, they understand how to make money work for them. The have a solution oriented mind. They just don’t accept defeat.
Which mindset do you want?
Do you want to keep wishing to be given a million dollars, wishing for a big winning lottery ticket or start developing your own mindset to earn a million dollars?
I leave you with that question, I trust anyone reading this blog will know which solution will create total freedom.
