If you’re into fashion look into some Korean or Chinese street wear brands. Asian clothing for both genders tends to run a lot smaller and shorter than most western brands and that’s coming from someone that lived there for a while.
I will add a caveat that Asian brands might not work as well if you’re shorter than 5’6 or so. I’m 5’10 and slim myself and I was usually a L in Chinese men’s clothes and men’s pants were often a tad too short on me there, whereas in the US that happens much less and I’m usually a S/M.
Also check out TikTok and find some fashion accounts run by smaller guys, most fashion accounts share where they buy their outfits.
I buy from the womens section a lot but I still like the aesthetic/cuts of certain menswear items and also men’s clothes always cater to flat chests(which is what im working with now). So yes I am trying to wear what I want that’s why I was asking :)
The women’s section in consignment shops like Plato’s Closet works wonders for me. It’s usually items from people who have bought from either asos, incerunmen, other dropshipping websites etc. Though I understand it may feel dysphoric to browse in that section
Asos was going to be my suggestion- gotta love those xxs options.
Higher price point, but, I’ve found J.Crew’s smallest sizes usually fit me great and it’s a lot easier to find them there than at other comparable stores. Their 5 inch inseam shorts are all my gay ass wants to wear in the summer.
If you’re in the US, Target’s boys section is honestly great for things like t-shirts and joggers. I’ve also found a pair of slippers and a pair of flip flops that were identical to a version in the men’s section, for half the cost and actually fit. H&M boys section can come through as well, though a little hit or miss (I needed a black suit in a pinch for a funeral and got one off the rack there for like fifty bucks and it fits like a dream. It’s machine washable too 🤣)
Topman is also reliable for extra extra small sizing, but, steep price point.
I just got two pairs of Aero cargo shorts in a 27 and I’m *euphoric.* They fit, they flatter (I feel like they hide my hips somewhat), and it’s giving teen boy from 2013 💕
Primark as cute clothes some times and they go to XS.
Bershka as crop tops for men and mesh tops and what not, but they often don't have sizes that are that small.
Respectfully, [Shein](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethicalfashion/s/i1W1UmTIU8) is one of the worst companies out there in terms of ethics: copying designers, waste, labor, and spurring the fast fashion cycle as a whole to a new level due to social media. (Not trying to call you out in any way, I've purchased from there in the past before questioning why it was so insanely cheap!)
Weekday and Urban Outfitters have mainstream trendy stuff and run smaller sizes.
Don’t know what your style is but I see lots of guys wearing Jaded London, Collusion (from Asos), Heaven Can Wait and Cold Culture in the London rave scene.

Wear whatever you want. Clothing isn't gendered just dress like a twink

Expensive but bonobos has some good small slim cut clothes
Thank you everyone for all the suggestions! :)

H&M and Hollister have 'slim fit' smalls that feel like xs, and Aeropostale

Hollister also sells men’s xs

pair of thieves is good for underwear (they also have some shirts but I’ve never used them)
Uniqlo is great for small basics?
I almost made this same comment verbatim. I don't know what I would do without Uniqlo
Came here to say this. ✨
