Hi!

So I'm around 350 pounds and I'm actively losing weight. But my current fashion sucks. My clothes never really "sit" right and I'm trying to work on that. For example, I wear the Levi's Big & Tall 541 Athletics and they are really comfortable on my waist but while they are pretty loose around my waist and REALLY lose around my calves they're kind of tights on my thighs because I have massive thighs. I'm looking for ideas to sort of work around the idea that my thighs are massive and I really need to distract away from them.

Today I wore a t-shirt with a button up shirt unbuttoned and my jeans. In all of the photos my thighs are just huge because of the jeans. I know I'm a whale and really need to lose weight in general to solve the problem but in the meantime, what are some ways I can dress better so that I can stop drawing attention to the areas I'm most sensitive about?

I usually wear a 3XL t-shirt, sometimes 4XL if i want to go REALLY loose. I wear 56x34 jeans but I've been going up to 58 if I want them looser but then they're super loose and long around my calves so I think I'm doing something wrong. No one taught me how to dress (my parents insisted on sweatpants and t-shirts growing up so I feel lost) and as a fat guy it's harder to ask anyone...

Here's an illustration of my body shape: https://i.imgur.com/hU9A8cz.png

Posting under an alt for reasons.

I've done some loose google searching and it appears that when the school is made aware of the incidents and takes no action they can be held liable for ensuring that their students are not disturbing the peace in the immediate area, according to prior cases (specifically citing a case in Seattle where students upon daily dismissal were vandalizing the local area of their school, the school was notified, and they weren't facilitating a better dismissal so the city stepped in).

So here's my qualm: this year when students are dismissed from Roosevelt daily they are menaces. In the past we've had loud yelling and fighting but it's never resulted in property damage. This year, since October, the kids are damaging property in the area. This one woman has had rocks thrown at her house, they've damaged a small statue on her lawn, some kids tore down a Portuguese flag and left it in the street, and today they came by threw PAINT on someone's car. PAINT. Roosevelt HAS been contacted and only said to tell the police in the past. The police have shown up, "looked" for the kids in question time after time and had a presence but nothing has come of it. With the paint incident, the police have said they reached out to Roosevelt but it's been a while and nothing has come of it. People in the area are getting fed up to the point where a small group of us are about to reach out to media, specifically WPRI. We have camera footage of the same-ish group of kids acting like assholes.

I'm coming here to ask because other than New Bedford Guide (which, seems to have a lot of racists and bigots that comment) there isn't another online congregated community to ask. What are everyone's thoughts?

Where is responsibility and accountability to be held when a large group of students are constantly disruptive, violent, and destructive when they get let out of school and they walk down Brock Avenue.

As an overweight man I really want to look good while I work at losing weight. I took photos with a friend today and my fashion sucks. Help.

The kids leaving Roosevelt Middle when they're dismissed this year are the worst its ever been. When is the school responsible (if ever)?
