For the Athletes here: where have you found clothes that fit your shredded body?

What seems to be the biggest problem in the fashion industry these days is that clothes are not made for people who take care of their bodies (thanks fatties).

It sucks sucks to find a great looking shirt for work that fits your upper body but then it feels like dress around the waist because the shirt is made for the average male who looks like he is 8 months pregnant. Then you go down a size and your upper body is about to hulk through the shirt.

Same thing happens with pants. You don't skip leg day so your quads are huge. You find those perfect chinos or jeans that fit perfect in thighs but the waist is made for a 38 and you're a 33.

Is there a place that keeps us in mind? or is our only hope to get everything tailored?

I usually go with custom.

Or you can buy girls jeans, they stretch.

The real problem is condoms. The magnums are just too small I need a bigger size.

In my 20s this was a problem. In my 40s now, slim fit is more than fine. Most likely you'll age into regular clothing if you don't get things custom tailored. So, there's your silver lining.

If your looking for jeans, try relentless jeans or barbell apparel. They make jeans for dudes and chicks with bigger legs and butts. Otherwise try to find some hand me downs. I've just revamped my entire pant selection from dress to jeans because my uncles have lost weight. Jeans and pants these days are made for hippies no flat asses and stick legs.

Dress clothes, probably gonna have to be slightly altered.

Everyday clothes... I wear alot of gym shorts and old khakis shorts that have been broken in. Columbia and Magellan are fairly loose in the butt and legs. Shirts just buy a size bigger and cut the bottom to fit if its too long.

That's all I got, been dealing with it for a while now.

Buy one size (or 2 sizes) up and wear slim fit. It'll fit your arms and shoulders without looking bunched up in the waist. Gotta highlight that V shape breh
