Not Fitting in the Box: Finding Pieces that Feel Personal
I deserve to look good and feel good. Does it have to come at the cost of me dressing in the same sterile clothes as every other rack shopper and Amazon Click Fiend? Everyone knows the simplicity of High Formal and Lazy Casual. High Formal is presenting Competence, Confidence, Charisma and Class, and Lazy Casual is what feels most comfortable on your skin without regard to looks. While I've been quiet as of late, working towards the financial ability to rectify my wardrobe to always look good and feel better, I feel I may have an issue. I am finding several pieces in the Everyday Wear that work for most people, but don't feel right on me. Too branded, too stiff, too sterile, too cheap. It feels like every aisle and link is catered to Guy Business, Wily Wilderness, Kyle in the Lifted Silverado, Chad SportsBro and the most generic and disposable bare bones every day wear and workwear. All the personality is sitting in pop culture graphic tees, and as awesome as those are, they lack the class I am looking for in my wardrobe elevation. All of my yapping and griping aside, here is my question. Is it just a universal and fundamental truth that all men's clothing with any amount of style in America fits this sterile, stiff and clean cut mold? Or is there a way to uncover hidden gems better able to express my individuality and expression filled personality? I feel best when I look good, but would be remiss to deny these fears.

@Alex Kilpatrick here, adding a picture definitely helps. Taking a look at women's clothes, there is often little to no branding, different shapes, weights and structures, versatility and flexibility, and an ease of expression I just can't find in men's clothing. This drawing I pulled illustrates that notion. It seems on the Men's casual assembly, it's all the same shapes, all the personality sitting in branding, or pieces being too formal, and I want something different.

@Darren Poesel this makes so much sense, and is the advice I think I needed. Now to track down some of the smaller locales.

Cutting it Loose: Can One Still look Professional Wearing Loose, Flowing Clothes?
Hello again, your resident curious wanderer here! Been dealing with life, so I've been quiet. One of my favorite pastimes is taking inspiration from all over the world for how best to live my life (chronic health condition management for problems with little relief tend to necessitate broad horizons), and I wondered if I could apply those same outlooks to fashion. One place I've been repeatedly drawn to is India, with their free and flowing fashion, from Dhoti, Harem Pants, Pashminas and so forth. I already spend about fifty percent of my time carrying a towel over my shoulder, and am positively enamored with the gorgeous flowing look. The question today is simple. Is there any way a gentleman like myself in the heart of Tennessee, or anyone rather for that matter, can muster a professional look using a more loose, flowing, and vibrant wardrobe?

Dolled up while running errands today. Rocking a few formal pieces, an American Tourister Messenger and a Walter Hagen Gambler's Hat today.

Those Who Have Teenagers Know
Going into a teenagers room is like walking IKEA. You pop in to just look around and end up leaving with 8 cups, 4 plates, 12 teaspoons, 3 bowls, and a tea towel!

Too true. My younger brother does that all the time. I wasn't allowed food in my room then, but have to eat in my room now.
