It has recently come to my attention that I haven't any idea of what I look like. I have a vague idea that I have a blocky, mostly undifferentiated body, with the exception of a pair of incongruously comic-book breasts. I am informed that this is not, in fact, true.

I've been dressing to reflect what I perceive as a lack of physical interestingness, occasionally choosing to accent the tits I see as my only noteworthy feature, but generally trying not to call attention to myself in any way.

So I have a question for people who do know what I look like. If you had my body, what would you wear? What should I be wearing that I'm not? What am I wearing that I absolutely shouldn't?

Any honest input is appreciated.

On the one hand, I have (had) the general impression that you move in such a way that *happens to* accentuate your curves a good portion of the time (your alarming flexibility, the Edward Scissorhands-movements, etc). Now I'm wrapping my brain around the idea that that is not in fact your intention, which makes it hard for me to make suggestions on something I'm really partial to. So I'll stick with non-kinesthetics for now...

Legs: If that's one of the features you do have confidence in, do what you can to accentuate that. I do like you in sarongs and skirts, but if you're not comfortable in them, that doesn't help matters. I recommend starting with small steps, accenting the things you already do rather than changing whole cloth. Start with more pants that flatter your legs and ass rather than hide them? Your newer jeans look much better on you than the raggedy ones, I think... they don't squeeze you out of shape, and you seem to walk easier in them. Are the faded ones too tight?

I am told by my wife and your girlfriend, both, that I walk more like a woman than you do, despite lacking (probably) the usual pelvic structure. I encourage you to stare at my hips and ass more, if that helps, though I don't do it consciously so I'm not sure I can 'teach' it. Further observation of you, as well, is required. :)

Shirts, I think you're pretty good at, because you're aware of the Power of the Tits™. Not a lot to improve on here in my worldview, though I will reinforce the turtleneck/sweater as a Good Choice when weather permits. Button-down shirts, obviously, are not so suited to your body...

I'm not sure what

rio_luna is getting at with the "don't cinch your waist", but with a short waist such as you have, it might be a good idea. I tend to prefer you in shirts that just cover your midriff/waistband but aren't tucked in, but that's probably cause I like to pet you up under your shirt. YMMV.

You are blessed to have nice legs w/o having to wear heels, which I'm sure pleases you to no end. There's probably something about walking that entails letting your arms swing freely, but that's an exercise for doing in person...

Your hair looks better off your face, especially because of the length. I was terribly partial to the long-in-front, short-in-back look you had six months ago or so...the red curls on your pale cheekbones is striking.

Any series of recommendations that includes spending more time looking at your ass has got to be good.

I didn't realize the new jeans were better than the old jeans, since they're so much baggier. And I have no inclination at all towards belts, so am probably safe on that count.

I had been wondering about the short-hair experiment, as well. I like it, but then, as previously mentioned, I'm not the best judge.

I wouldn't class the new jeans as 'baggy' in my current worldview, though I probably would have in HS when I wore mine *much* tighter...like I said, I'll look again. I know your taupe slacks look very good (but I'm not sure that you find them comfortable), as well, if that helps.
