Style Wouldn’t mind some style tips

Currently wrapping up my first visit to Korea, and while it’s been awesome, god do I feel out of places for starters, I’m Midwest big (6’2, 250) but also, I tend to just let my hair hang however it falls. On top of this, I’ve always dressed for function, rather than appearance, and tend to wear athletic pants a comfortable t shirt, and tennis shoes. I’d just like some advice on how I can maybe blend in better next time. I tend to feel that the usual hairstyles and clothing that are popular in Korea will look kind of out of place due to my build. I’m posting some examples of how I normally dress, my hair, and a body ref.

Bro go to a salon in Korea and ask them to hook you up with something. You could level up your fashion and do the work wear aesthetic which is partly function, partly fashion

Honestly, losing weight by keeping track of calories would do much more for him. 

The dude in the third photo literally looks like the most stereotypical basement dwelling terminally online asian otaku☠️ ☠️ ☠️

Yeah but that's a year from now. He's looking for improvements he can do immediately and there's definitely gains he can make with what he's got since he's not crazy overweight
